From a socio-cultural point of view, usability becomes increasingly important with the rise of the so-called information society and the new and innovative ways of interacting with computers in the post-PC era. However, achieving good usability is not easy: Usability has always been difficult to define, measure, and evaluate. Since usability is a multifaceted concept, we need a great diversity of usability techniques to perform a usability study. The study of usability has been somewhat disconnected from the development life cycle of a product. Usability results of real products are usually kept secret, as companies prefer not to openly disclose the defects of their products, etc. In this track we seek original, unpublished contributions that are mainly focused on applying usability engineering models and techniques to real products or theoretical studies with clear practical potential of being applied. |
