Human-Computer Systems Interaction: Backgrounds and Applications 3

This book contains an interesting and state-of the art collection of papers on the recent progress in Human-Computer System Interaction (H-CSI). It contributes the profound description of the actual status of the H-CSI field and also provides a solid base for further development and research in the discussed area. The contents of the book are divided into the following parts: I. General human-system interaction problems; II. Health monitoring and disabled people helping systems and III. Various information processing systems. This book is intended for a wide audience of readers who are not necessarily experts in computer science, machine learning or knowledge engineering, but are interested in Human-Computer Systems Interaction. The level of particular papers and specific spreading-out into particular parts is a reason why this volume makes fascinating reading. This gives the reader a much deeper insight than he/she might glean from research papers or talks at conferences. It touches on all deep issues that currently preoccupy the entire field of H-CSI.

From the book reviews:“It contains 29 papers written by about 100 authors. Most are well written and will help readers gain practical knowledge. This volume mostly focuses on HCI pertaining to healthcare and information processing. … It will be useful to post-graduate students and researchers working in the field.” (S. Ramakrishnan, Computing Reviews, October, 2014)
