Track: Collaboration Systems and Technology
Minitrack: Human Computer Interaction

The aim of this mini-track is to provide a forum for HCI researchers to exchange a broad and comprehensive range of issues related to the design, development, and assessment of human-computer interaction. Appropriate papers for the HCI mini-track will draw on the broadest range of research methodologies including developmental, conceptualization, theorization, case study, hermeneutic, action research, experimentation, survey, simulation, and so on. Likewise, a broad range of reference disciplines will be appropriate for participation in the HCI mini-track, including: computer science, information systems, consumer behavior, psychology, organizational sciences, and so on. Given the fast pace of change within this HCI area - new applications, new types of users, new types of devices, and so on - papers that help to bridge academic research and industry practice are welcome.

Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:
* The behavioral, cognitive, and motivational aspects of human/computer interaction
* User task analysis and modeling
* The analysis, design, development, evaluation, and use of information systems
* Guidelines and standards for interface design
* User interface design and evaluation of the Web for B2B, B2C, C2C E-Commerce; group collaboration; and negotiation and auction
* Design and evaluation issues for small screen devices and M-Commerce
* Interface issues in the development of other new interaction technologies
* Information system usability engineering
* The impact of interfaces/information technology on attitudes, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity
* Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units
* Issues related to the elderly, the young and special needs populations
* Issues in teaching HCI courses
* Other human factors issues related to HCI
* Interface design for group and other collaborative environments
* User / Developer experiences with particular interfaces, design environments, or devices
