The many faces of consistency in cross-platform design

Published: 21 April 2006 Publication History

Abstract

This workshop addresses the role consistency plays in the design of applications and services that span several different computing devices. We will discuss the benefits and limitations of consistency, and methods to support the design and evaluation of consistent multi-device applications.
