Summary:

Due in part to the reliance on good web design, as well as the design of usable information appliances, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the fastest-growing and most visible part of computer science. However, due to the relative inaccessibility of advanced-level materials covering HCI's multidisciplinary foundations, there are very few intrinsic courses on HCI science and theory offered anywhere.

This book fills a significant void. In fifteen chapters by leading HCI researchers, it presents a thorough pedogological survey of the science of HCI. Each chapter examines a different approach, describing its roots, motivation, and type of HCI problems it typically addresses. Each approach is then compared with its nearest neighbors, illustrated in a paradigmatic application, and analyzed in terms of its future.
