Report on the workshop on analytical models

ABSTRACT

Analytical models are extremely useful and important tools for design engineering in many fields. They provide engineers with performance predictions for a specified design, and they also can assist in design improvements by identifying the sources of performance deficiencies.Currently analytical models are not commonly used for design engineering in HCI. However, university research has produced some promising results, and has led to exploratory development projects in several major corporations.
