CSE590h HCI/Interactive Systems Seminar (Fall'14)

This quarter, we will read and discuss a selection of UIST 2014 papers, looking deeply at the challenges of building interactive software.

Organization

  • One paper will be assigned for reading for each week.
  • A pair of students will take the lead in first summarizing the papers and giving an initial critique. The pair will then 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 or critiques to the mailing list (cse590h_au14@uw.edu) by thursday 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 to those responses in the thread. Instead, jot down 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.
