HCI is a multidisciplinary field focused on human aspects of the development of computer technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive –
not just in developed countries, but worldwide – the need to take a human-centered
approach in the design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30 years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and
behavioral sciences have worked to identify theory and practice that influences the
direction of these technologies, and this diverse work makes up the field of humancomputer interaction. Broadly speaking it includes the study of what technology
might be able to do for people and how people might interact with the technology.
The HCI series publishes books that advance the science and technology of developing systems which are both effective and satisfying for people in a wide variety of
contexts. Titles focus on theoretical perspectives (such as formal approaches drawn
from a variety of behavioral sciences), practical approaches (such as the techniques
for effectively integrating user needs in system development), and social issues (such
as the determinants of utility, usability and acceptability).
Titles published within the Human–Computer Interaction Series are included in
Thomson Reuters’ Book Citation Index, The DBLP Computer Science Bibliography
and The HCI Bibliography.
