Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field of research that focuses on the understanding and design of interaction between humans and computers. HCI has its roots in Human Factors and Ergonomics and cognitive sciences, but over the years it has underwent a variety of deep transformations, by importing a variety of approaches, theories, and methods from other disciplines, like anthropology and sociology. Theoretical perspectives like phenomenology, social practices theories, and grounded theory, are now fruitfully used by HCI researchers to interpret the behavior of people interacting with technology and ground the design of new interactive systems. In the same vein, HCI techniques for understanding, designing, and evaluating the interaction span from ethnography, semi-structured interviews, participatory design, and scenario-based design, to controlled experiments, usability testing, and research through design methods. At the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, HCI tackles practically every aspect of people’s lives, including matters like, techno-spirituality, global crises, death, sexuality, physical and cognitive disabilities, as well as technologies like wearable devices, self-changing and bio-interfaces, robots, virtual, mixed, and augmented reality applications. In this complex landscape, several promising lines of HCI research, which intertwine the individual, social, and organizational levels of the usage of technologies, are “gameful” interaction, self-tracking and behavior change technologies, and conversational agents.

About the editors
Philippe Palanque is professor in Computer Science at the University Toulouse 3 and former head and founder of the ICS (Interactive Critical Systems)team at IRIT Laboratory. Since the early 90’s his research focus is on interactive systems engineering proposing notations, methods and tools to integrate multiple properties such as usability, dependability, resilience and more recently user experience. These contributions have been developed together with industrial partners from various application domains such as civil aviation, air traffic management or satellite ground segments. Recently he has been involved in the specification of future interactive cockpits and their interactions and in the modelling of operational states of civil aircraft (with direct support from and close collaboration with Airbus). He has been working in the area of automation for more than ten years, was a member of the SESAR Higher Automation Levels in Aviation network of excellence and paper co-chair of ATACCS (Application and Theory of Automation in Command and Control Systems) 2015 conference.
As for conferences he is a member of the program committee of conferences in these domains such as SAFECOMP 2021 (40th conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security), DSN 2014 (44th conference on Dependable Systems and Networks), EICS 2021 (28th annual conference on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems), was general co-chair of ACM CHI 2014 (32nd conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems) and program chair of IFIP TC 13 INTERACT 2015.
He was steering committee chair of the CHI conference series at ACM SIGCHI, is a member of the CHI academy and was awarded the Lifetime Service Award at ACM SIGCHI in 2021. As for IFIP, he is chair of the Technical Committee on Human-Computer Interaction (TC13), secretary of the WG 13.5 on Resilience, Reliability, Safety and Human Error in System Development as well as a member of the steering committee of the IFIP TC 13 INTERACT conference series. He edited and co-edited more than twenty books or conference proceedings including the "Handbook on Formal Methods in Human-Computer Interaction" published by Springer in 2017.
Marco Winckler is Professor in Computer Sciences at the Université Côte d’Azur and Responsible for the track on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at Polytech Nice, Sophia Antipolis, France. He is member of the SPARKS team (Scalable and Pervasive softwARe and Knowledge Systems) of the CNRS lab I3S (UMR 6070) and the WIMMICS team (Web-Instrumented Man-Machine Interactions, Communities, and Semantics) of the INRIA Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée. His research address problems concerning the Engineering Interactive Systems , such as how to describe interactive systems and how to evaluate user interfaces to detect problems in early phases of the development process. He had applied such methods on the field of Web Engineering where he developed a particular interest for methods for specifying online/offline navigation and client-side adaptation of Web sites. In recent years, his research embraced themes of Information Visualization , such as methods for describing complex visualization pipelines and chained visualizations, as a mean to help users to process and understand relationships within the increasing amount of data available over the Web.
Since 2013, he serves as secretary of the IFIP TC 13 on Human-Computer Interaction and from 2017 onwards, he is member of the IFIP committee on Internet of Things (DC IoT). He is member of the IEEE IES FA13 Subcommittee (on Computer Vision and Human-Machine Interaction in Industrial and Factory Automation, since 2014), the AFIHM (French Human-Computer Interaction Society/Association Francophone d'Interaction Homme-Machine, since 2001), and the SBC (Brazilian Computing Society/Sociedade Brasileira da Computação, since 1998).
