“…The need for a multi-disciplinary approach has been acknowledged to provide better ''contextuality'' involving the users and their constructive relation with ''systems'' (Kuutti, 1995;Karat and Karat, 2003). Moreover, HCI necessitates the development of a general systems model so as to place the work in a wider context (Diaper and Sanger, 2006). The paper extends and contributes to HCI research by adopting a holistic perspective where human, organisational, and technical issues are blended successfully, to provide better contextuality and insight into the ''team working'' problem situation.…”

In defining a virtual team-working solution as with any new organisational form, success relies not merely on the introduction and adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), but also on critically analysing the underlying social and organisational aspects. The paper investigates the effectiveness of virtual teams, and any other suitable form of virtual collaboration, in the Construction sector and explores the factors that influence their successful adoption. The positivist strand adopted in the research emphasises a particular approach that promotes software application hosting through a dedicated application service provider, as opposed to the traditional software-licensing model. The research identifies important socio-organisational challenges inherent to the project-based nature of Construction, including issues related to technology adoption, team identification, trust, and motivation. Action research techniques have been employed to conduct the research involving two Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SME) from France and Finland.

“…The usage efficiency of these technologies as suitably designed for human use has been studied within the scope of human computer interactions (HCI; Diaper & Sanger, 2006).One sees the concept of HCI in the article by American physiologist J. C. R. Licklider in 1960 for the first time (Lesh, Marks, Rich, & Sidner, 2002, p. 1). Licklider (1960, p. 4) tried to explain the concept of common life (symbiosis) by giving examples of insects and trees, and defined the concept as the common experience of cooperation between two different species.…”

Mobile phones have entered our lives through technological developments, becoming the most commonly used technological device. In the last decade, they can now process almost every task that can be done with a computer. In particular, people who have been provided several advantages with their smart phones through an Internet connection are spending more and more time on mobile phones. Excessive use of mobile phones has become an addiction in society. The ability to access the Internet anytime on mobile phones, in addition to social applications and online games, increases Internet and mobile phone addiction. This study is based on the components model approach, developed within the scope of behavioral addictions to actualize the mobile phone addiction scale. Structural analysis was performed on this model, which proved it to be applicable as a mobile addiction scale. In the study, data from 284 participants was used, and mobile addiction was determined to relate to withdrawal, relapse, tolerance, and salience.

“…Similarly, Diaper (1989) in his opening editorial for Interacting with Computers, and re-iterated more recently (Diaper and Sanger, 2006), suggests that the goals of the discipline of HCI are ''to develop or improve the safety, utility, effectiveness, efficiency and usability of systems that include computers".…”

Human–computer interaction: A stable discipline, a nascent science, and the growth of the long tail

a b s t r a c tThis paper represents a personal view of the state of HCI as a design discipline and as a scientific discipline, and how this is changing in the face of new technological and social situations. Going back 20 years a frequent topic of discussion was whether HCI was a 'discipline'. It is unclear whether this was ever a fruitful topic, but academic disciplines are effectively about academic communities and there is ample evidence of the long-term stability of the international HCI/CHI community. However, as in computer 'science', the central scientific core of HCI is perhaps still unclear; for example, a strength of HCI is the closeness between theory and practice, but the corresponding danger is that the two are often confused. The paper focuses particularly on the challenge of methodological thinking in HCI, especially as the technological and social context of HCI rapidly changes. This is set alongside two other challenges: the development of reliable knowledge in HCI and the clear understanding of interlinked human roles within the discipline. As a case study of the need for methodological thinking, the paper considers the use of single person studies in research and design. These are likely to be particularly valuable as we move from a small number of applications used by many people to a 'long tail' where large numbers of applications are used by small numbers of people. This change calls for different practical design strategies; focusing on the peak experience of a few rather than acceptable performance for many. Moving back to the broader picture, as we see more diversity both in terms of types of systems and kinds of concerns, this may also be an opportunity to reflect on what is core across these; potential fragmentation becoming a locus to understand more clearly what defines HCI, not just for the things we see now, but for the future that we cannot see.
