    Blinded by novelty: a reflection on participant curiosity and novelty in automated vehicle studies based on experiences from the field
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Tagungsband, 2020) Mirnig, Alexander G.; Gärtner, Magdalena; Meschtscherjakov, Alexander; Tscheligi, Manfred
    Interacting with a novel technology or a known technology in a novel context can influence a user's interaction with said technology in both a positive or negative way. Research is often primarily interested in capturing interaction under regular conditions, rendering such influences less desirable. Depending on the actual novelty of any given technology, such halo or novelty effects might be weaker or stronger, and thereby more difficult to mitigate. In this paper, we want to share a number of experiences related to participant curiosity and technology novelty in interaction with automated vehicles. We intend to use our experiences from several studies to open the discussion on a potential underestimation of technology novelty and its effects on user research in vehicle automation technology and want to particularly highlight the role, researchers, manufacturers, and media play in shaping such effects.

    "But where would I even start?": developing (gender) sensitivity in HCI research and practice
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Tagungsband, 2020) Burtscher, Sabrina; Spiel, Katta
    Funding bodies increasingly require researchers to address gender in their proposals — often framed around binary notions. With power structures emboldening inequality highly prevalent and persuasive in Western societies, these seep into current practices of Computer Science and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research. Hence, developing an increased awareness of our societal responsibility towards equity can be challenging without an appropriate starting point. We present a close reading of literature discussing gender sensitivity in HCI research to provide practical guidance in the form of recommendations for the design, proposal, conduct and presentation of research. Our analysis provides a starting point for HCI students and interested researchers to explore questions and issues around gender and to identify how gender relates to their research. This sensitisation may aid them in further reflecting on how they might better serve marginalised populations through their work.

    “Let’s Talk about Gender” – Development of a Card Deck on (Gender) Sensitivity in HCI Research and Practice Based on a Contrasting Literature Review
    (i-com: Vol. 20, No. 1, 2021) Burtscher, Sabrina; Spiel, Katta
    Funding bodies in Western societies increasingly require researchers to address gender in their proposals – though often exclusively framed around binary notions. With oppressive power structures being prevalent and persuasive, these seep into current practices of Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. However, current curricula rarely provide actors in this space with grounded guidance on gender issues tied to their inquiries. Hence, developing an increased awareness of our societal responsibility towards equity can be challenging without an appropriate starting point. Drawing on a close reading of select literature discussing gender sensitivity in HCI research, we derived practical guidance in the form of recommendations for the design, proposal, conduct and presentation of research. Based on these recommendations, we then present the design of a card deck and initial tests thereof at ditact women’s IT summer university. Our analysis offers a starting point for HCI students and interested researchers to explore questions and issues around gender and to identify how gender relates to their research. This sensitisation may aid them in further reflecting on how they might better account for gendered implications of their work.

    Towards selecting among business process modeling methodologies
    (Business Information Systems – 9th International Conference on Business Information Systems (BIS 2006), 2006) Kaschek, Roland; Pavlov, Roman; Shekhovtsov, Vladimir A.; Zlatkin, Sergiy
    The problem of selecting the business process modeling methodology best suited for the business process modeling task at hand is often hampered by the conditions under which the selection is made. In this paper we sketch the foundations of a framework for selecting business process modeling methods. We base this framework on the Analytic Hierarchy Process. We therefore use a hierarchy of characteristics of business process modeling methodologies for our selection approach. To demonstrate how our approach works we discuss its application to two business process modeling tasks. We have developed a software tool that implements our framework. We describe this tool briefly in this paper.

    Using Eye Tracking in Usability Testing of Mobile Interfaces
    (Tagungsband UP12, 2012) Rösler, Alexander
    Until today, eye tracking has not played a major role in usability evaluations of mobile interfaces. Traditional eye tracking hardware has not been able to deliver the high resolution video and accurate gaze data that is required for studying mobile device graphic interfaces. Recently, more sophisticated eye tracking systems have become available which are supposed to provide more robust and accurate platforms for conducting eye tracking studies on mobile interfaces. This paper introduces two different solutions that can be used in eye tracking studies of mobile interfaces and discusses what to look out for during planning, conducting a study and analyzing the collected gaze data.
