HCIS 2008 is the first Human-Computer Interaction Symposium of IFIP TC 13
The Symposium attempts to bring
the various fields together and will highlight the research and industrial
importance of the Human-Computer Interaction area and its most recent
breakthroughs on current applications.
This symposium will be a single track, with a good quality set of presentations
and discussions of innovative concepts, advanced technology and applications.
The domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary,
active and focal area of both research and industrial application.
As the influence and use of computing capability grows, so does the recognition
that computing systems will be required to conform to many other criteria than simply
those of computing performance. The criteria of usability, acceptability,
user satisfaction, accessibility and suitability for user and organisational
needs are some of those which are particularly the province of experts in Human-Computer Interaction.
