Using Wizard of Oz to Evaluate Mobile Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter describes Wizard of Oz studies and gives a historical view that includes a summary of the literature in which several studies that used the method with mobile technology are discussed. The use of Wizard of Oz for mobile applications is explored by referencing the literature and by examination of a case study. A taxonomy for Wizard of Oz studies is presented that has been derived from a study of the literature in this area. A set of guidelines is presented that outlines the essential considerations in planning a Wizard of Oz study for mobile applications. The chapter concludes with some thoughts for future Wizard of Oz studies.

WOEB: Rapid Setting of Wizard of Oz Experiments and Reuse for Deployed Applications
We describe an approach and an environment for setting up Wizard of Oz experiments to test multimodal interaction (through mobile devices) for multimedia content delivery. This is based on a metamodel and a reference client-server architecture, whose implementation is discussed. The approach allows progressive refinement of the Wizard of Oz environment into a deployed application, through the u...
متن کاملMomento: Early-Stage Prototyping and Evaluation for Mobile Applications (in submission)
While it is important that applications designed for mobile devices be iteratively tested in natural contexts (e.g., by participants in the field), it is especially difficult both to develop mobile applications and to deploy them in the field. We built a system, MObile Messaging and EvalutioN TOol (Momento), to facilitate early stage development and field testing of mobile applications. Anyone ...

We are in the early stages of developing a spoken language interface that will help beginners write programs. Our goal is a system in which a student will talk to a computer using English sentences, in response to which the computer will generate syntactically correct Java source code. We believe that such a system would help beginning students by allowing them to focus on concepts instead of s...
متن کاملRapid Dialogue Prototyping Methodology
This paper is about the automated production of dialogue models. The goal is to propose and validate a methodology that allows the production of finalized dialogue models (i.e. dialogue models specific for given applications) in a few hours. The solution we propose for such a methodology, called the Rapid Dialogue Prototyping Methodology (RDPM), is decomposed into five consecutive main steps, n...
متن کاملObserving the Wizard: In Search of a generic Interface for Wizard of Oz Studies
Early prototyping is important for developing high-quality software. Wizard of Oz (WOZ) techniques are particularly useful for early stage evaluations of applications using Language Technology Components (LTC). However, an effective interface to support the task of the wizard is crucial. While several wizard interfaces have been built to date, most of them were designed for specific experiments...
