Making Claims in Interaction Design: Following Knowledge Trails Toward Informed Solutions
Virginia Tech
The portability and computing power of mobile technology provide ways for
people to have constant access to information, and many domains have
specialized problems and user populations that can benefit from shared design
knowledge. This talk examines how the capture and reuse of claims can help
share knowledge across diverse user populations, resulting in measurably better
user interfaces for emerging mobile platforms. The talk will highlight examples
of claims reuse (and more generally knowledge reuse) from the last 100 years,
projecting how today's knowledge-sharing tools and environments could leverage
lessons from these examples.
Scott McCrickard is an Associate Professor of
Computer Science and a member of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction at
Virginia Tech. He is currently on sabbatical for the 2011-2012 academic year at
the University of Colorado Boulder. His research is on the design of mobile
interfaces, toward understanding how designers capture, share, and reuse design
knowledge. He has received best paper awards from the
Internet Research Journal, the IFIP Interact Conference,
and the Advances in Computer-Human Interactions Conference. He received his
undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina in mathematical
science, and his MS and PhD degrees from Georgia Tech in computer science.
Hosted by Clayton Lewis.
