Abstract

A workshop was held in Seattle on April 1st in conjunction with the CHI'90 conference. The call for participation in the workshop asked for position papers from individuals that described techniques found useful in some way in carrying out HCI design. For the purpose of the workshop, an intentionally broad view of what was considered as a technique was used (e.g., position papers that addressed design process, task-analysis methodologies, and skills-necessary for design, were all considered as addressing techniques). In this report we present an overview of the workshop. Additional reports of subgroup discussions, focused on some of the major themes that emerged during the day, are presented in papers by Braudes, Hix and Casaday, Carter, and Notess.
