N2 - Using the value focused thinking(VFT) approach, twenty two in-depth interviews were conducted eliciting the interviewees' underlying values in using ubiquitous computing technologies. Nineteen values/objectives were successfully elicited: five fundamental objectives that users fundamentally value in ubiquitous computing and fourteen means and objectives leading to these fundamental objectives. The findings suggest that research frameworks currently cited in ubiquitous computing literature may largely fit with users' value structure while current technological developments are focused more on the supply side perspective. Technological development may need some course corrections linking towards the demand side perspective of ubiquitous computing technologies. A means-end network of value objectives in ubiquitous computing is presented at the end. This value network may be useful as a guideline for technological development and provide a basis for appropriate business service model development for ubiquitous computing.
