This quarter we will discuss papers from ASSETS, InfoVis, UbiComp, or UIST. We focus on papers that make an interactive systems contribution. One way to articulate this is papers that:

Present something interesting about the design or implementation of an interactive system, really getting into the weeds of the system itself, which we can perhaps re-use or generalize as we design and implement our own interactive systems.

Organization

• One paper will be assigned for reading for each week.
• A pair of students will summarize the paper giving an initial critique. In class they will lead a discussion about the paper. We will assign leaders at the first meeting. To stimulate diversity, each pair should not have the same academic advisor.
• Other students are expected to submit a few comments in the Canvas discussion forum by Thursday at noon so that the discussion leaders can curate all the responses before the meeting on Friday.
• You are encouraged to read others' comments and critiques before the seminar. However, do not reply primarily to those responses in the thread. Save your responses for discussing in the seminar so that we have high quality discussion.

Lunch will be served at noon. We will start discussing at 12:15pm. We hope people come at noon and socialize a bit before the discussion.
