In this workshop, we seek to bring together researchers, designers, and practitioners who regularly face the challenge of transitioning from contextual analysis to design implications and/or actual design. Our goal is to foster a community in this space, understand the techniques that are being employed to move from contextual analysis to design, the challenges that still exist, and solutions to overcome them.

Interested parties should submit a 2-4 page position paper (in CHI extended abstract format) to tkjudge@vt.edu by January 6, 2010.

This workshop will be held at CHI 2010 in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, April 10, 2010.

A typical development lifecycle for interactive systems starts with contextual analysis to guide system design. By contextual analysis, we are referring to any number of methods that create an understanding of users, their tasks and practices, and the situational context in which their practices and behaviors lie. Following this requirements elicitation, designers must transition into actual design based on the obtained contextual understanding. The challenge, however, is that this transition is often not simple to accomplish.

Interested parties should submit a 2-4 page position paper (in CHI extended abstract format) to tkjudge@vt.edu by January 6, 2010. Authors should provide details of the methodological tools they use and the challenges they face in bridging the gap, along with biographies for each author.

Submissions will be evaluated based on their relevance to the topic area and the authors’ ability to bring a unique perspective. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and at least one day of the conference. The workshop will involve short presentations from select attendees and we will compliment these with group discussions.

Design is a complex and collaborative activity that requires designers to be creative while still being ground in a thorough understanding of the system’s domain and the users’ activities, goals, and concerns.

Typically, system design first involves some form of contextual analysis. Generally speaking, this type of knowledge is obtained through methods such as contextual inquiry, ethnography, surveys, interviews, etc. Following this requirements elicitation, designers must transition into actual design based on the obtained contextual understanding. The challenge, however, is that this transition is often not simple to accomplish.

Even though processes such as Contextual Design and design artifacts such as personas, scenarios, or tasks , attempt to solve this problem, they often do not provide adequate support for designers to make this transition easily. Design literature in HCI tends to gloss over the steps taken to transition from contextual analysis to design. Similarly, researchers may tend to describe their method for contextual analysis and provide design implications, yet not describe how these implications directly affected the design decisions in an eventual system.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers, designers, and practitioners who: perform contextual analysis or requirements analysis, design, or face the challenge of moving between the two. We would like to build a community around these topics to understand the approaches people take to address the gap between contextual analysis and design, the limitations in their methods, and potential solutions to overcome these challenges. Within this scope, we will focus on and discuss the following issues:

The field of CSCW has gradually evolved and broadened its focus to include a variety of new contexts and groups beyond those in the workplace. One active area of research is the design of technology to support families. Families present designers with collaborative configurations distinctly different from those in the work place. These configurations are widespread and encompass many different contexts, including different application spaces, family arrangements, user goals, etc. The challenge with this is that there tends to be little common ground in which researchers and designers of technologies for families can understand how various studies and applications compare methodologically and in context.

The goal of this one-day workshop will be to bring together people in the CSCW community focusing on designing for families and synthesize the various methodological tools that people have used in their research and identify challenges with these methods and potential solutions.

• Workshop Overview

The field of CSCW has gradually evolved and broadened its focus to include a variety of new contexts and groups beyond those in the workplace. One active area of research is the design of technology to support families. Families present designers with collaborative configurations distinctly different from those in the work place. These configurations are widespread and encompass many different contexts, including different application spaces, family arrangements, user goals, etc. The challenge with this is that there tends to be little common ground in which researchers and designers of technologies for families can understand how various studies and applications compare methodologically and in context. The goal of this one-day workshop will be to bring together people in the CSCW community focusing on designing for families and synthesize the various methodological tools that people have used in their research and identify challenges with these methods and potential solutions.

• Paper Submission Requirements

Those interested in participating should submit a 2-4 page position paper in CSCW format to the workshop organizers by September 15, 2008. Authors should identify the context of their own research (e.g., application space, family arrangement, etc), the methodological tools they have used, and the challenges and successes with these tools. We also ask that authors include short biographies for each of the position paper’s authors. We expect that typically only one author for each paper will participate in the workshop. Submissions will be evaluated based on their relevance to the topic area of the workshop, originality, and their ability to bring a unique perspective to the discussions in the workshop. We also seek to include participants from a variety of backgrounds (e.g., designers, ethnographers, computer scientists, etc).
