If you have ever published a paper on human-computer interaction, then please read on and respond to help compile a public-domain bibliography. Some months ago, I posted a description of the curriculum module on user interface development that I compiled for the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie-Mellon University. This module has been revised to provide expanded coverage of general design, task analysis, and measurement, and the teaching considerations and annotated bibliography have been updated. The annotated bibliography now contains about 200 references of books (with tables of contents), articles and reports (with abstracts), and software tools. There are also easy-to-scan features-tables describing the topics for each entry. Two tables have been provided for the reference sources edited by Helander (Handbook of Human-Computer Interaction) and by Salvendy (Handbook of Human Factors). You may also recall that I have posted the tables of contents of some reference sources (e.g., the Helander and Salvendy books just mentioned). As part of a hypertext project, and in the best interests of research in HCI, I would like to compile, in detailed form, references on all work in human-computer interaction. This material, in online form, will be available via anonymous ftp, and will also be distributed, on a non-profit basis, in other forms, such as on the Mac and on PC's. I have the following requests, which should generate an unbelievable amount of work for me, but only a little work from you. The result should be about 2000+ entries in online form. DO NOT RESPOND WITH BIBLIOGRAPHIC ENTRIES AT THIS TIME! PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I POST A SECOND MESSAGE WITH FORMAT SPECIFICATIONS. That way, I should be able to automate, or at least simplify the data capture process by having a uniform submission format. ANYONE: Make suggestions about formats to me. How should this information be stored, accessed, distributed? I particularly want suggestions for ASCII submission formats. AUTHORS (particularly of articles, book chapters, etc.): Send me bibliographic entries of your articles. You can save us a lot of typing time if you find an online version. Send me your reference entries and especially the abstract. If it is convenient, send me the reference section from your papers. Again, don't send them just yet, but get them off those old tapes and floppies (or even type them in again). I would like to get complete entries from all the conference papers from: ACM SIGCHI conferences Computer Systems section of the Annual Human Factors Society meeting IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics conference ACM-sponsored conferences on computer-supported cooperative work and Hypertext conferences relevant papers from SIGGRAPH INTERACT and IFIP conferences and entries from journals/magazines, including but not restricted to: CACM TOIS TOGS Human Factors IEEE Computer IEEE Software IEEE Trans. SMC Human Computer Interaction Int'l. Jl. Man-Machine Studies Ergonomics Behaviour and Information Technology Journal of Applied Psychology Cognitive Science BYTE Obviously, this is ambitious, but it appears to me that WE, as a network of connected colleagues, can accomplish a lot with many hands making light the work. Please post this message to other networks if you don't see it on them. This is also an experiement in computer-supported distributed work. I will be collecting data on types and timings of responses, and I will post/publish the results of my analyses. Again, feel free to make suggestions about data to collect or analyses. -=- Name: Gary Perlman | Computer and Information Science Department Email: perlman@cis.ohio-state.edu | Ohio State University, 228 Bolz Hall Phone: 614-292-2566 | 2036 Neil Avenue Mall Fax: 614-292-9021 | Columbus, OH 43210-1277 USA
