Model Driven Development of Advanced User Interfaces
- Bridging between User Experience and UI Engineering -
http://www.lero.ie/mddaui2010/
In conjunction with CHI 2010
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Saturday, April 10th or Sunday, 11th, 2010
THEME
========
In the history of software development, the abstraction level on which software is described has been increasing all the time.
The latest trend is to specify software using (platform-independent) models, which are then gradually and (semi-) automatically transformed into executable applications for different platforms and target devices.
The goal of this workshop is to discuss the use of (semi-) formal models in user interface development.
What is the right way of creative design and interaction design working with user interface models? Can models help in coping with innovative interaction techniques?
The workshop will be a platform for discussing the modelling of advanced user interfaces, such as interfaces supporting complex interactions, visualizations, multimedia representations, multimodality, adaptability or customization.
It will contribute to a better integration of knowledge from the Human-Computer Interaction community and the Software Engineering community.
We are striving for development methods which support the model-driven development of user interfaces with great user experience and optimal usability.
Which kinds of models are required to achieve this goal? How can different kinds of models be flexibly combined? How can individual and informal design skills be integrated into the process?
Can (and shall) we integrate the tools designers are accustomed to use nowadays? Is it possible to do user-centred design based on models?
TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================
We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to:
* Tools supporting model-driven development of advanced user interfaces
* Models related to one or more HCI aspects that relate to the user experience of the modeled application
* Project experience on user interface development using a model-driven development approach
* The combination of models and informal design knowledge in a model-driven development process
* A well-reasoned proposal for a (partial) answer to one of the questions in the theme description
WORKSHOP FORMAT
================
The workshop takes one full day during the CHI 2010 conference. The workshop will consist of short presentations by all workshop participants followed by in-depth group discussions on selected topics.
The results of this group work will be presented and discussed in a closing plenary session.
PAPER SUBMISSION
================
Submissions with in-depth discussion of one topic are preferred above submissions with a broader topic. Usage of an illustrative example is encouraged. Both academic position papers and industrial experience papers are solicited.
All submitted papers will be reviewed by members of the program committee. Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop.
All submission must be in English. Papers must not exceed 4 pages in SIGCHI Conference Proceedings Format and address one or more of the above topics. Templates are available at:
* Microsoft Word document template

Please submit your contributions electronically in PDF format at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mddaui2010.
At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop. All accepted papers will be published electronically as CEUR proceedings.
