This text examines a range of HCI topics while emphasising design methods. It is divided into three clear parts: foundations, design practice and advanced topics.

Human-computer Interaction

Provides an introduction to the use of pattern recognition in HCI and demonstrates its use in the identification of patterns in user behaviour for: user modelling, plan recognition, interface evaluation; the utilization of novel input mechanisms including speech, handwriting and posture; information retrieval; models of cognition; novel classification methods.

Neural Networks and Pattern Recognition in Human-computer Interaction

Emile Fiesler

The Handbook of Neural Computation is a practical, hands-on guide to the design and implementation of neural networks used by scientists and engineers to tackle difficult and/or time-consuming problems. The handbook bridges an information pathway between scientists and engineers in different disciplines who apply neural networks to similar probl

Computer supported work is increasingly being done out of the traditional office environment, for example whilst travelling or at home and there is a growing need to support the cooperative aspects of such work. Remote Cooperation looks at ways of improving the available communications, through the use of packet radio and compression techniques, in order to reduce the imbalance between office-based and mobile workers. It also assesses how the effectiveness of the existing communications infrastructure can be improved, by providing cooperative applications which fit within its limitations. Broadly divided into five sections - social and economic context, application domains, software technology and infrastructure, communications technology and infrastructure, working and learning from home - this volume contains contributions from both the research community and industry.

Remote Cooperation: CSCW Issues for Mobile and Teleworkers

Affect and emotion play an important role in our everyday lives: They are present whatever we do, wherever we are, and wherever we go, without us being aware of them for much of the time. When it comes to interaction, be it with humans, technology, or humans via technology, we suddenly become more aware of emotion, either by seeing the other’s emotional expression, or by not getting an emotional response while anticipating one. Given this, it seems only sensible to explore affect and emotion in human-computer interaction, to investigate the underlying principles, to study the role they play, to develop methods to quantify them, and to finally build applications that make use of them. This is the research field for which, over ten years ago, Rosalind Picard coined the phrase "affective computing". The present book provides an account of the latest work on a variety of aspects related to affect and emotion in human-technology interaction. It covers theoretical issues, user experience and design aspects as well as sensing issues, and reports on a number of affective applications that have been developed in recent years.
