Testing applications for mobile phones is difficult, time-consuming, and hard to do effectively.

Managing data in a mobile computing environment invariably involves caching or replication.

The confluence of decades of computer science and computer engineering research in multimodal interaction (e.

This lecture provides an introduction to the problem of managing the energy demand of mobile devices.

This book introduces Participatory Design to researchers and students in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

Peer-to-peer exchange is a type of sharing that involves the transfer of valued resources, such as goods and services, among members of a local community and/or between parties who have not met before the exchange encounter.

This book is an account of how I addressed the need for a smartphone app that would allow someone with Type 1 diabetes to self-manage their condition.

Information systems are part and parcel of organizations.

Data-driven personas are a significant advancement in the fields of human-centered informatics and human-computer interaction.

This book introduces the concept of worth for design teams, relates it to experiences and outcomes, and describes how to focus on worth when researching and expressing design opportunities for generous worth.

Design now has many meanings.

Many people find statistics confusing, and perhaps even more confusing given recent publicity about problems with traditional p-values and alternative statistical techniques including confidence intervals and Bayesian statistics.

It is all too common for products, such as consumer appliances, information systems, mobile apps, and websites, to cause trouble and frustration.

With spatial technologies ranging from mapping software to the use of location-based services, spatial knowledge is often acquired and communicated through geographic information technologies.

Museums have been a domain of study and design intervention for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for several decades.

The huge success of personal computing technologies has brought astonishing benefits to individuals, families, communities, businesses, and government, transforming human life, largely for the better.

Social media platforms are the latest manifestation in a series of sociotechnical innovations designed to enhance civic engagement, political participation, and global activism.

What can Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) learn from art?

A representation is a thing that can be interpreted as providing information about something: a map, or a graph, for example.

Interactive technology is increasingly integrated with physical objects that do not have a traditional keyboard and mouse style of interaction, and many do not even have a display.

This is the first comprehensive history of human-computer interaction (HCI).

Computing education is in enormous demand.

Although it has influenced the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) since its origins, humanistic HCI has come into its own since the early 2000s.

During the last decade, cell phones with multimodal interfaces based on combined new media have become the dominant computer interface worldwide.

In our digital age we can communicate, access, create, and share an abundance of information effortlessly, rapidly, and nearly ubiquitously.

People rely on implicit interaction in their everyday interactions with one another to exchange queries, offers, responses, and feedback without explicit communication.

Contextual Design is a user-centered design process that uses in-depth field research to drive innovative design.

This book is about how people (we refer to them as practitioners) can help guide participants in creating representations of issues or ideas, such as collaborative diagrams, especially in the context of Participatory Design (PD).

This book presents a contextual approach to designing contemporary interactive mobile computer systems as integral parts of ubiquitous computing environments.

The phrase "e;in-the-wild"e; is becoming popular again in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), describing approaches to HCI research and accounts of user experience phenomena that differ from those derived from other lab-based methods.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) addresses problems of interaction design: understanding user needs to inform design, delivering novel designs that meet user needs, and evaluating new and existing designs to determine their success in meeting user needs.

This book focuses on design of work from the human-factors (HF) perspective.

This book explores the possibility for an anthropology of services and outlines a practice approach to designing services.

In the everyday world, much of what we do as social beings is dictated by how we perceive and manage our interpersonal space.

Spaces of Interaction, Places for Experience is a book about Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), interaction design (ID) and user experience (UX) in the age of ubiquitous computing.

Increasingly, teams are working together when they are not in the same location, even though there are many challenges to doing so successfully.

Large surface computing devices (wall-mounted or tabletop) with touch interfaces and their application to collaborative data analysis, an increasingly important and prevalent activity, is the primary topic of this book.
