Special Issue on Human Work Interaction Design

IFIP 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) is a working group, which aims to establish relationships between empirical work-domain studies and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) design. Our concern is to extend the long tradition of HCI to study the connections between interaction design and the work context, in the light of the fact that the world that we work in has become much more digital...

Special Issue on Human Detection and Recognition

W ITH A very security-conscious society, biomet-rics-based authentication and identification have become one of the key technologies for many important applications. It is generally believed that biometrics can provide the necessary accuracy and reliability for applications, such as access control. Biometrics research and technology continue to mature rapidly, driven by pressing industrial and ...

Special Issue on Modeling Human Activities

Understanding and modeling human activities is essential for designing and evaluating interactive systems. Models of tasks and activities help to make explicit the assumptions that not only influence the shaping of the system under design, but also guide the overall development process. Task modeling is one of the oldest techniques in Human-Computer Interaction (Diaper & Stanton, 2003). It is a...
