- Notification of Acceptance: March 31, 2014

- Workshop: June 22, 2014

 

THEME AND AIMS OF THE WORKSHOP

Proliferation of self-service technologies is a hallmark of the modern society. Increasingly often our interaction with service-providing people, such as sales assistants, cashiers, bank tellers, hotel receptionists, border guards, and so forth, is replaced by interaction with various service-providing technologies: from simple devices to complex configurations of technological artifacts. These developments present a challenge to interaction design research and practice. The rapid increase in self-service technologies has far-reaching, and not yet properly understood, implications for individuals and society.

Ample evidence suggests that interaction with self-service technologies can be confusing and frustrating, especially for certain categories of users. Therefore, there is a need for more focused and systematic interaction design explorations into self-service technologies.

This one-day workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners interested in analysis, design, and evaluation of self-service technologies to collectively identify key issues and explore potential approaches in this increasingly important sub-area of interaction design.


 

TOPICS

Some of the key topics to be discussed at the workshop include (but are not limited to):

 -- The variety of SSTs: Clarifying the scope of the notion of “self-service technologies”, identifying main types of SSTs and related challenges.

 -- Conceptual tools for the design and evaluation of SSTs: Heuristics, guidelines, modeling approaches, design principles and methods.

 -- Universal design of SSTs: Designing for people with disabilities, older users, etc.

 -- Dimensions of user experience for SSTs (including individual and social aspects).

-- Security and privacy issues related to SSTs.

 -- Artifact design and service design as facets of interaction design of SSTs.

 -- Ecologies of SSTs: Analysis, design, and evaluation of technology configurations.

 -- SSTs, politics, and power.

 -- The impact of SSTs on human-human interaction.


 

SUBMISSIONS

We invite the submission of position papers, 2-4 pages in the ACM Extended Abstract format (http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/format) offering perspectives on interaction design of self-service technologies. At least one author of each accepted position paper must attend the workshop.

Submissions should be made by email to vklinin (at) informatik.umu.se and rizzo (at) unisi.it by *March 24, 2014*.

All workshop participants must register for both the workshop and at least one day of the main conference.
