From 18.01.07 to 23.02.07, the Dagstuhl Seminar 07081 EndUser Software Engineering was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and i...

Traditionally, the HCI design is greatly influenced by active knowledge harnessed during requirement elicitations. However, as the world of ICT moves towards user-centric computing with a need for evolving features, designers face challenges from heterogeneous users with complex needs, accessing technology with myriads of communication mediums. In response, this paper explores peoples’ inherent...

In this paper, we describe an industrial experience with the creation of a new product for collaboratively navigating and reviewing 3D engineering models, applied to the oil industry. Together with professional oil industry engineers from a large oil company, a team of HCI researchers performed task analysis and storyboards, designed, implemented and qualitatively evaluated a prototype that com...

The objectives of the tutorial are to provide kknowledge of basic ethical, psychological and organizational theories that are relevant to consider ethical aspects during design and use of IT systems; knowledge and skills about handling and solving ethical problems in connection with design and use of ITsystems; and skills in using questionnaires, surveys, interviews and the like in connection w...

This paper surveys the use of inferential statistics over the last two BCS HCI conferences and the last year (2006) of two leading HCI journals. Of the 80 papers covered, 41 used some form of inferential statistics. However, all but one had some form of problem of reporting or analysis that undermined the value or the validity of the statistical testing and hence the research findings. This pap...

Human Computer Interaction(HCI) or Human Factors studies in MIS are concerned with the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks, especially in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. This article describes the existence and importance of HCI research in the MIS discipline, its historical development, some of its characteristics, publication opportuniti...

This position paper for the CHI 2003 patterns workshop outlines a few recent thoughts on the value of pattern languages for HCI as a bridge between our discipline and the field of architecture. The connection between architecture and HCI has been made repeatedly in the past, and the beginning adoption of the patterns concept in HCI may be an example of the closeness of these two fields. This su...

Almost half of software in systems being developed today and thirty-seven to fifty percent of efforts throughout the software life cycle are related to the system’s user interface. For this reason issues and methods from the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) affect the overall process of software engineering (SE) tremendously. Yet despite strong motivation amongst organizations to pract...

User-Centered Design (UCD), Usability Engineering (UE) and Participatory Design (PD) are the common HumanComputer Interaction (HCI) approaches that are practiced in the software development process, focusing towards issues and matters concerning user involvement. It overlooks the organizational perspective of HCI integration within the software development organization. The Management Informati...
