Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field of research focusing on the design of computer technology and, more specifically, the interaction between humans (users) and computers. Nowadays, HCI is still the subject of considerable interest, gaining the attention of both researchers and practitioners.
The emergence of new technological advancements, including Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality Mobile Computing, Virtual/Augmented Reality, and the Internet of Things (IoT), have imposed new requirements with respect to the design of information systems (ISs) on the one hand, as well having introduced significant opportunities for ISs to leverage user experiences, on the other.
This Special Issue is dedicated to disseminating high-quality, original research papers, covering the following topics (though not limited to them):
- Human-computer interaction theory.
- Multimodal interaction.
- Natural language interaction.
- Intelligent user interfaces.
- User-centered design.
- Usability and user experience.
- Cognitive systems.
- Machine learning methods for user interface design and customization.
- Mobile computing.
- Mobile applications design and development.
- Virtual reality.
- Augmented reality.
- Interaction and humans in the Internet of Things.
