The German scene in Human-Compute r Interaction cannot be visited without also looking at its European context and its relations to the global activities in this field. German H C I is closely interlinked with the H C I specialists in the other German-speaking countries Austria and Switzerland; it has a lways been strongly influenced by joint research projects o f the European Community; and many of its members are eagerly participating in S I G C H I work and S I G C H I conferences.

HCI is still a rather new subject for Scandinavian undergraduate level studies. Ten years ago only short courses at var-O ious computer science • ~ and system development educations were available. During the last two-three years HCI education has grown rather rapidly through the establishment of minor programs at the smaller universities and with specific profiles at the bigger universities. In 1998 the first Ph.D. in HCI graduated and now an HMI graduate school has been started in Link6ping and Stock-holm. HCI has also been well established as a research activity in Swe-den and is now becoming more and more regular departments at the major universities. Still, education in HCI is varied in content and direction, and this paper describes a first Swedish workshop aimed at reviewing the contents of HCI courses in Sweden. The workshop was initiated through a session where everybody was asked about their expectation on the workshop in the forms of relevant questions to discuss. The initial questions and discussion topics were, in order of appearance: 1. How do you create a balance between redesigning existing arti-facts and promoting new and creative solutions? 2. Exchange experiences concerning different pedagogical approaches to HCI 3. New ways of examining HCI courses 4. What should a basic HCI course contain? 5. What should advanced HCI courses contain? 6. What basic knowledge should we require? 7. How can we introduce practical tasks into a HCI course? Without it taking too much of the time? Using simple and realistic prob-lems? 8. How do you create motivation for the students to take HCI as a secondary subject? 9. Practical issues How do we teach innovation? How do we teach creativity? 10.What can we learn from the game industry? We did not go through the questions in detail but touched upon most of them in the discussion that followed. Through a brainstorming session we attempted to condense a set of what we considered to be typical knowledge that a basic course on HCI should present. We performed an informal survey in which the workshop participants were to choose the five most important subjects and the summary of the votes went as shown in Table 1. The course should comprise 5 points (where 1 point corresponds to approximately one week of work). The number of subjects turned out to be rather limited.

The approaches in User-Centered Design (UCD) vary from Participatory Design (PD) to model-based engineering. No matter the approach, UCD is not the simple, clear-cut way to successful systems development as is sometimes made out. To discuss these issues the authors arranged a one-day workshop at the Participatory Design Conference (PDC’98) in Seattle on November 14, 1998 entitled “User Centered Design – Problems and Possibilities” [1]. The purpose of this workshop was to discuss the problems encountered in UCD in practice and possible solutions, focusing on case studies in real systems development projects. Ten position papers were accepted and the workshop gathered 16 participants from 7 different countries. The position papers are available on the workshop web site [1].

In this paper, we report from the workshop "Mobile Informatics: Innovation of IT use in mobile settings," arranged in conjunction with the IRIS'21 conference in S~eby, Denmark. 1 We suggested Mobile Informatics as a field concerned with exploring new and innovative ways of using IT in mobile settings. By organizing the workshop, we attempted to introduce footholds for Mobile Informatics within the IRIS community. In particular, we wanted to explore the basis for such a field and elicit relevant issues for future research. The workshop was supported by the Swedish Information Technology Research Institute (SITI).

As with the information technologies that have preceded it, Web technology is faced with many of the same issues of accessibility and usability. Paraphrasing the definition supplied by the ISO [1], Web usability is the efficient, effective and satisfying completion of a specified task by any given Web user. Support of essential user tasks made possible by Web technology serves is the benchmark of its usability. With this definition in mind, a brief review of available empirical research on Web usability was carried out to determine what is known about the factors that might affect Web usability. This review is not intended to be exhaustive nor is it intended as a review of the many design alternatives and suggestions that have been proposed for improving Web use. The primary purpose of this review is to identify Webspecific usability research and to provide some suggestions for future research.

The major outcome of the workshop was the classification of Web usage. We developed three categories: browsing, performing transactions and running applications. Each type of usage has its own characteristics and design requirements. In addition, we identified a category of application that interacts directly with the Internet, without needing a browser as an intermediary. We called these Net applications.

The other day I asked my colleagues (ages 7-10 years old) if they might want to contribute to the SIGCHI Bulletin. I explained that I thought it might be fun for them to share their thoughts with other people who think about kids and computers. They agreed, and so what follows are their thoughts about computers: what they want changed, what they like, and what they think should be possible in the future.

The value of multi-disciplinary research, the exchanging of ideas and methods across traditional discipline boundaries, is well recognised. Indeed, it could be justifiably argued that many of the advances in science and engineering take place because the ideas, methods and the tools of thought from one discipline become re-applied in others. Sadly, it is also the case that many subject areas develop specialised vocabularies and concepts and indeed may also approach more general problems in fairly narrow subject-specific ways. As a result barriers develop between disciplines that prevent the free flow of ideas and the collaborations that could often bring success. The VRI'98 workshop, which was held at the Foresight Centre at the University of Liverpool on September 22-24, 1998, was intended to break down such barriers.

As Landauer has pointed out [1995] Boolean searches often are not an optimal form of target specification for text retrieval (that they are widely used is insufficient reason to promote them). Rather than presenting a list of documents as the result of a search, text retrieval can generally be improved by presenting the user with each found instance as it is found. Such a search can proceed while the user is inspecting the instance just found, making the system seem much faster [Raskin, 1989]. An interactive, incremental search is often preferable to either of the two kinds of dialogs Drori discusses because each instance found gives feedback on the appropriateness of the search key while it is being developed, saving the user t ime and frustration. I have found that users tend to prefer an incremental search (e.g. that o f the EMACS
