Synopses & Reviews
Selected papers presented by leading professionals at a mid-year conference of the American Society for Information Science, along with additional commentary by guest editors comprise this volume, which condenses a broad range of information into a cohesive overview of the state of the art of interface design. The current status of human-computer interaction is examined, and major trends identified in an effort to project the future significance of the establishment and implementation of standards for design and the reevaluation of information science theories. Each chapter focuses on some aspect of the factors which impact user interface design and presents data which provides the groundwork for future developments in the field.
