Workshop on "HCI design aspects for applications of m-commerce"
by A.C.Roibas＠bton.ac.uk 06 May '03

06 May '03

Workshop on "HCI design aspects for applications of m-commerce" - 1st Call for Papers 8 September 2003, in adjunction to MOBILE HCI 03, in Udine (Italy) The topic of the workshop M-commerce is one of the most challenging problems regarding interaction with mobile devices. The workshop intends to explore and analyse the main features in the design of scenarios of mobile commerce for the incoming 3G mobile communication technologies. One of the main problems to the diffusion of m-commerce in Europe was the applications' lack of usability. Furthermore there are other m-commerce related aspects as micro-payments, wireless authentication for proximity transactions, interactive-ads for mobile devices etc that deserve special attention by HCI designers. Mobile scenarios which are a fertile area for new applications and services, require an original approach to user centred interface design. Therefore, new design approaches, HF studies, behavioural theories and evaluation techniques need to arise in order to be able to design interactive m-commerce applications and services that provide the user with a positive experience. This tutorial aims is to sensitise participants to these specific HCI design issues for mobile applications of m-commerce; to share the experience gained in several case studies; to explore the most appropriate techniques of interface design and evaluation in this type of device range and to identify possible areas of exploration to extend the HCI research community in the proposed topic. ------------------------------------------ The activity organization The workshop is designed as a one-day practical activity with relevant theoretical discussion, ending with a poster design session. After the presentations and discussion, participants will be invited to choose a particular format for mobile-commerce (book payment, cinema booking, etc.) and hypothesise a plausible scenario of use (mainly when he is 'on the move' - e.g. in a train, using a pocket PC or a mobile phone) for these services or applications. Each team will be asked to summarize its findings with a poster presentation. ------------------------------------------ Program Committee The workshop organizers will be responsible for facilitating the breakout groups formed and ensuring discussion during the workshop. * Dr. Anxo Cereijo Roibás, University of Brighton a.c.roibas(a)brighton.ac.uk <mailto:a.c.roibas@brighton.ac.uk> * Stefania Marcoli, H3G stefania(a)marcoli.it <mailto:stefania@marcoli.it> * Luigi Centenaro, Ericsson spa luigi(a)centenaro.it <mailto:luigi@centenaro.it> * Lucia Terrenghi, Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology lucia.terrenghi(a)fit.fraunhofer.de <mailto:lucia.terrenghi@fit.fraunhofer.de> ------------------------------------------ Background of the participants and proposed group size The workshop is intended for practitioners working in the mobile industry (telcos, device manufacturers, service providers, etc.) and for HF academics and students with interests in human computer interaction and mobile commerce. Participants will be asked to submit a brief position paper of 1-2 pages, or a reference to a mobile product in which they have been involved. Participants will be selected on the basis of their interest in and familiarity with the topic. Although not particular skills are required, basic knowledge of interaction design issues are recommendable. A group not bigger than 20 participants will be very suitable to a positive share knowledge and experiences. However, if the interest in this topic significantly increases and request to participate warrant, then it would consider reformatting the workshop to accommodate larger numbers. ------------------------------------------ Participation and Deadlines Workshop candidates are requested to send a position paper (no longer than 4 A4 pages) before the 10th of June to a.c.roibas(a)brighton.ac.uk <mailto:a.c.roibas@brighton.ac.uk> .

Help needed about statistics
by mdiazdeisla 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hi dear colleagues, I am preparing an article on internet penetration. I have been looking for some data because I am interested in getting the percentage of households connected to the Internet over the total of households and the percentage of households with a broadband connection over the total of households. I would like to get the statistics from one source, because otherwise comparison among different sources is not very accurate. The countries in which I am interested in are Korea, USA, Hong King, Singapur, Taiwan, China, New Zealand, Norway, Australia. Thank you very much in advance, Mª Isabel Diaz de Isla IN3-UOC

Free Electronic Edition of the Fluxus Performance Workbook
by Ken Friedman 05 May '03

05 May '03

Performance Research has released a free digital edition of the long unavailable Fluxus Performance Workbook, a collection of short performance works and event scores by over forty artists. The first examples of what were to become Fluxus event scores date back to John Cage's famous class at The New School where artists such as George Brecht, Al Hansen, Allan Kaprow, and Alison Knowles began to create art works and performances in musical form. One of these forms was the event. Events tend to be scored in brief verbal notes known as event scores. In a general sense, they are proposals, propositions, and instructions for different kinds of actions. To accompany a special Fluxus issue of Performance Research, Ken Friedman, Owen Smith, and Lauren Sawchyn edited a fortieth anniversary edition of the Fluxus Performance Workbook. The workbook is now available in a free electronic edition. This book can be viewed on-line or downloaded. The download is a .pdf file that can also be printed. This expanded and updated edition of the Workbook contains scores by George Brecht, Jean Dupuy, Dick Higgins, Joe Jones, Bengt af Klintberg, Milan Knizak, George Maciunas, Larry Miller, Nam June Paik, Mieko Shiomi, Robert Watts, and many more.

Call for Papers Digital Cities 3 Workshop
by Peter van den Besselaar 03 May '03

03 May '03

------------------------------------------------------------ [Apologies if you receive this more than once] CALL FOR PAPERS DIGITAL CITIES III local information and communication infrastructures: experiences and challenges A workshop organized within the context of the Communities and Technologies Conference Amsterdam 19-21 September 2003 The relationship between technologies and communities is ambiguous. On the one hand, changing technologies of communication and cooperation have facilitated the changes in the way people relate to each other. Wellman has introduced the concept of networked individualism for this (3), and this points at the phenomenon that people often participate in a variety of only partly overlapping and often non-local communities. On the other hand, the role of place remains crucial important, as the local environment remains an important place of organizing and coordinating social life. Digital cities are developing on the intersection of these two phenomena: network and place. Digital cities can be seen as an effort to develop and use ICT-applications for the improvement of the local and urban infrastructure for living, working, collaboration, and communication within a networked society. Many experiments have taken place and are still taking place all over the world (see 1, 2, 3 for overviews), showing a large variation. - Some are developing advanced cutting edge technologies, others use established and well known technologies. - Some are mainly technological projects that aim at demonstrating the potential usefulness, while others are mainly social development projects, using the technology as an instrument for supporting the development of deprived groups, neighborhoods or regions. - Some are very resourceful, whereas others are low budget initiatives. - Finally, where some digital cities are merely (temporary) experiments, others are meant as sustainable part of the local infrastructures. The nature, functioning, use and sustainability of digital cities is highly dependent on contextual factors such as the political and social context, the actors involved with their different aims and resources, the organizational forms, and choices for certain technical solutions. Especially the arena of actors and organizations involved is a crucial factor in the development of digital cities. In the workshop we will discuss the state of the art in digital city experimentation and research, and build upon the lessons of the earlier workshops organized in Kyoto. We invite papers on the following topics, but the list is not exclusive. - Technologies for digital cities and community networks: development and especially evaluation of infrastructures, systems, and tools. What is 'appropriate technology' in this field? - Organizational forms of digital cities and community networks: the question of ownership and resources of local information an communication infrastructures. - ICT and social change in urban environment on different levels: examples, empirical studies, theoretical understanding. - Real and virtual public domain: differences, analogies, implications. - Interdisciplinary design approaches, methods and theories for community systems. - Digital cities / community networks and problems of privacy and identity. The objective of the workshop is to evaluate the state of the art in the field, and to formulate perspectives for research and for socio-technical design.

online supervision
by Ben Davidson 03 May '03

03 May '03

Last Summer, I put a questionnaire online to get an idea what sort of serious interest there might be from members of this list and a few others in receiving and offering online clinical supervision. At the same time I started putting a research team together to look at online supervision. I am delighted to say that the Online-supervision.net Research Team have now reached a key stage in their work. With virtually no publicity, we have had over 100 people from fifteen countries register on the online-supervision.net website, submitting an extensive questionnaire that captures their particular interest in providing or receiving online supervision. We have worked with commercial sponsors who have enabled the first phase development of a website and relational database application that will facilitate matching, introduction and communication between would-be supervisors and would-be supervisees. This is now almost ready to be launched. And we have also been developing a formal research proposal into online supervision which we will soon submit for ethics committee approval. A first draft of this can be viewed on the online-supervision.net website. If you have already registered an interest in this venture, you will around now be receiving an e-mail from the Online-Supervsiion.net Research team, asking you to review the details you supplied when you first registered and provide some further information relating to your professional qualifications and experience, for authentication purposes and to help us match you with other site users. If you have not yet registered, but think you might be interested in the work we are doing, please feel free to do so at the URL below. http://www.online-supervision.net/RegisterInterest.asp I would be extremely grateful for all feedback any of you are willing to offer, when you visit or revisit the website, regarding usability, design, functionality or indeed anything else. Cheers, Ben PS to those of you who e-mailed support(a)online-supervision.net, wondering what was happening, I'm sorry about the wait and hope the Online-supervision.net Research Team manage to communicate with registrants more regularly in future.
