User Centricity in Electronic and Mobile Business

UC-EMoBus 2017


Computer Networks & Wireless Communication



About the conference
User-centered design is one of the key success factors for innovative electronic and mobile business solutions such as e-commerce websites and mobile apps. The special track UC EMoBus welcomes authors to submit original scientific work and practical insights on state-of-the-art methods and the impact of an early user involvement in the development of new e- and m-business products and services. Important areas for research are methods, tools and instruments of user research, feedback analysis and prototyping within an iterative and user centric development approach.
The conference is set up as a special track of CENTRIC 2017, The Tenth International Conference on Advances in Human-oriented and Personalized Mechanisms, Technologies, and Services (http://www.iaria.org/conferences2017/CENTRIC17.html).
