CS295J/Class 10

• intro evals
  • metrics
    • C: bring cognitive and perceptual modeling to bear in principled way on HCI design
    • S: scoped to 5 people over 5 years
    • I: high impact
    • N: innovation
    • A: analytical domain (supports hard thinking)

• • global comments
    • more explicit what/how
    • "We propose" at start and "five years ... $2.5M" by Gideon and Jon excellent -- emulate!
    • terser
    • a concrete thing for the $2.5M would be good; what will they get as opposed to what will we do? a theoretical foundation? better UI's? a system for automatically evaluating UI's? new knowledge about cognition?
    • steven + (adam, trevor, gideon | gideon and jon) would capture everything
  • Meta-work and Task-Interruption Support Interfaces (andrew)
    • (100) C=20, S=20, I=40%, N=20% (too focused on CS domain, scope too small, needs to appear to move outside HCI more, innovation unclear, good balance between rhetoric and specifics)
  • Collaborative 2 (need better title) (adam, trevor, gideon)
    • (220) C=60%, S=40, I=60%, N=60% ("computational models" too vague, good goal for connection to psych, probably need more specifics and tighter language to make them fit, hard to scope)
  • alternative collaborative (still need better title) (adam, trevor, gideon)
    • (270) C=70%, S=60, I=70%, N=70% (nice 1st para, 2nd para a little mushy, 3rd para needs work)
  • A Distributed Cognition Model of Human-Computer Interaction (gideon and jon)
    • (270) C=70%, S=70, I=70%, N=60% (a bit abstract, nice connection between areas, explicit scope good, question strange, focus on distributed cognition intriguing although it may be risky, "gaps" bit sounds too much like fishing)
  • EJ (need a better title) (ej)
    • (200) C=60%, S=40, I=50%, N=50% (too rambling at start: more solution less problem, hidden "we propose", scope hard to eval)
  • A Behavioral/Cognitive Model of Human-Computer Interaction (steven)
    • (190) iC=40%, S=50, I=40%, N=60% (good concrete goals and activities, "doomed to antiquation" great, not enough application)
• pick out proposal-relevant aspects of new readings
  • finish preliminary results section you have been working on (it will have been 30 hours!)
• assignment
  • finish preliminary results section you have been working on (it will have been 30 hours!)
  • critical enough?
  • are we getting rid of non-contributions?
  • list of cost/benefits for contributions
