Time design

Abstract

The goal of this workshop is to explore and support the design of temporal aspects of interactive systems. Time design is an emerging research and development domain that emphasizes the functional, causal role of time in human-device interaction. It draws on a diverse literature on time in cognitive psychology, psychophysics, sociology, computer science, engineering, Human Factors and HCI. Contributions from each of these disciplines are invited so that preliminary design recommendations can be distilled and an interdisciplinary research agenda can be defined. The discussion will be centered around several scenarios that highlight the temporal characteristics and requirements of different application domains.
