ASSESSMENT OF THE ERGONOMIC QUALITY OF HAND-HELD TOOLS AND COMPUTER INPUT DEVICES
Volume 1
The quality of products and the management processes employed for their production, represents an important criterion that can set a company apart from competitors. This among other things is one reason the evaluation and certification of products,…
THE HANDBOOK OF TASK ANALYSIS FOR HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION
Believe it or not, task analysis has foundations going back to the turn of the last century. One of
the reasons for its longevity is that task analysis methods have adapted. Evolutionary changes
in its associated disciplines have been accompanied…

The Semiotic Engineering of Human-Computer
Interaction
“Semiotic” or “semiotics” are terms not frequently found in the HCI literature.
Search results can be taken as a rough indication of the relative scarcity of semiotic
approaches to HCI. In December 2003 a search for semiotic in the HCI…
