SIMULATION-BASED EVALUATION OF INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS

in conjunction with the 13th International Simulation Conference
(ISC'2015), June 01-03, Valencia, Spain
http://www.eurosis.org/cms/index.php?q=node/3087


 * CALL FOR PAPERS *

IT systems are becoming increasingly more complex, both in terms of
their scale and
in terms of their individual functionalities. At the same time, the
systems should be
intuitively usable and should possess a flat learning curve for the
user. The integration
of the users into the analysis and the entire evaluation process is thus
essential
and new methods to increase the efficiency of evaluation are strictly
required. One
particularly useful method for the efficient evaluation and analysis is
simulation.
Within the scope of the workshop, new innovative methods and approaches
for the
practically oriented simulation-based evaluation of interaction-centric
IT systems should
be presented. An example could be a new approach to the simulation of
reality in Living Labs
or the usage of agent-based modelling for the simulation of distributed,
heterogeneous and
possibly autonomous systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

[ ] Living Labs as simulation environments for evaluation
[ ] Infrastructure simulation in Living Labs
[ ] Agent-based modelling for simulation-based evaluation of interactive
systems
[ ] Evaluation of user interactions with graphical user interfaces
[ ] Methods of practically oriented simulation-based evaluation
