Introduction
This special issue aims to promote and disseminate the recent advances in
the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), both at academic and
industry level, from the software engineering perspective (Seffah,
Desmarais & Metzker, 2005).
Currently, human-computer interaction is present in any software and
technological device and interface design has become a critical aspect in
the development, because it is one of the main factors that influence the
success and competitiveness of software applications. So, we can say that
an interactive system is not only judged by its ability to conduct
operations, but also for its ability to properly communicate to the user.
The evolution of interfaces and interaction styles (Preece, 1994) have led
to different interactive paradigms throughout the history of computing,
where the most known are desktop computer, virtual reality, augmented
reality and ubiquitous computing. Technological advances led to a new
generation of interactive systems, such as multimedia or virtual reality
environments. The effect of leading interaction "beyond the desktop" bring
new questions and challenges involved and make us consider new phenomena
and issues. From the last ten years, the interfaces became mobile,
cooperative, collaborative and social, tangible and tactile, gestural
(multimodal), hybrid, augmented and controlled by the brain (brain
computing). At present, computers are designed to be "embedded" within the
environment and therefore, it is necessary to rethink the interaction
between the person and the computer in this context (Lytras, Ordoñez &
García-Peñalvo, 2013). The new user interface and new interaction
paradigms have created new styles of communication and interaction with
the user, and present new challenges for researchers and designers of
interactive systems to improve user experience and communicability with
the system.
Moreover, while field of human-computer interaction (HCI) is growing
maturing, engineering approaches become more important (Sutcliffe, 2005).
In HCI, systems approaches are extensive, remarking different areas of
interest, such as structured methodologies for interactive system design
(Fischer, 2012) and evaluation and methods, processes, languages, models
and tools to improve interactive systems (Jacko, 2011; Memmel, 2009). So,
this special issue aims to bring together research, relevant experiences
and contributions to the area of human-computer interaction. Specifically,
the topic will be studied from systems approach, identifying possible
solutions to the challenges on development of interactive systems.
