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.
