Abstract

We present a methodological framework aiming at the support of HCI practitioners and researchers in selecting and applying the most appropriate combination of HCI methods for particular problems. We highlight the need for a clear and effective overview of methods and provide further discussion on possible extensions that can support recent trends and needs, such as the focus on specific application domains.
