Talk:Human-centered computing

message: I think that the list of links to specific academic programs at the bottom of this article should be deleted, or at least severely pruned. This smacks of astroturf! Anyone have a strong opinion on this?Jtmorgan (talk) 17:24, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Linkspam in the External Links section

message: I am reorganizing some of the recent changes to this article. Listing out things found in a google search does not make the article any easier to understand. Some of these topics may be best handled by a disambiguation page anyhow.
Also, I'm removing some traditional HCI buzzwords like "user-friendly." In general, a lot of HCI seems to be creeping in here. I'm not even sure if we should keep the links to ergonomy and all that traditional pre-HCI stuff. --Andicat 22:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, anonymous, I dont' know if I'm the "main editor" here but I care about the article so thanks for helping get it to the point where it has some content! I agree that one could certainly call human-centered computing a perspective on computing. It's also an interdisciplinary area of research that is becoming more and more reified in the form of academic centers, research consortia and programs, etc. There is a distinction to be made between human-centered approaches to computing/computer science and... well... computer-centered ones! :-) That's WHY these various organizations are differentiating themselves from the tradiational approaches. As one editor of this page wrote, the distinctions between HCI/HCC and Info Sci are not always clear. In order to create an encyclopedia article that conveys what kind of work is being done in HCC programs, I've personally been trying to avoid including content about the traditional ways of dealing with the interactions between humans and computers, (i.e. ergonomics, etc). Mostly because I think those things are probably best dealt with in other articles anyhow. I can certainly see where the NASA project could be included as a related link along with the others, it just seemed as though they used a narrow, quite contextualized definition of HCC and shouldn't be used in the body of the article as a main definition, so I moved it.I disagree that the article is poorly-written. I think there are some editors whohave been doing a marvelous job here. I think this article is best left a stub actually, and fairly abstract as this is a pretty new topic. It will grow. --Andicat 11:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Buzzwords

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I am editing this page for a class project with two other editors, and we are planning on making the following changes to this article:
* Adding an overview of the HCC topic as a whole in which we discuss the goals of HCC and the factors that form the core of HCC systems and design
* Adding a subsection on HCM (Human Centered Multimedia) in which we discuss multimedia production, analysis, and interaction
* Adding a subsection on HCS (Human Centered Systems) in which we discuss the dimensions and attributes of human centered systems and how they relate to HCC
* Adding a subsection on HCC Topics in which we use a three dimensional space described by the NSF to categorize topics related to HCC
* Adding a subsection on HCC Scope in which we discuss how HCC facilitates the design of effective computer systems
* Adding a subsection on the NASA HCC Group's ongoing project
We will be making these changes over the next couple of days, if anyone has any objections to the changes, or sees room for improvements, we are more than open to discussion.  This is my first contribution to a wikipedia article and I welcome any feedback!
Thanks!
