Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
Today, it is a true challenge to design applications that support
users of technology in complex and emergent organizational and
work contexts. To meet this challenge, the Working Group 13.6
(WG13.6) on Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) was established
in September 2005 as the sixth working group under the
International Federation for Information Processing specifically
the Technical Committee 13 on Human Computer Interaction (HCI). A
main objective of the WG13.6 as defined in 2012 is the analysis of
this complexity and its relationships between extensive empirical
work domains studies and HCI designs.
We are particularly interested in observing technology-mediated
innovative work practices in informal settings, in a social
development context. This is why WG 13.6 has decided to promote
research jointly with WG. 13.8 on Interaction Design in
International Development, whose main interest since its creation
in 2006 is to promote the application of interaction design to
address the needs, desires and aspirations of people across the
developing world.
Today’s technologies change the way we work with pervasive
interfaces and smart places, often shifting our physical
boundaries and our operational modes. From health care, to traffic
control, interaction with new technologies, researchers have
raised challenging issues for HCI researchers and experts. This is
even more challenging when one is away from the mainstream
industrial sites of the global north.
In line with recent suggestions that HCI should “turn to practice”
and do practice based research, the utility and merit of defining
a field from its published works stems from providing a conceptual
frame to organize a variety of issues emerging in recent HCI
research. In this focus section, we take a practice oriented,
bottom up approach where one can analyze and synthesize relevant
field work. Stephanidis states that interactive technologies are
entering all aspects of everyday life, in communication, work and
collaboration, health and well-being, home control and automation,
public services, learning and education, culture, travel, tourism
and leisure, and many others. An extensive variety of technologies
are already available, and new ones tend to appear frequently, and
on a regular basis. Because of this we have to be attentive
towards the development of studies that will help the growth of
new technologies itself.
This focus section also aims at analysing the connections between
ecological interface design with other common interface design
methods, enabling participants to better understand how to combine
approaches in the creation of design solutions. We propose to
approach this in the perspective of transforming everyday
interactions of people with technologies, in particular cognitive
work approaches, using examples and case studies. Examples of
everyday services and technologies that are already enabled by
multiple cognitive engineering approaches include Amazon’s Echo,
IBM’s Watson, Apple’s Siri, services like Dropbox, Spotify,
Pinterest and so many others.

Topics of Interest
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the above context, this focus section of IxD&A invites
papers around the following list of topics:
• human-centered design approaches for specific work domains
(workplaces, smart workplaces);
• visions of new roles for workplaces that enhance both work
practice and interaction design.
• can HWID be effectively applied beyond control rooms and other
industrial or manufacturing contexts?
• analyzing the value of the current state of affairs with regard
to the concept of “affordance”;
• how does HWID can help improve the experience economy, the
knowledge economy (Web 2.0, user-generated content) and the
transformation economy (ethical value change, global and societal
issues);
• case studies of applied HWID leveraging on pervasive computing,
Internet of Things, and other work domains or workplace
technologies.
