• new conceptual models and metaphors
• small devices, different affordances
• cooperating small and large devices

DESIGN TOOLS

• design for new paradigms and media
• tools for design patterns
• design rationale
• ubicomp programming
• high-level and end-user programming (e.g. PBE)
• rapid prototyping
• automated evaluation

EDUCATION

• constructionist
  • experiential design
  • learnability heuristics
• collaborative
  • team support tools
  • DTVI, LiveNotes
  • active learning

UBICOMP AND CONTEXT

• privacy and usable interfaces
• uncertain information, grades of access
• managing system complexity
• evaluation in the wild

COLLABORATION

• decision support
  • reputation
  • expertise
  • tacit knowledge
  • consensus
  • recommendation and filtering
• informal or one-time collaboration
• fostering and managing trust
• meeting capture and facilitation

OTHER
