IFIP Technical Committee on
Human Computer Interaction

Welcome to the home page for IFIP Technical Committee No 13 on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

IFIP Technical Comittee No 13 is focused on encouraging the development towards a science and technology of human-computer interaction, through pursuit of the following aims:

  • to encourage empirical research (using valid and reliable methodology, including studies of the methods themselves where necessary);
  • to promote the use of knowledge and methods from the human sciences in both design and evaluation of computer systems;
  • to promote better understanding of the relation between formal design methods and system usability and acceptance;
  • to develop guidelines, models and methods by which designers may be able to provide better human-oriented computer systems;
  • to co-operate with other groups, inside and outside of IFIP, so as to promote user-orientation and ‘humanization’ in system design.
