Presented at: 10th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2011)
Hi there. Does the following sound like you? You are creating a tool that is supposedly for Real People to use, so you figure, do a user study of some kind and you'll submit it as a paper? You've tried the above and the paper didn't get accepted saying "this isn't research; it's just applied user centered design" You want to validate your tool work with users but you don't have the expertise either to test your idea or prove that it's a user interaction contribution? You've designed a tool that's a really cool technology whether users use it or not, you don't care about the user testing, you just want to get the contribution out there, but reviewers say "where's the evaluation"? If any of the above scenarios sound like you, we feel your pain. But don't worry: we can help.
