Beringer, Joerg, Fischer, Gerhard, Mussio, P., Myers, Brad A., Paterno, Fabio and Ruyter, Boris de (2008): The next challenge: from easy-to-use to easy-to-develop. are you ready?. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 2257-2260. Available online

“The main challenge of next years is to allow users of software systems, who are non-professional software developers, to create, modify or extend software artefacts. In this panel we want to discuss with the CHI community the key aspects in the area of End User Development and an associated research agenda, which should be then proposed to the main research agencies, such as NSF and EU ICT.”

“This workshop will discuss the implications of the use of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) for Persuasion. AmI allows surrounding the user with persuasive technology in their everyday life, giving the possibility for persuasive interventions just at the right time and in the right place. The workshop will focus on the potential of Ambient Persuasion for applications in the area of sustainability, health and well-being and related areas. It will also address the need for theoretical foundations and frameworks on which to ground such applications. The use of AmI for persuasion also raises a number of ethical and privacy questions. These issues play an important part in the overall user experience of persuasive AmI applications, where a special focus of this workshop lies.”

“This paper introduces robot intervention, a novel approach to usability testing with children. A social robot is used as a proxy for a test administrator who conducts an active intervention session remotely in a Wizard of Oz fashion. The motivation of the technique is that children will feel at ease and enjoy interacting with the social robot, and thus produce more frequent and informative verbalizations regarding their interaction with the product under test. First experiences regarding this method are positive with regards to the feasibility of the method and with regards to how well it is received by children.”

“Mobile persuasion is using a mobile device to motivate people to change their behavior in a positive way. Thus there is the potential in investigating how mobile technology could motivate people to change their behavior towards energy use in a home setting. In this paper we report a pilot study that was conducted to determine which of three visualization media (text, audio, multimedia) on a mobile device (EZ Phone: Energy Zaving Phone) can be the most effective in persuading users to conserve energy in a home setting. The design of the device was presented in the form of a video prototype. The study was carried out as a between subjects design with the type of medium the independent variable and persuasion was measured in the form of subjective perception. Our results show that text (SMS) is perceived to be the most persuading and Multimedia Message Service (MMS) the least persuading. We also present our thoughts on the implications to design and future development of our ongoing research on mobile persuasion.”

“We present an empirical study regarding the relative importance of complying with privacy related guidelines in the context of a Health Monitoring System. Participants were confronted with text scenarios describing privacy related aspects of a health monitoring service for daily use at home. Participants assessed the relative importance to them of simplified variants of the OECD (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development) guidelines for the protection of personal data. The guidelines that relate to Insight and Openness were most valued. The guidelines relating to Modification and Data Quality were valued least by most participants in this context. Methodological challenges were encountered on the way, which reveal the complexity of conducting empirical investigations of privacy aspects of human-computer interaction.”

Markopoulos, Panos, IJsselsteijn, Wijnand, Huijnen, Claire and Ruyter, Boris de (2005): Sharing experiences through awareness systems in the home. In Interacting with Computers, 17 (5) pp. 506-521

“In the current paper we hypothesize that providing peripheral awareness information to remotely located but socially close individuals will yield affective user benefits. An experiment in a controlled home-like environment was conducted to investigate the effects of providing different levels of peripheral awareness information on these affective benefits. In the experiment peripheral awareness aimed to support groups of friends to jointly watch a soccer match at remote locations. The experiment has shown that providing awareness information increases the social presence and the group attraction felt by individuals towards their remote partners. The experiment has provided concrete quantitative and qualitative evidence for the hypothesized benefits of supporting primary relationships through awareness systems and of the relevance of social presence as a requirement in the design of peripheral awareness displays.”

“This paper reports an exploration of the concept of social intelligence in the context of designing home dialogue systems for an Ambient Intelligence home. It describes a Wizard of Oz experiment involving a robotic interface capable of simulating several human social behaviours. Our results show that endowing a home dialogue system with some social intelligence will: (a) create a positive bias in the user's perception of technology in the home environment, (b) enhance user acceptance for the home dialogue system, and (c) trigger social behaviours by the user in relation to the home dialogue system.”
