HCI Engineering Discipline

This section presents HCI/E as the way forward for HCI as an Engineering discipline.

Introduction

HCI

‘HCI’, as a description of the field, is more established and general than alternative descriptors. HCI, however, is in a period of transition. No description of the field, then, is excluded, providing HCI Research is part of its explicitly declared scope.

Here, HCI, may be interpreted to include: User Experience (UX); Ease of Use (Usability); Applied Psychology; Interaction Design (ID); Technocratic Art (Graphic Design); Digital Interaction (DI); Cognitive Engineering (CE); Engineering Psychology etc. (1)

More.....

Given the growth and diversity of new computing technology, however, HCI is considered to stand for: ‘Human-Computing Technology Interaction’ more generally, rather than the more limited ‘Human-Computer Interaction’, a term more associated with personal computing. This change is considered to be primarily a technological update. The short form HCI, however, continues to be used throughout. (2)

HCI Engineering Research

Research acquires and validates new knowledge. The acquisition and validation of new knowledge can be implicit, as in a researcher’s experience or explicit, as in different kinds of research reporting, such as: journals; reports; books; patents etc.

HCI Research acquires and validates new HCI design knowledge. Its acquisition and validation can be implicit, as in a researcher’s experience or explicit, as in different kinds of research reporting.

HCI as Engineering is one of a number of approaches to HCI. Others include: Innovation; Art; Craft; Applied; Science; etc. HCI as Engineering has an established record in HCI with a well-documented history. (3) to (8)

HCI Engineering Research acquires and validates new HCI design knowledge. It includes both declarative knowledge, such as: guidelines; models and principles and methodological knowledge, such as practices of: implement and test; specify and implement and specify then implement.

State of HCI

Since its inception in the late ’70s, HCI has grown and diversified. Growth and diversification continue to characterise the increase in the scope of HCI.

More.....

The ‘human’ scope includes more: abilities; ages; communities; and societies. The ‘interaction’ scope includes: pointing and clicking; drawing; speaking; touching; and gesturing. The ‘computing technology’ scope includes: mobile and ubiquitous technology. (2) (9) Together they constitute the increased scope of HCI.

State of HCI Research

Research acquires and validates new HCI design knowledge. HCI research has responded to the increase in the scope of HCI by growth and diversification of its own. The latter takes two forms – fields and theories. This increased scope of HCI research constitutes an on-going challenge for HCI research itself.

More.....

First, the growth and diversification of the fields of HCI, (for example, Academic Disciplines – 7; Design Practices – 5; and Interdisciplinary Overlapping Fields – 7, that is 19 fields in total, as proposed by Rogers). (10) Second, the growth and diversification of the theories of HCI (for example, Classical – 3; Modern – 9; and Contemporary – 5, that is, 17 theories in total), as also proposed by Rogers. (10) Together they constitute the increased scope of HCI research, in general.

HCI as Engineering Research has experienced growth and diversification of both fields and theories similar to HCI Research more generally. (3) to (8)

Challenges for HCI Engineering Research

The growth and diversification of HCI research has led, in the absence of consensus about both, to a fragmentation of both HCI fields and theories. The challenge for HCI research, then, is to retain the growth and diversification of research, while increasing consensus, decreasing fragmentation and so improving HCI discipline progress. (10) (11) (12)

Since HCI as Engineering is an approach to HCI Research, the challenges of the latter apply to the former.

Aim of this Site

The aim of this site is to propose a way forward for HCI as Engineering to meet these HCI research challenges. The proposal takes the form of HCI/E. The latter posits a Conception for HCI Engineering Research, which supports HCI frameworks for: Discipline; Design Problem; Knowledge; Design Practice and Design Research Exemplar (11) (13) These HCI frameworks are intended to help meet the HCI research challenges.

More.....

First, the retention of growth and diversification of the current HCI technological scope (for example, its application to Web Design) and the associated HCI research (for example, its application to User Experience as Fun) is addressed by the scope of the HCI frameworks.

Second, the increase of consensus within HCI research is addressed by the compatibility of the HCI frameworks, supporting researchers in building on each other’s work.

Third, the decrease of fragmentation of HCI Theory is also addressed by the compatibility of the HCI frameworks. This compatibility supports the acquisition and validation of both HCI declarative knowledge, such as: guidelines; models and principles and HCI methodological knowledge, such as practices of: implement and test; specify and implement and specify then implement.

1. EU Research

For the last 25 years or so, I have attempted to develop an engineering approach to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI/E). However, much of my research has been conducted with colleagues and students at the Ergonomics and HCI Unit, University College London (EU). This legacy archive constitutes a celebration both of our research and of (HCI/E) itself.

The HCI/E archive comprises 5 sections : Discipline; Design Problem; Design Knowledge; and Design Practice. In addition, and for completeness, it is  followed by the ‘Festschrift for John Long’, which appeared, as a Special Issue of the journal ‘Interacting with Computers’ in 2010.

1. HCI/E Discipline

All the EU research is grounded in an EU Conception of an HCI Engineering discipline, itself a product of the research. Read More…..

Read More.....

The Conception was originally published in Long and Dowell (1989) and the full version of the Conception, appearing in the paper, is presented in 1.5.

To make the Conception accessible to a wide range of researchers: a complete expression appears in a short version of Long and Dowell in 1.4; a summary version in 1.3; a generalised HCI Engineering version in 1.2; and finally, a generalised HCI version in 1.1. The latter also serves as an introduction to the Conception.

Researchers of both engineering and non-engineering persuasions are encouraged to access the Conception in all these different versions, depending on their interests. Finally, the concepts carried forward by the Conception appear in 1.6 and the EU research illustrations of HCI Engineering in 1.7.

As appropriate, a version is supported by citations (C) from the original Long and Dowell paper, which allows readers to check the derivation of the version from the original. (F) indicates footnotes.

Unlike these two conceptions, however, the EU Conception of Engineering Design Knowledge has no single paper dedicated to its exposure. Rather, it appears throughout the Discipline and Design Problem conception papers. For this reason, 3.5 presents both papers in full and other sections include citations from both papers, where appropriate. Together the two papers present the complete EU Conception of Engineering Design Knowledge.

To make the EU Conception of Engineering Design Knowledge more accessible to a wide range of researchers: a complete expression appears in short versions of the Discipline and Design Problem papers (3.4); a summary version in 3.3; a generalized Engineering version in 3.2; and finally, a generalised HCI version in 3.1. The latter also serves as an introduction to the Conception. Finally, the concepts carried forward by the Conception appear in 3.6 and the EU research illustrations of HCI Engineering in 3.7.

3.6 Concepts Carried Forward

The concepts carried forward in this section are: Design; Knowledge; and Design Knowledge

Design; Knowledge; and Design Knowledge

3.7 Illustrations of HCI Engineering Design Knowledge from EU Research

3.7.1 Cummaford (2000) Validating Effective Design Knowledge for Re-Use: HCI Engineering Design Principles

Cummaford here applies the EU Conception of Design Knowledge to develop a conception of (HCI) Engineering Design Principles, as a framework within which systematically to relate design knowledge to performance.Design knowledge is illustrated throughout the paper.

4. HCI/E Design Practice

All the EU research is grounded in EU Conceptions of the HCI Engineering Discipline (Long and Dowell (1989) – see Section 1) and of the HCI Engineering Design Problem (Dowell and Long (1989) – see Section 2) – both products of the research. Read More…..

Unlike these two conceptions, however, the EU Conception of Engineering Design Practice has no single paper dedicated to its exposure. Rather, it appears throughout the Discipline and Design Problem conception papers. For this reason, 4.5 cites both papers in full, which together present the complete EU Conception of Engineering Design Practice.

To make the Conception more accessible to a wide range of researchers: a complete expression appears in short versions of the Discipline and Design Problem papers (4.4); a summary version in 4.3; a generalized Engineering version in 4.2; and finally, a generalised HCI version in 4.1. Finally, the concepts carried forward by the Conception appear in 4.6 and the EU research illustrations of HCI Engineering in 4.7.

The (C) numbers in brackets refer to the citations from the original Dowell and Long and Long and Dowell (1989) papers, associated with the claim, which precedes the number – see also EU Citations 3.3. This referencing allows the reader to check the summary’s derivation from the original papers. The (F) numbers refer to footnotes.

4.7 Illustrations of HCI Engineering Design Practice from EU Research

4.7.1 Timmer and Long (2002) Expressing the Effectiveness of Planning Horizons

This paper uses the EU Conception of Design Practice to describe a method that enables the expression of: a) the plans of a process operator, and how far into the future those plans extend; and b) an assessment of how adequate those plans are, for ensuring that work goals are attained. The illustration occurs throughout the paper.

Postscript

No complete list of EU publications currently exists. One is being constructed here, based on my list of published papers, augmented by papers published by other EU colleagues, as the papers come to light. I have included my papers before joining the EU (1979), so that it is possible for readers to follow my evolution from applied psychologist to HCI engineer (see Student Reflections) .

Ergonomics Unit Research (continued)

I was appointed Director of the Ergonomics Unit/UCL in 1979. Read More…..

I was appointed Director of the Ergonomics Unit/UCL in 1979. At the time, EU organised an intercollegiate MSc in Ergonomics; but did not conduct any research of its own. My brief was to initiate research. This I did and continued to lead the research until I retired in 2001.

Here, I would like to celebrate the members and the work (referred to here as EU research) of the EU/UCL. Members of the EU community included: MSc and PhD students; academic and administrative staff; visitors; and researchers. The EU contribution to HCI Engineering appears in the publications listed above.

It was the greatest place to work and play (both hard). Early work consisted of psychology, writing up research from my MRC/APU, Cambridge PhD days (Long, 1980); applied psychology, originating with Donald Broadbent, my PhD supervisor (Long, 1995) and now under the new guise of Cognitive Ergonomics (Long and Whitefield, 1989).

However, all of the EU research would consider itself to be engineering, of one sort or another. It attempted to advance the state of HCI in the short to medium term. All used the Discipline Conception (see Section 1). Most used the Design Problem Conception (see Section 2). Both the Knowledge (see Section 3) and the Practice Conception (see Section 4) were also applied.

The work covered most areas of HCI: user requirements (A Method for Multi-disciplinary Practice – Denley and Long, 2001); design (MUSE a Method for Usability Engineering – Lim and Long, 1994); and evaluation (A Planning Aid to Support Evaluation Practice – Denley and Long, 1997). Design-oriented substantive knowledge, in the form of user, interactive worksystem and domain models, as well as the methodological knowledge, required for their application to design, were both acquired (in the domain of secretarial office administration – Smith et al, 1997; in the domain of emergency services management – Hill and Long, 1996; and in the domain of air traffic management – Timmer and Long, 2002, also Hill, 2010).

Later EU research, using Discipline, Design Problem, Knowledge and Practice Conceptions, attempted to acquire formal HCI design principles, as envisaged by Long and Dowell earlier – principles, which offer a better guarantee in solving design problems, than other forms of knowledge, such as heuristics, guidelines, models and methods. Better because principles support the derivation of design solutions, given design problems. In the interests of clarity, this research is referred to here as HCI (Principles) Engineering (see Carroll, Wild and Hill (all 2010) in the John Long Festschrift). Early and initial HCI design principles have been proposed for ‘hard’ problems in the domains of domestic energy management (Stork, 1999) and of business-to-customer electronic commerce (Cummaford, 2007).

Taken together, the two lines of EU research provided support for (iterative) ‘specify and implement’ design practice (models and methods) and ‘specify then implement’ practice (principles). Judgement on their success or failure, I leave to others.

2. John Long Festschrift

In 2010, the ‘Festschrift for John Long’ appeared, as a Special Issue of the journal ‘Interacting with Computers’. The first part of this website section presents the papers, published in the Festschrift, along with my commentary. The second part consists of papers, submitted by Ergonomics Unit researchers; but not published in the Festschrift. The third part lists the Ergonomics Unit papers, referenced by the published or submitted Festschrift papers. For more details, concerning the origins of the Festschrift and this section, scroll down to the end.

Introduction to ‘John Long Festschrift’ (continued)

(continued)

The origins of the ‘John Long Festschrift’ are to be found in a call for papers, announced by Dianne Murray, General Editor of the journal ‘Interacting with Computers’, for a Special Issue to be entitled ‘Festschrift for John Long’. According to the announcement: ‘John Long, Emeritus Professor at UCL (University College London), has made a substantial contribution as one of the founding fathers of British HCI. This Special Issue of Interacting with Computers will celebrate John’s contributions to HCI and showcase strengths of UK HCI research’. The guest editors of the Special Issue were Alistair Sutcliffe and Ann Blandford. It appeared in January 2010, as Volume 22, Issue 1 of Interacting with Computers.

The Special Issue contains five papers in all (two by members of the Ergonomics Unit), plus a guest editors’ Introduction and a Postscript, written by myself, at the invitation of the editors. All the Festschrift published contributions appear above, as pre-print (accepted for publication) full-text versions.

In my own contribution to the Festschrift (‘Some Celebratory HCI Reflections on a Celebratory HCI Festschrift’), I celebrated ‘the Festschrift papers themselves (both accepted and rejected), their authors and their reviewers’. I also went on to write: ‘My natural instinct is to peer review the papers. Space and my honoured status forbid such a review. However, I hope to do this elsewhere (I owe it to the authors and myself)’. The ‘elsewhere’ is here and the time is ‘now’.

However, on reflection, to peer review the Festschrift papers now seems inappropriate. They were peer reviewed before publication and are unlikely to be re-published, at least in their present form. Nevertheless, I would still like to respond to the papers (‘what I owe myself’) and to contribute to the ideas, expressed in them (‘what I owe the authors’). My ‘response’ and ‘contribution’, then take the form of a commentary – a set of comments on the ideas put forward by the authors. The comments are wide-ranging from simple clarifications to complex suggestions as to how the ideas might be developed further. The comments are intended to be constructive, even when critical. They are my way of expressing my thanks to the authors for their contributions to the Festschrift. I hope they find my comments both interesting and useful. The comments, of course,were communicated to the authors before their insertion into the papers.

A further five papers, submitted by Ergonomics Unit researchers, but not published in the Festschrift, also appear above. In addition, there appears above a complete listing of all the Ergonomics Unit research papers, referenced by either the published or submitted Festschrift contributions.

Taken together, my commentary on the Festschrift published papers, the listing of all Ergonomics Unit papers, referenced by the papers and the Ergonomics Unit papers, submitted, but not published, all constitute additions to and enhancement of the ‘Festschrift for John Long’ publication itself, as claimed in my Introduction to this website.
