Abstract
Ubiquitous applications are complex systems, and need to be evaluated with respect to their social compatibilitysocial compatibilityin an encompassing and interdisciplinary approach. Interdisciplinary work bears the challenge of maintaining the strengths and specialities of each discipline while yielding consistent results at the same time. Also, the evaluation should be well-matched with other activities in the process of development. The presented system evaluation is designed to fulfill these goals as part of the VENUS Development MethodVENUS Development Method. The system evaluation brings a development circle to a conclusion, and generates consistent results that facilitate decisions for next steps. The evaluation also yields suggestions for possible, further improvements. System evaluation unites four disciplines: usability engineeringusability engineering, trust engineeringtrust engineering, legal compatible technology designlegal compatible technology design, and security analysissecurity analysis. This chapter describes the starting points of each discipline, and derives an interdisciplinaryinterdisciplinaryapproach which encompasses a concerted operating plan as well as contentual interdisciplinary cooperation. The system evaluation provides joint solutions for empirical work, but also leaves room for disciplinary analyses.
