HSI 2009

Computers are today integrant parts of our life, embedded in more and more devices, objects, and systems. So the interactions between Human and Computers has evolved toward interactions between Human and Systems including the larger range of ubiquitous, pervasive computing. Human Systems Interaction 2009 aims to represent a meeting point for different communities, where to share experience and knowledge related to the interaction of human beings with such a broader range of systems.
