2014-10-03: CFP: Human-Information Interaction, Special Issue of Informatics (Deadline: 01 May 2015)
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue of the Informatics journal welcomes submissions on the topic of human-information interaction (HII). HII is concerned with how and why humans use, find, consume, work with, and interact with information to solve problems, make decisions, learn, plan, make sense, discover, and carry out numerous other tasks and activities. Although tools and technologies mediate interaction with information, the focus of HII research is not on technological issues per se. HII focuses on the interaction between humans and information that is mediated and supported by interactive technologies in the areas of decision support, health and medicine, education, libraries, personal-information management, natural and social science, and others. HII is inherently interdisciplinary, and draws from research in human-computer interaction, information science, cognitive and perceptual sciences, health and medical informatics, information visualization, educational technologies, library science, and information systems. We encourage authors to submit their original research articles, work in progress, surveys, reviews, and viewpoint articles in this field. This special issue welcomes applications, theories, models, and frameworks—whether conceptual, analytical, prescriptive, predictive, design-related, or otherwise—that are concerned with (but not limited to) the following topics as they relate to HII:
- Interaction Design
- Distributed Cognition
- Thinking and Reasoning
- Visual Reasoning
- Interactive Cognition
- Interaction Patterns
- Sensemaking
- Complex Cognition
- Cognitive Activities
- Information Behavior
- Knowledge Work
- Learning
- Problem Solving
- Decision Making
- Planning
- Mental Models and Representations
