The work group Human Computer Interaction & Usability Engineering (HCI&UE) of the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) serves as a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, research and development. While human computer interaction brings together psychologists and computer scientists, usability engineering is a discipline within software engineering. It is essential that psychology research must be incorporated into software engineering at a systemic level. The aspect of integration of human factors into informatics is especially important, since it is here that innovations take place, systems are...

The Workgroup Human Computer Interaction & Usability Engineering (HCI&UE) of the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) serves as a platform for interdisciplinary - change, research and development. While human computer interaction (HCI) tra- tionally brings together psychologists and computer scientists, usability engineering (UE) is a software engineering discipline and ensures the appropriate implementation of applications. Our 2008 topic was Human Computer Interaction for Education and Work (HCI4EDU), culminating in the 4th annual Usability Symposium USAB 2008 held during November 20 21, 2008 in...

The Workgroup Human-Computer Interaction & Usability Engineering (Arbeitskreis HCI&UE) of the Austrian Computer Society (Osterreichische Computer Gesellschaft, OCG) has been serving as a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, research and development since February 2005. While human-computer interaction (HCI) tra- tionally brings psychologists and computer scientists together, the inclusion of usab- ity engineering (UE), which is a software engineering discipline and ensures the appropriate implementation of applications, has become indispensable. Our 2009 topic was therefore Human-Computer...

Constitutes the refereed proceedings of HCI in Work and Learning, Life and Leisure, held as the 6th Symposium of the Workgroup Human-Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering of the Austrian Computer Society, USAB 2010, in Klagenfurt, Austria, in November 2010.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 9th International Joint Conference on Software Technologies, ICSOFT 2014, held in Vienna, Austria, in August 2014.

The 15 revised full papers and 6 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 145 submissions. The papers focus on enterprise software technologies; software engineering and systems security; distributed systems; and software project management.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th Conference of the Workgroup Human-Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering of the Austrian Computer Society, USAB 2011, in Graz, Austria, in November 2011.
The 18 revised full papers together with 29 revised short papers and 2 posters presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 submissions.

The process of doing an academic work, whether a mini-project, diploma thesis, master's thesis or PhD thesis, requires systematic knowledge and skills in order to answer the following questions: "How do I find a topic?," "How do I obtain funding money?," "How do I write a project proposal?," "How is the organisatoric workflow?," "How do I search Literature systematically?," "Why should I read patents?," "How can I organize my references?," "Why English as a working language?," "What is the formal structure of a thesis like?," "What is the classical hypothetic-deductive research process?,"...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction and Knowledge Discovery, HCI-KDD 2013, held in Maribor, Slovenia, in July 2013, at SouthCHI 2013. The 20 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on human-computer interaction and knowledge discovery, knowledge discovery and smart homes, smart learning environments, and visualization data analytics.
