Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Considering the growing popularity of interactive technologies around the world, Electronics is welcoming submissions for a Special Issue that aims to investigate the interaction between human elements and computing technologies and the associated opportunities and challenges.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and survey articles that present human-centric/user studies, development processes, and the successes, failures and challenges related to technological interventions. This Special Issue seeks multi-disciplinary research articles that address design, technology, education and health, etc. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Artificial Intelligence and its applications
- Generative AI and its real-world applications
- Internet of things (IoT) applications: wearable and tangible systems
- Social applications of computing technologies
- Social implications of technology
- Entertainment systems
- Cyber security systems
- Digital platforms: video conferencing, mobile apps, etc.
- Design and creative elements of interactive computing systems
- Games and play
- Immersive technologies (AR, VR and XR)
- HCI methodologies (user centred design, research through design, co-design field studies etc.)
- Design processes and failures
We welcome submissions from HCI designers, practitioners and industry partners that present clear and novel contributions to the HCI field. Your manuscript should be independent and should not have been submitted elsewhere. We do not publish studies on control or randomised trials, or those that present other medical and social interventions that do not involve technologies or have implications for technological designs. However, we encourage the submission of manuscripts that address access to datasets, multimedia resources or other artefacts to support the transparency and reproducibility of results.
