Zaphiris P., Ang C.S. (eds.) Human Computer Interaction. Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications

IGI Global, 2009, -2824 p.The use of, engagement with, and study of technology has become the basis of modern life. As such, the field of human-computer interaction has emerged as an essential, multidisciplinary field that seeks to determine how humans interact with different interfaces and how these interfaces can be better designed, evaluated, and implemented to minimize barriers between human thought and computer behavior. As we continue to develop new and innovative technologies, we must also strive to more fully understand how these technologies impact humanity, both on a societal and individual level, and to remain aware of the latest in human-computer interaction research and exploration.
In recent years, the areas of study related to the interaction between people and technology have become innumerable. As a result, researchers, practitioners, and educators have devised a variety of techniques and methodologies to develop, deliver, and, at the same time, evaluate the effectiveness of the interfaces implemented and used in modern society. The explosion of methodologies in the field has created an abundance of new, state-of-the-art literature related to all aspects of this expanding discipline. This body of work allows researchers to learn about the fundamental theories, latest discoveries, and forthcoming trends in the field of human-computer interaction.
Constant technological and theoretical innovation challenges researchers to remain informed of and continue to develop and deliver methodologies and techniques utilizing the discipline’s latest advancements. In order to provide the most comprehensive, in-depth, and current coverage of all related topics and their applications, as well as to offer a single reference source on all conceptual, methodological, technical, and managerial issues in human-computer interaction, Information Science Reference is pleased to offer a four-volume reference collection on this rapidly growing discipline. This collection aims to empower researchers, practitioners, and students by facilitating their comprehensive understanding of the most critical areas within this field of study.Section I Fundamental Concepts and Theories.
