Traditionally, this information has been kept in a paper record, and paper-based patient records have evolved throughout this century to a highly successful format with critical information and processes encoded in the structure of the paper records. However, paper-based records have had some severe limitations, for instance: bulkiness, time delay in obtaining records, and the necessity of redundantly entering many types of information. As one workshop participant noted, \"it's hard to support clinical decision-making with this big pile of paper\".","PeriodicalId":7397,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGCHI Bull.","volume":"91 1","pages":"56-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77029872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For me, it's been a learning experience about kids, what they can do with technology, and what that can mean to the C H I conference experience. Back in 1994, I could not have imagined that proposing some changes to the C H I conference's traditional childC ~ care program would lead to changes in the C H I • ~ conference itself. Today it's not terribly surprising that children of C H I conference attendees use technology to create the C H [ conference web site and daily conference newsletter. It has come to be expected that at the C H I conference these children will test conference attendees alpha and beta technologies. And it's become something of a tradition for these same children to support the conference's Opening and Closing Plenary experiences with videos, parades, and more.","PeriodicalId":7397,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGCHI Bull.","volume":"67 1","pages":"6-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74111490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two case studies provide detailed descriptions of experimental methodologies for comparison of one pointing device against a baseline device, and for detailed analysis of the factors limiting human performance of a single device.","PeriodicalId":7397,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGCHI Bull.","volume":"26 1","pages":"79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84358129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DC is a closed session that provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop with established researchers in a group setting. The participants receive feedback on current research and guidance for future research directions. The consortium also aims toward the development of a supportive community of scholars while contributing to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and participation in conference events. Consortium participants arc invited based on their dissertation proposals, and reflect the wide range of disciplines within HCI research. The selection of participants is based primarily on the quality of their dissertation proposal (as described in their submission to the DC) and on the extent to which the dissertation represents the study of an HCI issue. Consideration is also given to representing students at different stages of the dissertation process, with a preference for students who have just had their proposal approved.","PeriodicalId":7397,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGCHI Bull.","volume":"54 1","pages":"60-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89583258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The background to this research is the assumption that good communication underpins collaborative design. Since neither users nor designers have unlimited time to devote to collaborative design, effective representations of, for example, users' work or design solutions, are necessary. The aim of the project is to investigate different forms of representation for communication between users and designers with the goal of improving the efficiency and quality of interactive work systems. The workshop was organised by the authors in order to investigate how existing research might contribute to research on this project, and also to enable discussion of research issues arising from an international audience active in the field of investigating representations employed in interactive software development (ISD).","PeriodicalId":7397,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGCHI Bull.","volume":"24 1","pages":"85-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74714397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of these problems are linked to technological limitations of the “web media.” A well-known limitation is, for example, that limited layout control and transmission rate forces designers to use fewer and smaller pictures and to lay them out differently than they would, say, when designing paper catalogs. Another limitation concerns user-system interaction: without integration of Java or Dynamic HTML elements, it is difftcult to give appropriate support to users who want to perform advanced shopping tasks such as product comparison or product customization. A third problem results from the limited means to communicate important new properties of the electronic media such as the danger involved in performing shopping transactions. For many users the current model of explicit security notifications is confusing as they are left with a vague perception of potential threats. These are only three of the more obvious problems designers face today when designing Internet shops to be attractive, supportive, and easy to use.","PeriodicalId":7397,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGCHI Bull.","volume":"32 1","pages":"48-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83586372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
