Shared artefacts as participatory Babel fish

Published:29 November 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

We propose an interwoven set of shared artefacts for stakeholder participation for designing domestic technology for intergenerational fun. Our toolkit includes technology probes, associated fieldwork, and conceptual goal models. We used the high-level goal models, derived from Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE), as a template to analyse rich field data collected via three technology probes with grandparents and grandchildren. The goal models combined with technology probes and field data, provided a uniquely inclusive set of artefacts for the participation of stakeholders in the design process.
