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, workers'
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 workers' 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 workshop's 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 participants' 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 workers' user experiences in pervasive and smart
work places.
