Model-Driven Development (MDD) has become an important paradigm in software development. It uses models as primary artifacts in the development process. This book provides an outstanding overview as well as deep insights into the area of model-driven development of user interfaces, which is an emerging topic in the intersection of Human-Computer-Interaction and Software-Engineering. The idea of this book is based on the very successful workshop series of “Model-Driven Development of Advanced User Interfaces (MDDAUI)”. It has been written by the leading researchers and practitioners in the field of model-driven development of user interfaces and offer a variety of solutions and examples for • Architectures and environments for the generation of user interfaces • User interface development for specific domains and purposes • Model-driven development in the context of ambient intelligence • Concepts supporting model-driven development of user interfaces

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Task Models and Diagrams for User Interface Design, TAMODIA 2007, held in Toulouse, France, in November 2007. The workshop features current research and gives some indication of the new directions in which task analysis theories, methods, techniques and tools are progressing. The papers are organized in topical sections.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of 11 international workshops held as satellite events of the 9th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems, MoDELS 2006, in Genoa, Italy, in October 2006 (see LNCS 4199). The 32 revised full papers were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. They are presented along with a doctorial and an educators' symposium section.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of 10 internationl workshops and 2 symposia held as satellite events of the 10th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems, MoDELS 2007, in Nashville, TN, USA, in September/October 2007 (see LNCS 4735). The 29 revised full papers were carefully selected for inclusion in the book and are presented along with a doctoral and an educators' symposium section. The papers are organized in topical sections representing the various workshops: aspect-oriented modeling (AOM 2007), language engineering (ATEM2007), model driven development of advanced user interfaces (MDDAUI 2007), model size metrics (MSM 2007), model-based design of trustworthy health information systems (MOTHIS 2007), model-driven engineering, verification and validation (MoDeVVa 2007), modelling systems with OCL (Ocl4All 2007), Models@run.time, multi-paradigm modeling: concepts and tools (MPM 2007), quality in modeling, doctoral symposium, and educators' symposium.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (formerly the UML series of conferences), MODELS 2007, held in Nashville, USA, September 30 - October 5, 2007. The 45 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 158 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections.

The modern world has made available a wealth of new possibilities for interacting with computers, through advanced Web applications, while on the go with handheld smart telephones or using electronic tabletops or wall-sized displays. Developers of modern interactive systems face great problems: how to design applications which will work well with newly available technologies, and how to efficiently and correctly implement such designs. Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems 2008 was the 15th of a series of annual workshops devoted to helping designers and implementers of interactive systems unleash the power of modern interaction devices and techniques. DSV-IS 2008 was held at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada, during July 16–18, 2008. This book collects the best papers submitted to the workshop. There were 17 full papers, 10 late-breaking and experience report papers, and two demonstrations. Keynote presentations were provided by Judy Brown of Carleton University and Randy Ellis of Queen’s University. The first day of the workshop addressed the problems of user interface evaluation and specification, with particular emphasis on the use of task models to provide hi- level approaches for capturing the intended functionality of a user interface. Day two continued this theme, examining techniques for modeling user interfaces, particularly for mobile and ubiquitous applications. Presenters also discussed advanced implem- tation techniques for interactive systems. Finally, day three considered how to arc- tect interactive systems, and returned to the themes of evaluation and specification.

The 30 revised full papers were carefully selected for inclusion in the book and are presented along with an educators's and a doctorial symposium section comprising additional 13 short articles. The papers are organized in topical sections representing the various workshops

This book focuses on emerging issues following the integration of artificial intelligence systems in our daily lives. It focuses on the cognitive, visual, social and analytical aspects of computing and intelligent technologies, highlighting ways to improve technology acceptance, effectiveness, and efficiency. Topics such as responsibility, integration and training are discussed throughout. The book also reports on the latest advances in systems engineering, with a focus on societal challenges and next-generation systems and applications for meeting them. It also discusses applications in smart grids and infrastructures, systems engineering education as well as defense and aerospace. The book is based on both the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Human Factors in Artificial Intelligence and Social Computing, Software and Systems Engineering, The Human Side of Service Engineering and Human Factors in Energy, July 21–25, 2018, Loews Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida, USA.

This four-volume set LNCS 6761-6764 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2011, held in Orlando, FL, USA in July 2011, jointly with 8 other thematically similar conferences. The revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers accepted for presentation thoroughly cover the entire field of Human-Computer Interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas. The papers of this first volume are organized in topical sections on HCI design, model-based and patterns-based design and development, cognitive, psychological and behavioural issues in HCI, development methods, algorithms, tools and environments, and image processing and retrieval in HCI.
