People and Computers X

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is concerned with every aspect of the relationship between computers and people (individuals, groups, and society). The annual meeting the British Computer Society’s HCI group is recognised as one of the main venues for discussing recent trends and issues. This volume contains refereed papers and reports at the 1995 meeting. A broad range of HCI related topics are covered, including Visualisation, Computer Supported Communication, Task Analysis, Formal Methods, User Support, and Cyberspace. Both research and commercial perspectives are considered, making the book essential for all researchers, designers, and manufacturers who need to keep abreast of developments in HCI.
