the universal device

preliminary call for papers

on behalf of østfold university college we solicit original contributions concerning the idea, development, and
use of a universal device

the workshop will be a venue for researchers wanting to explore the theoretical and technical capabilities of this notion, as well as current and future user experiences, philosophical aspects and practical consequences

we encourage proposals for talks on the following topics:
implications for design activities
developing for unknown requirements
limitations of metaphors
examples of universal devices
social compensation
integration
modeling
etc.

talks can be based on abstracts or papers

our objective is to bring together papers based on the talks in a special issue of an appropriate journal
we hope that all participants will consider submitting a full-length paper for reviewing after the meeting, with this in mind
