Call for Papers

This workshop on pilot implementation has three main objectives:

• To help mature pilot implementation as a technique for evaluating human-work interaction designs during the process of their development and implementation.
• To collect case studies that analyze experiences – good and bad – with conducting and learning from pilot implementations.
• To formulate a research agenda for future work on pilot implementations – addressing their strengths, limitations, conduct, impact, and so forth.

Pilot implementations are field tests of properly engineered, yet unfinished, systems. In contrast to lab tests, the users in a pilot implementation use the system for performing real work. In contrast to full-scale implementations, the objective of a pilot implementation is to learn. The workshop on pilot implementation aims to (a) help mature this technique for evaluating human-work interaction designs during the process of their development and implementation, (b) collect case studies that analyze experiences with conducting and learning from pilot implementations, and (c) formulate a research agenda for future work on pilot implementations – addressing their strengths, limitations, conduct, impact, and so forth. The target audience for the workshop is researchers and practitioners working on topics related to work analysis, interaction design, system-organization fit, organizational implementation, benefits realization, and in-the-wild evaluation.

The relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Sociotechnical aspects of user experiences in pilot implementation
• Pilot implementation of digital twins system
• Pilot implementation in virtual reality
• Pilot implementation and issues of legacy systems and interoperability
• Organizational alignment with pilot implementation
• Making sense of pilot implementation testing data with information visualisation
• End-User Development in pilot implementation
• Cognitive breakdowns in remote pilot implementation tests

For further information, please read the workshop description paper.
