With increased understanding of cognitive informatics and the advance of computer technologies, it is becoming clear that human-computer interaction (HCI) is an interaction between two kinds of intelligences, i.e., natural intelligence and artificial intelligence. This paper attempts to clarify interaction-related terminologies through step-by-step definitions, and discusses the nature of HCI, ...

There is a growing interest of aesthetics issues in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in the recent days. In this article we present our literature review where we investigate where and how aesthetics has been addressed by the HCI researchers. Our objective is to find out the sectors in HCI where aesthetics has a role to play. Aesthetics in HCI can be the common interest that involves both art a...

We propose a new metaheuristic called heuristic concentration-integer (HCI). This metaheuristic is a modified version of the heuristic concentration (HC), oriented to find good solutions for a class of integer programming problems, composed by problems in which p elements must be selected from a larger set, and each element can be selected more than once. These problems are common in location a...

Implementation of machine learning (ML) in human-computer interaction (HCI) work is not trivial. This article reports on a survey of 112 professionals and academicians specializing in HCI, who were asked to state level of ML use in HCI work. Responses were captured via a structured questionnaire. Analysis showed that about one-third of those who participated in the survey had used ML in conjunc...

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems. Typically, HCI researchers do not primarily study existing technologies, styles of interaction, or interface solutions. On the contrary, one of the core activities in contemporary HCI is to design new technologies—prototypes—that act as vehicles through ...

Human computer interaction (HC!) is a subject which software developers can ill afford to ignore, yet there is little evidence that software engineers HCl seriously. The paper sets out to describe the software engineering and HCI issues which have to be addressed, in a comparative framework of the development life cycle. From this the necessary conceptual models produced by specification method...

This chapter starts with an introduction illuminating the theoretical background necessary for taking culture into account in HCI design. Definitions of concepts used are provided followed by a historical overview on taking culture into account in HCI design. Subsequently, a glimpse of the current state of research in culture-centered HCI design is derived from secondary literature providing th...
