Human Work Interaction Design for Pervasive and Smart Workplaces
https://sites.google.com/site/hwid2014
Pervasive and smart technologies have pushed workplace configuration
beyond linear logic and physical boundaries. As a result, workersı
experience of and access to technology is increasingly pervasive, and
their agency constantly reconfigured. While this in certain areas of work
is not new (e.g., technology mediation and decision support in air traffic
control), more recent developments in other domains such as healthcare
(e.g., Augmented Reality in Computer Aided Surgery) have raised
challenging issues for HCI researchers and practitioners. The question now
is: how to improve the quality of workersı experience and outputs?
This workshop focuses on answering this question to support professionals,
academia, national labs, and industry engaged in human work analysis and
interaction design for the workplace. Conversely, tools, procedures, and
professional competences for designing human-centered technologies for
pervasive and smart workplaces will be discussed.
Objectives:
This workshopıs overall objective is to provide the HCI field with sound
tools, procedures, and professional competencies for designing
human-centered technologies for pervasive and smart workplaces. This
includes the following objectives:
- Learning from participantsı experiences in different work domains when
applying work analysis to support the interaction design of pervasive and
smart workplaces;
- Exploring how work analysis and interaction design have evolved, have to
evolve, and can be made to co-evolve in order to support workers in
pervasive and smart workplaces;
- Identify novel ideas, principles, and techniques for how interaction
design for pervasive and smart workplaces can ensure high quality
usability and user experience for workers.
- Addressing the sociotechnical gap in work analysis and interaction
design, specifically the little understood gap between social requirements
and technical designs. We know that artifacts such as requirements
analysis reports, design models, or prototypes help bridge the gap, but we
do not know if, how, and why this helps;
- Designing simple interactions for complex work domains. How to be
heedful of other agents' intentions and plan, and how to align one's own
with those of others and with technologies in simple ways within complex
work domains? Display and monitoring are traditional activities to support
coordination, but this is not enough, and we need to know more about to
humans can manage the workersı user experiences in pervasive and smart
work places.
