IADIS Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction Conference 2008 (IHCI)

I have just received the acceptance of the paper:
Web Environment for Collaborative and Extensible Diagram Design

Paper is proposed to be in the proceedings of IADIS Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction Conference 2008 (IHCI) as "Reflection Paper" . However, I had to renounce to publish it due to personal issues, economical mayorly. I also think that it can be improved a lot, as can be realized reading reviewers comments.

Somme positive comments for the paper are:
  • "The paper has reasonable technical quality, and clear and consistent diagram and use of technical language"
  • "The architecture is based on newly technologies and use well-known patterns"
  • "The subject is relevant: Collaborative web-based tools demand a lot of research and implementation work"
  • "An excellent idea, very promissing but a lack of credibility as regard to the implementation and the evaluation"
  • "Very interesting key issue"
Also, some weak points were remarked by reviewers:
  • "This is more a position paper than the result of implementatory work"
  • "The lack of any sort of formal discussion or results, makes it hard to see the real world value of the model proposed"
  • "Scenarios could be used to improve the explanation, even using hypothetical situations/applications"
  • "There is not a proof of concept"
  • "In addition, the introduction needs to be expanded to include an overview of the literature on collaborative web-based systems and how is the main differences/similarities with respect to other existing tools (e.g. Google docs)"
  • "Unfortunately, there is no evaluation that measures the impact of the system on actual users"
  • "It seems unusual to have a paper written in English with references written in any other language"
  • "You claim as key words psychology and data mining but you don't adress these questions seriously"
  • "Your bibliography could be broadenned"

Muchas gracias compañero, yo también te auguro un gran futuro. Ya sabes que siempre te lo dije.

Gracias también por tu apoyo al blog, que está algo escaso, pero los que me conozcan saben que es por falta total de tiempo.

Espero poder subir en verano algunas cosillas que tengo reservadas en plan resúmenes y tutoriales sobre temas que hemos dado este año en el master...
