Landscaping user centered related methods applied in the context of living labs

This paper presents a landscape study comparing user-centered methods reported in Living Lab related publication stream and Living Lab practices. This study was carried out in the context of a continuous survey on Living Labs. A set of keywords was predefined in order to get comparable concepts from both the Living Labs survey and published papers related to Living Lab. On the one hand, this survey provided a set of data representing the current practices. On the other hand, a Google-scholar search, using the same set of keywords, allowed collecting the volume of Living Labs related papers that were published up to February 2015. The main objective of this study resides in the comparison between identified methods in the publication and actual practices reported from a set of surveyed Living Labs. It also provides an opportunity to assess the trends in terms of methods reported in the publication and practices that were reported in different landscape studies. The actual findings highlight a huge gap between the two landscape maps, especially concerning the usability analysis.
