General Description

The aim of this mini-track is to provide a forum for HCI researchers to exchange a broad and comprehensive range of issues related to the design, development, and assessment of human-computer interaction. Appropriate papers for the HCI mini-track will draw on the broadest range of research methodologies including developmental, conceptualization, theorization, case study, hermeneutic, action research, experimentation, survey, simulation, and so on. Likewise, a broad range of reference disciplines will be appropriate for participation in the HCI mini-track, including: computer science, information systems, consumer behavior, psychology, organizational sciences, and so on. Given the fast pace of change within this HCI area – new applications, new types of users, new types of devices, and so on – papers that help to bridge academic research and industry practice are welcome. Given the diverse goals of this mini-track, there are a plethora of appropriate topics for papers; possible topics include, but are not limited to:

• The behavioral, cognitive, and motivational aspects of human/computer interaction
  

• User task analysis and modeling
  

• The analysis, design, development, evaluation, and use of information systems
  

• Guidelines and standards for interface design
  

• User interface design and evaluation of the Web for:
  

  • B2B, B2C, C2C E-Commerce
    

  • Group collaboration
    

  • Negotiation and auction
    

• Design and evaluation issues for small screen devices and M-Commerce
  

• Interface issues in the development of other new interaction technologies
  

• Information system usability engineering

• The impact of interfaces/information technology on attitudes, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity
  

• Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units

• Issues related to the elderly, the young, and special needs populations
  

• Issues in teaching HCI courses
  

• Other human factors issues related to HCI
  

• Interface design for group and other collaborative environments
  

• User/Developer experiences with particular interfaces, design environments, or devices
