CREATING UBICOMP SYSTEMS
Elements of research Problem Goal Hypotheses Approach
Why build ubicomp systems? Problem
Address problem or societal need Goal
Prototype Hypotheses
Test hypotheses Approach
User studies (mobile users, public) Datasets Test limits of technologies
What kind of system? The real thing Prototype:
Low fidelity prototype Video (e.g.
Tap input as an embedded interaction method for mobile devices)
Rapid prototype Wizard of Oz (e.g.
The effects of speech interface accuracy on driving performance)
Almost the real thing (e.g. Lucid Touch)

Elements of a good system
On the subject of Rome…
Elements of a good system Semantic Rubicon:
What can the system know about the world and user?
What does the user know about the system?
Interactions of the two?
The system side Seamful design What to show the user?
Pessimistic: only what is known to be correct
Optimistic: everything as though it was all correct
Cautious: present uncertainty Opportunistic: exploit uncertainty
The user side When to involve the user?
Frequency and inconvenience Speech recognition accuracy low/high
Severity of consequences “Lights and siren!”
Reliability of system decisions Are you sure you should bother me?
Acceptability of automating tasks Parking, driving

“It is always runtime” Need careful startup? That’s a problem. Sporadically available elements? Handle
gracefully. What if individual elements fail/are
disconnected? How do you handle data when a source is
disconnected and when reconnected? Reconnection example: epidemic propagation
Identify version mismatches.
Debugging Log files Heartbeat Status displays (e.g. LED, sound) Diagnostic interfaces Remote access Externalize state or communications
(e.g. publish/subscribe)
Debugging: P54 examples Log files
Standard Heartbeat
Observe interactions with infrastructure Status displays (e.g. LED, sound)
User interface
