Apologies for cross-posting. CALL FOR CASES Cases on Usability Engineering: Design and Development of Digital Products A book edited by Dr. Miguel A. Garcia-Ruiz, Algoma University, Canada To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/ For more information, go to: http://people.auc.ca/garcia/cfc_cases_on_usability_engineering.html Proposal Submission Deadline: February 28, 2012
Introduction Through the discussion and examination of specific cases on the usability testing of digital products, students are given insight into professional issues through the trials, “war stories”, practical experiences, and research findings of practitioners, specialists, lecturers, and usability researchers. One advantage of using case studies as a mode of instruction is that it allows computing students to acquire necessary competences through exposure to contexts and settings that they might not otherwise experience in educational settings. Overall Objective of the Book This book will include case studies on the rationale, state-of-the-art studies, proof-of-concepts, and real-life examples of usability methods and techniques which test the design and development of digital products. These cases are optimal for usability, human-computer interaction, human factors, ergonomics, software engineering, and related courses. Submission Procedure Lecturers, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before February 28, 2012, a 2-3 page case proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed case.
