Cocoon, un système de recommandation sensible au contexte: analyse de la valeur par une étude qualitative

Abstract

In Thanks to ambient computing, information can be diffused and accessed everywhere, at anytime, on any platform. But how worthwhile is this for citizens? Is their quality of life improved? This article describes the application of the Worth Centered Design (WCD), proposed by G. Cockton, for identifying the worth of a context-aware recommender system, Cocoon. The work presented in this paper concerns the first phase of the WCD framework: analysis of needs. This work has been done through individual interviews. This study allowed us to understand the worth of Cocoon from a user point of view and establish key requirements for design. These outcomes are presented here as well as the protocol of interviews. To end, we discuss advantages and limitations of the Worth Centered Design.
