| Future Directions of UX Studies: |
| ENRICHING EXPERIENCE EVALUATION THROUGH DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES |
| |
| Submission deadline: April 30, 2018 |

-----------------------------| INTRODUCTION |------------------------------
Existing research has already explored UX methods from different angles,
whereas a focus on how to combine suitable methods, i.e., triangulation
(also called mixed methods or multi-method approaches), is still
missing. However, deriving UX insights from multiple perspectives to get
a more holistic view on UX is one of the key areas to further improve UX
research. New ways and means to improve a product's or service's UX, such
as multi-touchpoint experiences or data-driven methods (e.g., machine
learning) make a holistic contemplation of the concept of UX and its
evaluation necessary.
The establishment of mixed-method approaches and theories can contribute to
more reliable, holistic and well-motivated understandings of the concept
of UX. By this, unexpected results can be disclosed as well as important
and unforeseen research questions generated. At the same time, such a
strategy is able to provide answers to those new questions. Even though
a systematical investigation of multi-method approaches in UX is still
missing, researchers and practitioners have developed their own best
practices based on experiences, reflection, theoretical background, or
intuition. This wide-spread knowledge needs to be brought together, that
researchers and practitioners can learn from each other. By this, basic
challenges, aims, and strategies in UX studies can be uncovered. The
investigation of UX design and evaluation from different perspectives will
lead to a more well-founded understanding and will bring the quality of UX
research to a next level.
--------------------------| TOPICS OF INTEREST |---------------------------
In particular, we welcome contributions from academia and industry that not
only describe a particular study, but critically deal with the applied
methods and approaches- with focus on multi-method and triangulation
strategies. For further questions, please contact the editors. Topics may
include, but are not limited to:
* Motivations & outcomes of different UX research and evaluation strategies
* Conclusions from multiple and different sources, such as qualitative and
quantitative or attitudinal and behavioral data
* Benefits of combining contrasting theories that exist in UX research
* Defining best practices and highlighting gaps in mixed method approaches
in the field of UX
* Reflection on existing work, visionary concepts of UX evaluation
including current challenges and opportunities
* Data-driven UX methods contrasting currently established UX approaches
* Holistic user experience evaluation with various methods linking user
experience design, service design, and brand experience.
-------------------------| SUBMISSION PROCEDURE |--------------------------
All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original
and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts
should be submitted anonymized either in .doc or in .rtf format. All
papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Perspective
participants are invited to submit a 8-20 pages paper (including authors'
information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.). The paper
should be written according to the IxD&A authors' guidelines available at
<http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php>. Articles
should be submitted online via the IxD&A submission system available at:
http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/idea2010/login.php (when submitting the paper
please choose domain subjects under: 'IxD&A focus section on: 'Future
Directions of UX Studies').
