| Summary of the topics and conclusions and creation of poster |
The workshop will be organized into two sessions covering the main crucial points of the workshop:
- the first session will address the analysis of the new trends and novel interaction models in mobile and pervasive iTV as well as the new research methodologies and techniques for making the scenarios;
- the second session will focus on the design, support and evaluation of sociability in domestic, mobile and pervasive iTV. Each session will focus around a few common subthemes, identified by the moderators based on the submissions.
At the start of each session, the moderators will highlight the key points of submitted papers that will be useful for the whole group debate. They will actively interact with the audience to stimulate discussion around these key points.
Each discussion should end in a clear statement that can be used for the poster. The last part of the workshop will be devoted to produce a final poster to be shared with the broader CHI community.
The topics of Session 1 include, but are not limited to:
- technological, cultural, political, and economic dimensions of future pervasive and interactive communication systems;
- emerging nomadic societies and related socio-cultural trends;
- new challenges in pervasive communication systems: interoperability between interfaces, tangible computing, intelligent environments, etc;
- innovative research approaches (including the use of Cultural Probes) and the creation of feasible and relevant future scenarios;
- taxonomy of radical applications (broadcast/narrowcast, context-aware, etc);
- patterns for smart & malleable content;
- advanced interaction models (immersive environments, humanising interfaces, haptics, etc);
- advanced evaluation techniques for pervasive iTV applications.
The topics of Session 2 include, but are not limited to:
- challenges of analyzing and designing for sociability in social electronic media
- theorizing sociability in home, mobile and pervasive iTV
- understanding and supporting sociability in social electronic media
- transferring interaction patterns from other social media like (online) games and the internet to iTV
- technologies for social user experiences in iTV
- New and emerging iTV communities
- evaluating sociability with user based evaluation or expert based evaluation.
