The past decade has seen the growth and diffusion of information technology exceeding most predictions, even those of many optimistic researchers. At the same time, there has also been a substantial increase in concern for the human aspects of computing and information technology systems. Brought together in this book are 150 papers presenting, discussing and surveying recent research into Human-Computer Interaction. Included are a number of case studies describing a wide range of applications and projects.

The latest volume in the "Contemporary Ergonomics" series which form a record of the Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the Ergonomics Society, held in Scotland in April 1993. The refereed contributions covers the spectrum of current experience and practice in ergonomics. A special emphasis of the 1993 volume is the application of ergonomics in the industry context of energy and process control.; A special emphasis of the 1993 volume is the application of ergonomics in the industrial context of energy and process control.; This text is intended for ergonomists, those involved with the teaching of ergonomics and post- graduate students of ergonomics and industry. It should also be useful for industrial designers, production engineers and health and safety officials.

The series of IFAC Symposia on Analysis, Design and Evaluation of Man-Machine Systems provides the ideal forum for leading researchers and practitioners who work in the field to discuss and evaluate the latest research and developments. This publication contains the papers presented at the 6th IFAC Symposium in the series which was held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

This volume presents the thoroughly revised proceedings of the ICSE '94 Workshop on Joint Research Issues in Software Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction, held in Sorrento, Italy in May 1994. In harmony with the main objectives of the Workshop, this book essentially contributes to establishing a sound common platform for exchange and cooperation among researchers and design professionals from the SE and HCI communities. The book includes survey papers by leading experts as well as focused submitted papers. Among the topics covered are design, processes, user interface technology and SE environments, platform independence, prototyping, interactive behaviour, CSCW, and others.

This volume contains selected papers from the symposium "New Results and NewTrends in Computer Science" held in Graz, Austria, June 20-21, 1991. The symposium was organized to give a wide-ranging overview of new work in the field on the occasion of the fiftieth birthday of the editor of the volume. Topics covered include: information on neural nets, ideas on a new paradigm for informatics, hypermedia systems and applications, axioms for concurrent processes, techniques for image generation and compression, the role of data visualization, object-oriented programming andgraphics, algorithms for layout compaction, new methods in database systems, the future of data networks, object-oriented artificial intelligence, problems in data structures and sorting, aspects of user interfaces, a theory of structures, applications of cryptography, evaluation of Ada, results in algorithmic geometry, remarks on the history of computers, and a novel interpretation of machine learning. In total, the 26 high-level contributions authored by prominent experts from all over the world give an up-to-date survey of almost all subfields of computer science. The book is written in a style which is easy to follow, and it is of interest for any computer scientist, be it in research, teaching or practice.
