CALL FOR PAPERS NEW DEADLINE sept. 1st
*************************
How to design and manage products, services and experiences that are to be completed and built upon by users or customers? How can we design for co-designers?
This full day workshop at the Participatory Design Conference 2008 will bring together examples and studies of recent trends in user generated content, open
platforms for exchange of products, ideas and media, end user customization and other open models for innovation.
We invite case studies, methods, stories and critical analysis on this topic to generate a deeper understanding of its relevance to contemporary participatory design. The
discussion will focus on methods, challenges and advantages for intentionally supporting end user innovation through design. The workshop areas of interest includes (but are not limited to):
(i) consumer products; (ii) user generated content and media; (iii) social innovation in services, practices and processes.
