Scope and Topics
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. The 1st IFIP Human-Computer Interaction 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.
Topics
The symposium will include, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Methodologies for user-centred system design
- Human-Work Interaction Design
- User interface engineering
- Accessibility and disability
- Human error, safety and system development
- Education in HCI
- HCI in Ubiquitous Environments
- Cultural differences in HCI
- Ambient intelligent environments
- Human-computer dialogue system
