Description: | The Dept. of Computer Science at The University of Liverpool has strengths in many areas of computer science and staff research interests in: HCI, CSCW, hypertext and document systems, KBS and AI, software engineering, and microcomputer architectures. The two B.Sc. programs (G500 Computer Science and G520 Information Systems -- G520 is for students with a weaker Maths. background than G500) provide two years of solid, introductory computer science and then an explosion of options in the third year. HCI is a third year option, although closely related to the second year course in software engineering. The same HCI option is offered to M.Sc. students. Ph.D.s are by personal supervision. One year research M.Sc.s are available with optional conversion to a Ph.D. |
Facilities: | The department is a Hewlett Packard preferred site and all students use HP workstations for virtually all their work. The department possesses more than 200 workstations, many in colour, and transparently networked. Some video equipment is available and the University has professional level studios. |

We have a strong experimental and quantitative program. Most of our experimental studies are on HCI issues. Our research has been particularly concerned with menu selection, direct manipulation, screen layout, and input devices. In addition, we are have developed and used the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction, a standardized instrument for research and usability testing. Current work is focusing on the design of the electronic classroom and the concept of HyperCourseware, a software infrastructure for computer mediated education. This work is conducted in the AT&T Teaching Theater with complete multimedia and networking facilities. |

Description: | Information science at the University of Pittsburgh is the study of computer technologies, various engineering techniques, and scientific principles combined with the concepts of human cognition in order to design, implement, and manage information systems. The discipline includes technical components such as computer programming, system design, telecommunications, database management systems, and microcomputers, as well as humanistic components such as human factors in system design, human information processing, and interactive system design. The Department of Information Science at Pitt offers three graduate programs -- the Master of Science in Information Science (MSIS), the Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS), and the PhD. It also co-sponsors the Master of Science in Telecommunications (MST) program. Courses are offered both day and evening for the convenience of full- and part-time students. The MSIS is a 36-credit program which can be completed in one year of full-time or two years of part-time study. Several specific course sequences or tracks have been developed for students with specific interests, such as the System Specialist Track, System Designer Track, and Artificial Intelligence Track. The 24-credit CAS program provides a structured, personalized program of studies beyond the masters degree. Designed for people who do not wish to pursue the PhD degree, it allows students to explore a special field of interest or to update skills and competencies. Students in the PhD program will pursue the development of superior scholarship, mastery of a specialized field of knowledge, and the ability to do significant and relevant research. A detailed description of the PhD program is available upon request. | ||||
Facilities: | Students have access to six department computing laboratories housed in the same building where classes are taught. Equipment includes a variety of microcomputers (IBM PCs, compatibles, and Macintoshes), Sun Sparcstations, III's, and II's, and an SGI graphics workstation, all networked within the department to a Sun IV Server. Three labs contain equipment for the telecommunications program including a full array of test equipment, multiple networks, and a private telephone switch. University computer facilities include a VAX cluster running both Ultrix and VMS. The cluster include a VAX 9000, VAX 6250, VAX 8820, VAX 8800, a VAX 9000/210 Vector Processor. A number of VAX 5000's have been added to the network in specialized server roles in support of AFS. The multiple private and public university ethernets are linked by an FDDI backbone which includes such specialized resources as a Cray Y-MP supercomputer, a connection machine, a graphics and CAD laboratory, and nine microcomputer laboratories located in other campus buildings. | ||||

Description: | The User Interface group in the CS department at the University of Virginia performs research in Human-Computer Interaction. The approximately twenty members of the group are made up of undergraduates, graduates and faculty from a variety of fields such as computer science, psychology, and architecture. By working across several fields, the group is well-positioned to address the interdisciplinary nature of HCI research. Past work includes interfaces for research with cerebral palsy (CANDY), and the development of a platform-independent GUI, SUIT. Current research is now focusing on HCI issues in Virtual Environments and in the creation of the Alice software platform for real-time three-dimensional graphics and Virtual Reality. | ||||||||

Description: | The Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech has officially committed to a focus on HCI. To that end, we have recruited Dr. Jack Carroll, a renowned HCI researcher, as department head. This focus does not mean that everyone in CS will be doing HCI research. However, where possible, other research will emphasize HCI aspects and will connect to HCI as appropriate. Further, the Industrial & Systems Engineering Department has a strong program in HCI, and collaboration across the two departments has been occurring since 1979. |
Facilities: | The CS Department has a large number of workstations (many DECstations and Alphas), Macintoshes, and assorted (Next, PC, SGI) special purpose machines. The ISE Department also has numerous workstations, as well as special equipment for persons with physical disabilities, most housed in their Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory. Through funds received from a National Science Foundation Research Infrastructure grant, we are building three laboratories specifically to support HCI-based research: a Usability Methods Research Lab, an Interaction Technology Lab, and an Information Access Lab. |
WWW: | |
Program: | HCI is the principal focus within about 10 areas of specialization in the CS Department. Courses in experimental design, inferential statistics, and HCI are taught across ISE, Statistics, and Psychology Departments. Many MS and PhD degrees in HCI are also granted in ISE in addition to the numbers stated earlier for Computer Science. |

Description: | The WSU department of psychology has offered a strong masters degree in experimental psychology for many years. In 1990, the state board of regents authorized the department to offer the Ph.D. in Engineering Psychology (Human Factors). Although most of the faculty do not focus on HCI, we do have one faculty member (halcomb) who is primarily interested in this area, and two others that work in the area of visual displays and some of what they do might be construed to be HCI. |
Facilities: | The psychology department has many different computer resources available to students. Students working in the HCI lab have access to IBM, VAX, UNIX RISC as well as IBM PC and MAC computers. Each of these platforms has a rich software environment to challenge the learning and research needs and interest of the graduate student. In the HCI lab alone there are 2 MAC Quadra, a 486dx 33Mnz, a VAX 3100, an X terminal with DECNET and TCP access to both VMS and UNIX servers located outside the lab. In addition there are two 386 PCs, video equipment for useability and other studies and full multimedia capability for developing software in the multimedia area. |
