About the conference

User-centered design is one of the key success factors for innovative electronic and mobile business solutions such as e-commerce websites and mobile apps. The special track UC EMoBus welcomes authors to submit original scientific work and practical insights on state-of-the-art methods and the impact of an early user involvement in the development of new e- and m-business products and services. Important areas for research are methods, tools and instruments of user research, feedback analysis and prototyping within an iterative and user centric development approach.

The conference is set up as a special track of CENTRIC 2017, The Tenth International Conference on Advances in Human-oriented and Personalized Mechanisms, Technologies, and Services (http://www.iaria.org/conferences2017/CENTRIC17.html).


Relevant Topics

Research work can analyze scenarios in B2C, B2B and B2E markets by applying qualitative or quantitative research methods. The track invites authors with idea papers as well as short and long papers.

All submissions should have a clear focus on electronic or mobile business. The focus should be reflected in the title of the submission. Submissions without a relevance on electronic and mobile business will not be considered for review.

Topics include, but not limited to:
Innovative prototyping tools for e- and m-business products and services
Innovations in e- and m-business user research (e.g., for use case analysis, diary studies)
Advanced user feedback data collection and analysis in e- and m-business scenarios
Innovations in logging, tracking and analysis of user behavior in e- and m-business
Application of lean concepts for e- and m-business model innovations
Impact of user centricity on e- and m-business success
