Original Kurzfassung:
HCI research over three decades has shaped a wide spanning research area at the
boundaries of computer science and behavioral science, with an impressive outreach
to how humankind is experiencing information and communication technologies in
literally ever
y breath of an individuals life. The explosive growth of networks and
communications, and at the same time radical miniaturization of ICT electronics have
reversed the principles of human computer interaction. Up until now considered as
the interaction co
ncerns when humans approach ICT systems, more recent
observations see systems approaching humans at the same time. Humans and ICT
Systems apparently approach each other confluently.
With modern ICT systems (pervasive, globe
-
spanning, omnipresent and partic
ipative
ICT) deployed at very large scale (5.3 billion mobile phones being in use today, 1
billion active facebook users monthly, 1 billion (smart) cars on the roads, the
emerging internet of things, etc.), we do see technology confluently going together
w
ith society as a whole (rather than individual users). This large scale confluence has
led to notions like "Socio
-
inspired ICT", assuming that future, globe scale ICT
systems should be viewed as social systems. Complex socio
-
technical systems
challenge res
earch to identify and formalize the principles of interaction and
adaptation in social systems, so as to be able to ground future ICT systems on those
principles.
