]]> Comment on What should Emergence be about next year? by Jeff http://www.design.cmu.edu/emergence/2007/what-should-emergence-be-about-next-year#comment-295 Jeff Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:48:32 +0000 http://www.design.cmu.edu/emergence/2007/what-should-emergence-be-about-next-year#comment-295 I would probably attend another service design conference at Emergence, and I second Roberto's suggestion of Thakara as a speaker, though three years of service design would tend to lock perceptions of Emergence as a "service design-only" conference, in the same way that ID is known to run a "design research" conference. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I think that it's possible to move Emergence in other directions and come back to service design later with less danger of typecasting. One area that interests me and that I think deserves more attention by designers is ubiquitous computing. I get the impression that this is overwhelmingly an engineering-centric space at the moment. Technologies and ideas surrounding ubiquitous computing (such as RFID and the Internet of Things) will continue to find their way into society. That integration can be handled well or poorly and it seems imperative that designers become invested in the outcome of that conversation.

It could be interesting to focus next conference on this topic from different perspectives (participatory methods, new service organisation models, users behaviour/modes of participation, etc.) What do you think? See you soon!! Daniela Hi everybody
Both during the conference and in my daily research here in uk I’ve noticed a growing interest in ‘participation’ issues (often combined with personalisation), both in the design process (participatory approaches) and in the delivery of services (blurring of users-suppliers distinction) and both in business and public sector (see redesign of public services debate).

What do you think?
See you soon!!
