Computers have evolved little over the past few decades. While their complexity, speed, and power have steadily expanded at an impressive pace, it is our interaction with these machines that lags desperately behind. This group will undertake a dialogue aimed at understanding and examining fundamental issues in the design of present and future human computer interactions. The format of the meetings will be a related collection of selected readings (2-3 papers and/or book chapters) that will be discussed and evaluated each week. The participants will grapple with current topics and be flexible and open to new ideas within the research field. Several topics will draw directly from work presented at the Human Centered Computing Seminar (HCC) and thus topics are subject to change. Other topics will be chosen collectively by the group and its coordinators. The success of this series depends on drawing from a diversity of backgrounds. Individuals from all areas of interest, particularly those with non-technical backgrounds, are encouraged to attend.
