Creativity Support for Designing Ubiquitous Computing Applications
Workshop "Information Spaces for Creative Conversations" at the 23rd BCS conference on Human Computer Interaction (HCI 2009). Cambridge, UK, September, 2009.

Designing ubiquitous computing applications not only re- quires technical knowledge but also creativity. New ways of seamless interaction with computers and new applications domains that target real user needs have to be found. That demands collaboration between several disciplines such as product and interaction designers as well as software and hardware engineers. To let them collectively contribute to a creative idea new tools have to be elaborated that support the creative phases and serve as a framework for require- ments that need to be considered in the ubiquitous com- puting domain. We want to present several attributes and requirements for such a tool.
