intro
❖ usability / UX❖ complicated / complex❖ irreversibility❖ KTP

usability : computing❖ traditional usability
❖ numbers of clicks❖ errors❖ task execution times
❖ computer science departments❖ hardware❖ software engineering❖ ‘users’

user experience : information systems
❖ multi-disciplinary approach❖ usability, yes, but also❖ sociology❖ psychology
❖ information systems❖ human beings parts of the
systems

❖ IS not the IT and formal processes, or the people, but what emerges from the usage and adaptation of the IT and formal and informal processes by all its users (Ray Paul EJIS 2007)

bridging the old divide❖ W3C retreat from XHTML,
paving the cowpaths to HTML5❖ Continental philosophy (distributed, de-centred,
multiplicity) vs Anglo-American (analytical, instrumental, reductionist)
❖ Old certainties of 20th cent giving way ❖ ‘Life isn’t like that’
❖ Biology, environmental science, computational modelling of living systems

complicated systems❖ predictable,
mechanical, certain equilibrium systems ❖ complicated❖ restricted to our
machines

complex systems❖ complexity theory❖ dissipative structures❖ open systems
interacting with environment
❖ living systems ❖ spontaneous order in
far-from-equilibrium conditions
❖ bifurcation - irreducibly random elements

information systems❖ IS departments in Business Schools❖ Business drivers away from simple usability towards UX❖ recognition: human parts of information systems cannot
be understood by mere usability alone❖ web 2.0 user generated content❖ web 3.0 internet of things around us, our information,
our needs❖ Pre-existing conditions cannot be used to predict
outcomeshttp://glass-apps.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/google-glass1.jpg

irreversibility❖ mechanical,
mathematical, analytical approach is reversible
❖ more experiential ‘living’ systems are NOT reversible: a customer’s anger at an interface failure cannot be deleted
❖ impulse, above all, depends on a smooth and increasingly personalised experience

❖ RESEARCH <—> IMPLICATIONS❖ monitoring non-reversible experiences in
UX❖ studying what they are, how they unfold❖ implications for design
❖ site personalisation calculable on-the-fly by initial choices?
❖ conversation between developers and customers mediated by a learning system…
❖ more than just continual iterations…/… permanent beta…?
