    Extended Abstracts of CHI 2012, ACM, New York, NY
    Preview abstract We describe how we built a model for user decision making during local search tasks, specifically hotels. We differentiate between affective and functional needs and identify the following stages and related information needs: 0: Lay of the land; 1: Generating options; 2: Scanning for attractors and detractors; 3: Due diligence. We contrast this framework with existing consumer decision-making models. We close by describing how this model influenced the development of the recently launched experiment, Google Hotel Finder View details

    CHI 2011 Extended Abstracts, ACM, New York, NY
    Preview abstract In this case study we discuss the mechanics of running a complex field research project within one week: 32 field visits, 4 countries, 9 locations, 10+ researchers, 30+ observers. We outline the goals that lead to this project plan, and the tools and processes we developed to succeed under the constraints given. We discuss in particular (1) the role of ongoing in-field analysis and data sharing, (2) the role of basecamp as a centralized mission control center and real-time analysis hub, and (3) the added value of running the study and initial analysis in such a compressed time frame. We close with a reflection on the strengths and weaknesses of this approach, as well as ideas for future improvements. View details
    Ignore These At Your Peril: Ten principles for trust design
    M. Angela Sasse
    Trust 2010. 3rd International Conference on Trust and Trustworthy Computing
    Preview abstract Online trust has been discussed for more than 10 years, yet little practical guidance has emerged that has proven to be applicable across contexts or useful in the long run. 'Trustworthy UI design guidelines' created in the late 90ies to address the then big question of online trust: how to get shoppers online, are now happily employed by people preparing phishing scams. In this paper we summarize, in practical terms, a conceptual framework for online trust we've established in 2005. Because of its abstract nature it is still useful as a lens through which to view the current big questions of the online trust debate - largely focused on usable security and phishing attacks. We then deduct practical 10 rules for providing effective trust support to help practitioners and researchers of usable security. View details

    CHI 2009 Extended Abstracts, ACM, New York, pp. 4795-4798
    Preview abstract The main goal of this CHI 2009 workshop was to bring together researchers from industry and academia, designers, and creators of mobile research tools to discuss methods, tools and infrastructure for mobile UX and HCI research. To achieve this goal, we: Provided a forum for participants to share past experiences, success stories, failures and associated learnings, as well as recurring problems; Jointly prioritized these; Mapped out the dimensions required of mobile research tools, and translate some of these into draft requirements and low-fidelity prototypes for novel research tools.
