IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication Call for Submissions:
  Autumn 2012 Special Issue on Designing a Better User Experience for Self-=
Service Systems
Guest editors: Thea van der Geest, Judy Ramey, Stephanie Rosenbaum, Lex van=
 Velsen

Format and goals:
Have you conducted formal research or done  a case study on some aspect of =
the design of the user experience for a `self-service' application? Have yo=
u faced the challenge of creating and systematically analyzing or evaluatin=
g the user experience for systems where users do what clerks, government em=
ployees, or other "services" people used to do for them?=20

If so, we invite you to contribute to the Autumn 2012 special issue of=20
IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication on
Designing a Better User Experience for Self-Service Systems
We aim at bringing together a set of empirical and critical service design =
studies and user-focused evaluations of the user experience of  "self-servi=
ce" systems.=20

If you think your study is a good fit for this special issue, be sure to le=
t us know as soon as possible. Submit a two-page abstract summarizing your =
approach and your findings before 1 September. We will use the abstracts to=
 select authors, who will be invited to submit a complete article. (See bel=
ow for the timeline for submissions.)
=20
Prospective authors should have:
=95  Taken part in a systematical evaluation or case study of a self-servic=
e system or process
=95  Analyzed or evaluated the problems and solutions for creating a good s=
elf-service user experience
=95  Obtained organizational approval for publishing about the self-service=
 systems study.

Requirements for abstracts:
Abstracts for reports on empirical, user-focused studies on self-service (t=
wo pages long) should address:
1.	Theoretical perspective: from what point of view are you analyzing and e=
valuating the self-service process or system?=20
2.	Research questions: what was the self-service research focus, and how wi=
ll it add to our understanding and knowledge of self-service?
3.	Method: how did you go about investigating the research questions? Who w=
ere your participants, and how did you collect data and analyze it?
4.	Findings: what did you learn?
5.	Discussion: what are the possible implications and limitations of your r=
esults for service application designers and other professional communicato=
rs? What future work is called for?

To help the authors use criteria similar to our peer reviewers and clarify =
their experience in a manner that others can use to generalize from, abstra=
cts for case studies (two pages long) should address at least the following=
:=20
1.	Explicit description of the problem(s) designers were trying to solve.
2.	Methodology: How the case study data was compiled.
3.	Project particulars: Relative budget, relative amount of development tim=
e, constraints, technologies used (i.e. proprietary or open source).
The case studies should address one or more of the following themes:
1.	Pre-design approaches, methods, or results:  User studies of context of =
use, users' expectations of service, prior knowledge, etc.
2.	Actual design: What cues were included for boosting users' performance a=
nd perceptions (sense of trust, privacy protection, confidence, empowerment=
)? How were user problems with the self-service avoided or solved?=20
3.	Failure strategies: How could people escalate their `problem' from the s=
elf-service situation to an interaction with human or organizational suppor=
t, then return successfully to the self-service environment?
4.	Results: Approaches, methods, and metrics for determining the impact and=
 quality of self-service.

Prospective authors who have other ideas for relevant articles for this spe=
cial issue, please contact the editors.=20

Timeline for submissions
1.	Drop a note if you're interested to contribute, as soon as possible!
2.	Abstract submission deadline: September 1st, 2011.
3.	Notification of authors: October 1st , 2011. Those whose abstracts are a=
ccepted will be invited to submit a complete article.

PURPOSE OF THE LIST:&nbsp; The objective of AIGA Experience Design is to bu=
ild an interdisciplinary community of professionals who design for a world =
in which experiences are increasingly digital and connected. This list has =
been established as a forum for the exchange of information among community=
 members.<BR>
<BR>
TO VIEW ARCHIVED MESSAGES: visit <a href=3D"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/A=

<BR>
<BR>
ETIQUETTE: We ask that participants observe common principles of civility a=
nd e-mail etiquette in their postings. Specifically, it is more appropriate=
 to challenge ideas than individuals, and the list should *not* be used for=
 personal communications, self-promotion, commercial solicitations or job p=
ostings.<BR>
