“…HCI activities in Poland presently seems to suffer from a narrow and isolated focus of works conducted by small research groups, located mainly at universities and in software companies or consulting groups (as it was also observed in Germany, Gorny and Oberquelle 1999). Quite a strong background in ergonomics and psychology is not enough to provide research on the use of computers, which are a primary object of interest in the contemporary user environment.…”

For other titles published in this series, go to http://www.springer.com/series/6033 Human-Computer Interaction is a multidisciplinary field focused on human aspects of the development of computer technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive -not just in developed countries, but worldwide -the need to take a humancentered approach in the design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30 years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and behavioral sciences have worked to identify theory and practice that influences the direction of these technologies, and this diverse work makes up the field of human-computer interaction. Broadly speaking it includes the study of what technology might be able to do for people and how people might interact with the technology. In this series we present work which advances the science and technology of developing systems which are both effective and satisfying for people in a wide variety of contexts. The human-computer interaction series will focus on theoretical perspectives (such as formal approaches drawn from a variety of behavioral sciences), practical approaches (such as the techniques for effectively integrating user needs in system development), and social issues (such as the determinants of utility, usability and acceptability).
