The HCI seminar continues winter quarter: every week we'll discuss a research paper selected from the current research literature, such as papers from conferences such as ACM CHI, UIST, and the Participatory Design Conference, and journals such as ACM Transactions on Computer Human Interaction, the Human Computer Interaction journal, and others.
Since we are reading current rather than classic HCI papers, not everyone will always have the relevant background for a given paper - hopefully the presenter and other seminar participants can help fill things in however. For students who do want a more thorough grounding in HCI, including classic papers, take CSE 510, "Advanced Topics in HCI," which will be offered in Spring 2005.
The seminar is variable credit, 1-3 credits. Students taking the seminar for 1 credit are expected to attend each week, read the papers in advance, and participate actively in the discussion. Students taking the seminar for 3 credits are also expected to organize a presentation. While the seminar is in CSE, graduate students with a strong interest in HCI and an appropriate background from other departments are very welcome. HCI is inherently interdisciplinary, and this mix of disciplines is essential. Interested students from other departments: please contact Alan Borning if you want to register.
An email list for the seminar has been set up. To subscribe, go to http://mailman.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/cse590h. (We didn't clear out the list from autumn quarter, so if you added yourself to the list then you should still be signed up for winter.)
