3. Problem and Objective
• Highly Contextualized definition
– Previous Studies:
• Emphasis on central role of users
• Definition gap with the origin and current
implementations
• Debatable unique attributes as a method
• Providing a grounded definition.

4. Methodology
• Qualitative Research (Strauss and Corbin)
– Grounded Theory Approach
– Published Online Articles
– Interviews of 8 Living Labs
• Keyword search for year 2005-2011 = 268 articles
• Scholarly database
– 64 Living Labs (107) ACM, EBSCO, Google scholar,
IEEE Digital Explore Library, Mendeley, Piccarta, Sage
Journals, Science Direct, Springerlink, Taylor and
Francis and Web of Knowledge

5. Etymology
• “Living Laboratory” discussing the different elements and conditions in the
human body as an environment for experiments, Knight (1749)
• “Living Lab” in the context of an instrumented environment for observing the
users, Dr. Ernst Dichter of International Motivational Research (Billboard,1956)
• Living Labs represent a user centric research methodology for sensing,
validating and refining complex solutions in multiple and evolving real life
contexts and also an instrumented real environment much like an in-situ
scientific experiment – most cited definition
• Living Lab “idea of a city or a building as a laboratory where designers have
hypothesis about what people are willing to do and how they react ” - Professor
of Architecture and Media Arts and Sciences at MIT William “Bill” Mitchell

6. Result: Method and “Multi-Aspect”
• Methods, Tools, Principles
• Disciplines: Design, ICT, Scientific, Social Science,
Marketing, Statistics, Management, Behavioral Science,
Patent
• Stakeholders: Individual, Private, Government, University,
NGO
• Interview Respondents: Stated that that Living Lab
innovation is achieved together with users; people, or
society, or by providing an environment.

7. Proposed Definition
• A human-technology interaction innovation entity utilizing
a mix of methods, tools and principles drawn from known
disciplines (design, science, ict, etc.) and set in a real
environment and in a locale/societal scale.
• In addition, Living Lab operates in a “multi-” mode that is
evident by its multi-stakeholder, and multi-discipline, nature
which eventually leads to a multi-method approach, and
often implemented multi-culturally for an internationally
collaborated Living Lab project. The phenomenon is within
the context of innovation and has multiple applications.

8. Conclusion and Outlook
• Innovation Through Pastiche Method
• Comparative Analysis (per Living Lab)
– Methods
– Contextualized Frameworks
• Furthering Methods:
– Electronic idea system, impact and risk assessment,
project management for small fast phased projects,
performance measurement, public accountability and
transparency (financial monitoring)
