font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold'>Abstract</span></font></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>The workshop intends to explore and analyse crucial issues
in the design of the interaction in scenarios of ubiquitous communication
(multi-device interaction).</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold'>Theme and interest of the topic</span></font></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>The recent developments in communication technologies (3G,
iTV, broadband, etc) will strongly enhance and extend communication
possibilities in ubiquitous contexts. In this sense, convergent media is
becoming one of the main relevant HCI issues. Therefore, new design approaches,
HF studies, behavioural theories and evaluation techniques must arise in order
to be able to design interactive mobile artefacts that provide the user with a positive
experience.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold'>Objectives</span></font></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>Development of a HF research agenda for this specific
issue, to identify and extend the research community in this topic. Moreover,
to sensitise designers to the particular interaction-design issues in these
kind of communication scenarios (learning models, interface evaluation, etc.).</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold'>Target audience</span></font></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>The workshop is intended for practitioners working in the
communications industry (as telecom and iTV: device manufacturers, service
providers, etc.), for HF academics and for students with interests in human
computer interaction and mobile interaction.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>Participants will be asked to submit a brief position
paper or a reference to a Related project in which they have been involved (max
5 A4 pages). Participants will be selected on the basis of their interest in
and familiarity with the topic.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>Although not particular skills are required, basic
knowledge of interaction design issues are recommendable. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold'>Duration and organization</span></font></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>The workshop is designed as a one-day practical activity
with relevant theoretical discussion, ending with a poster design session.
After the presentations and discussion, participants will be invited to choose
a format of interactive service for ubiquitous contexts and hypothesise a
suitable scenario of use that will enhance users' interactive experience with
several devices. Each team will be asked to summarize its findings with a
poster presentation.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold'>Expected outcomes</span></font></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>This workshop will evaluate the evolution of HCI for
convergent media and discuss new challenges for the industry in this field.
Posters will summarize findings from groups' works. Results of the
Workshop will also be made available on the Workshop's Web site.</span></font></p>
