Workshop proceedings

Format for paper presentations: 5-7 minute presentations, with focus on the author's research as related to the workshop topics, followed by 8-10 minutes of discussion. A suggested list of workshop-related goals will be provided before each session and participants are encouraged to structure their questions around these goals. Participants scheduled within the same session are expected to lead the Q&A for the other papers in their session.

Day 1 birds of a feather discussion:

• identify points that can support developing the theoretical goals of the workshop (e.g. where are speech UIs useful? what are the usability guidelines that are applicable to speech UIs for mobile and wearable devices?)
• discussion guides / leading questions will be provided

Day 2 plenary brainstorming goals:

• summarize the points identified during Day 1 birds of a feather discussions
• draft answers to the theoretical framework questions proposed in the workshop abstract (or new ones as emerging from Day 1)
