St Peter's Campus

HCI 2000 will cover all main areas of HCI research and practice, but will
focus on usability engineering for e-business. While HCI approaches have
penetrated many application areas, bringing clear benefits over the last
decade, electronic business will nail down usability as an essential design
goal. The HCI community will be expected to respond with ever-improved
methods, techniques and design approaches that ensure that usability is
taken seriously from conception through design and development to
installation and operation.
Register early to take advantage of the excellent Tutorials for continuing
professional development. There is a range of topics from "Cognitive
Factors in Design" led by Tom Hewett, (Drexel University) to "Designing
Usable Mobile Services" led by Anne Kaikkonen (Nokia) and "Making World Wide
Web interfaces usable for elderly and/or visually impaired people" led by
Mary Zajicek (Oxford Brookes) to mention but a few.
There are also 27 accepted papers from a total of 7 different countries,
making this a thoroughly international conference. The programme is
currently being completed with 18 short papers, 5 posters, 4 organisational
overviews, 2 panels and 2 sessions of Industry Day papers. A full list is
