ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This international interdisciplinary workshop has already tradition. The
workshops are established for a broad discussion of informatics problems
in an interdisciplinary cooperation with psychologists.
In the field of human-computer interaction, the important role of
psychological research is more and more recognized. In order to
find out strong design methods for the user interface, we need
systematic knowledge of the relationship between a user interface
and its requirements to a user. For the knowledge a user has or
should have of a system, the term user's mental model becomes more and
more popular.
The workshop aims for a broad discussion of the mental model approach in
informatics and psychology.
