Computer users from other disciplines are also welcome. Key Topics for the conference include: * design and design methodologies * evaluation * formal methods * groupwork/CSCW * intelligent & adaptive interfaces * interaction architectures, tools & techniques * models of the user * multimedia/hypermedia * organisational and societal issues * standards * telepresence/teleworking * user interface management * users with special needs * virtual reality The HCI series of conferences is organised by the British HCI Group.
