HCI is a wide, varied, and complex field that covers a broad spectrum of research. We therefore believe that there is no simple answer to the question ‘what to study in HCI?’ To shed some light on it, however, we reflect on this question with the aid of data from past HCI conferences, present meta-analyses reports, and possible future research priorities. In our discussion, we argue that the cu...

This article presents a multifaceted case for the inclusion of the important Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) subject matter at both the graduate and undergraduate levels of the Association of Information Systems (AIS) model curricula. Based on the presentations and discussions during a panel at the 2003 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), we first present the rationale for inco...

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is a discipline dealing with the study, planning, and design of interactions between humans and computers. The prevalent use of digital devices is increasing the need for research and education on HCI. Paying a close attention to HCI is important as poorly designed user interfaces can lead to unexpected problems. This work is focused on a new education method ge...

With interest in studying Computer Science having dropped worldwide in recent years, the inclusive approach to the subject of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has strong potential to make a difference. The cs4fn outreach campaign has drawn on this, and is based on core messages with links to HCI themes. cs4fn consists of a free schools magazine, a website and live activities. We present researc...

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a challenging discipline that is currently concerned with the design, implementation and evaluation of interactive systems for human use, as well as the study of major phenomena surrounding them. Indeed, interdisciplinary communities formed by scientists, university teachers and students, people coming from the industry and customers related to HCI are emergi...

Methodology, theory, and practice in the ®eld of Human±Computer Interaction (HCI) all share the goal of producing interactive software that can be used eciently, e€ectively, safely, and with satisfaction. HCI is cross-disciplinary in its conduct and multidisciplinary in its roots. The central concept of HCI is usability, ease of use plus usefulness. Achieving good usability requires attention ...

User analysis is a crucial aspect of user-centered systems design, yet Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has yet to formulate reliable and valid characterizations of users beyond gross distinctions based on task and experience. Individual differences research from mainstream psychology has identified a stable set of characteristics that would appear to offer potential application in the HCI aren...

I study the impact of industrial policy on development by considering a canonical intervention. Following political crisis, South Korea dramatically altered its strategy with sector-specific policy: Heavy and Chemical Industry (HCI) drive, 1973-1979. With newly assembled data, use sharp introduction withdrawal policies to impacts policy---during after intervention period. show (1) HCI promoted ...

48 AI MAGAZINE AI and human-computer interaction (HCI) are converging. “Usable AI” conference events in 2008 and 2009 preceded this special issue, and ACM will launch a widely-supported Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems. AI techniques are in the toolset of more and more HCI researchers, and applications of machine learning are increasingly visible in the HCI literature. Other matu...
