CALL FOR PAPERS.
==================
IUI/CADUI'2004 Workshop on
MAKING MODEL-BASED UI DESIGN PRACTICAL:
usable and open methods and tools
13th January, 2004, Madeira, Portugal.
In conjunction with the IUI/CADUI'2004 joint conference, we are
arranging a
workshop on Making model-based UI design practical: usable and open
methods and
tools. We hereby invite you to write a position paper detailing your
experiences
with model-based UI design (MB-UID), and how you think MB-UID can be
made more
practical and industry-friendly. The workshop takes place in Funchal,
Madeiera,
January 13, i.e. the day before the main IUI/CADUI conference
starts, and
workshop participants must register for the main conference. Details
of the
workshop and main conference can be found at
http://www.care-t.com/events/mbui-workshop2004 and
http://www.iuiconf.org/,
respectively.
BACKGROUND
----------
Model-based UI design is an established field with a strong, but
unfortunately
small community. Although the potential has been shown through
research
prototypes and a few commercial tools, there are still few
practitioners of
model-based UI design methods. The natural question is why?
There are many important qualities of methods and tools that may be
lacking,
among others: availability, scalability, completeness, openness,
standard
compliance, in short, the usability of methods and tools. The
workshop will
focus on not just why, but also what can be done to improve on the
situation.
The workshop's focus is more on usability (in a broad sense) of
methods and
tools than on theoretic problems. Therefore, personal experiences and
practice
are just as important for identifying problems. As a result of the
workshop, a
common vision of the next generation UI methods and tools could be
achieved.
Necessary steps to achieve the vision will also be discussed.
POSITION PAPER
--------------
You are invited to submit a position paper where you present your
practical
experiences with using, teaching, implementing (in an organisation) or
otherwise
promoting MB-UID, and you views on how to make MB-UID more
practical and
successful. Position papers should be between 2 and 4 pages,
follow the
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigchi/chipubform format and submitted
before 6th
November, 2003 as PDF-attachments to Hallvard Trætteberg
([log in to unmask]).
Position papers will be selected based on general quality and specific
relevance
for the workshop. Note that the workshop participants are required to
register
for the main IUI/CADUI'2004 conference. Position papers will be
posted on the
workshop web page
(http://www.care-t.com/events/mbui-workshop2004/papers.html)
and participants will be assigned a couple of papers to comment on
during the
workshop.
Possible topics (not limited to), that may be addressed by the
position paper
(and the workshop) are the following
1. Stories of success and failure
* What has been shown to work?
* Usage context (org/proj/participants) that is required for
successful use
of model-based UI design methods
* When shouldn't model-based methods be used?
2. What are the desired properties for UID tools?
* easy of use,
* precision,
* separate of concerns,
* scalability,
* code generation support,
* visual specification,
* reuse of specifications,
3. What are the unsolved problems with UI tools?
* maintainability (respect to domain models, etc.),
* no common standard for UI specification (UML lacks of UI
primitives)
* round trip problem (regeneration of UIs without loosing manual
changes)
4. Integration with existing methods and tools
* Using UML for UI design
* Extending UML with UI-specific constructs
* User-centred design, prototyping and model-based design
* Usage-centred design, can it be merged with more formal methods
* GUI-builders and model-based tools, possibility of hybrid tools
5. Educating industry (and students as potential practitioners)
* How do we present our methods to potential practioners?
* How may we introduce model-based UID methods in the curriculum
6. Building open tools
* Sharing models and opening up existing tools
* Meta-modelling (possibly extending UML), MDA-based tool
construction
* Open-sourcing and cooperating on tools (ala ArgoUML/ARGOi)
