Abstract

The usability evaluation of advanced interfaces such as intelligent, adaptive and context-aware interfaces presents several challenges. These interfaces need to be evaluated over an extended time period and used in their actual context of use, rather than in a laboratory setting. Usability evaluation methods for traditional interactive systems have been extensively researched and are well understood. These methods include heuristic evaluation, usability testing and field studies. The goal of this workshop is to bring together people who are engaged in the design and evaluation of advanced interfaces across different disciplines. The objective is to exchange ideas and techniques relevant to the usability evaluation of advanced interfaces and to establish guidelines for the evaluation of such interfaces that cross-pollinate the different disciplines.
