Synopses & Reviews
This book comprises a collection of chapters concerning novel research on Human-Computer Interaction. Chapters correspond to high-quality selected papers from Interaccion 2007, the 8th annual conference on Human-Computer Interaction held in Zaragoza, Spain, as part of the II CEDI; the second edition of the Spanish Conference on Informatics, the biggest and most important in Spain. This book is particularly aimed at researchers, advanced HCI students and practitioners. It includes promising works that range from cutting edge paradigms such as Semantic Web Interfaces, Natural Language Processing and Mobile Interaction to new trends and interface-engineering techniques such as User-Centred Design, Usability, Accessibility, Development Methodologies and Emotional User Interfaces. It also provides a specialized learning reference for advanced lectures, involving topics such as Human Factors, Collaborative User Interfaces and Model-based User Interface Design.
Review
From the reviews: "Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a hot topic today that concerns both researchers and practitioners. This book presents the latest trends in research on various interaction paradigms. It comprises a foreword, 15 selected papers from Interacción 2008--the main conference of the HCI community in Spain, and in index. ... I recommend the book to researchers in HCI, as well as master's and doctoral students who are studying HCI-related topics." (M. Bielikova, ACM Computing Reviews, August, 2009)
Synopsis
This book comprises a variety of breakthroughs and recent advances on Human Computer Interaction (HCI) intended for both researchers and practitioners. Topics addressed here can be of interest for those people searching for last trends involving such a growing discipline. Important issues concerning this book includes cutti- edge topics such as Semantic Web Interfaces, Natural Language Processing and - bile Interaction, as well as new methodological trends such as Interface-Engineering techniques, User-Centred Design, Usability, Accessibility, Development Meth- ologiesandEmotionalUserInterfaces. Theideabehindthisbookistobringtogether relevant and novel research on diverse interaction paradigms. New trends are gu- anteedaccordingtothedemandingclaimsofbothHCIresearchersandpractitioners, which encourage the explicit arrangement of new industrial and technological topics such as the previously cited Interfaces for the Semantic Web, and Mobile Interfaces, but also Multimodal Interaction, Collaborative Interfaces, End-User Development, Usability and User Interface Engineering. Chapters included in this book comprise a selection of top high-quality papers from Interaccion 2007, which is the most important HCI conference sponsored by AIPO (the Spanish HCI Association). Papers were selected from a ranking - tained through double-blind peer review and later meta-review processes, cons- ering the best evaluated paper from both the review and presentation session. Such a paper selection constitutes only 33% of the papers published in the conference proceedings. We would like to thank the reviewers for their effort in revising the chapters included in this publication, namely Silvia T. Acuna, Sandra Baldasarri, Crescencio Bravo, Cesar A."
