Human Computer Interaction(HCI) is one of the 9 core areas of Computer Science identified by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), which is also the youngest of the 9 areas. Through the past two decades, HCI has developed a lot and some subcommunities are formed to serve their own purposes. Out of these communities, 5 are of particularly interests to me.
They are:
1. ACM SIGCHI
CHI is generally considered the most prestigious in the field of human-computer interaction. It is hosted by ACM SIGCHI, the Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction. CHI has been held annually since 1982 and attracts thousands of international attendees. CHI 2009 will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
2. CSCW Conference
CSCW is short for Computer Supported Collaborative Work. The ACM CSCW conference is a leading forum for presenting and discussing research and development achievements concerning the use of computer technologies to support collaborative activities, as well as the impact of digital collaboration technologies on users, groups, organizations and society. It is held every two years. This year, it will be held in San Diego, CA.
3. ECSCW
The ECSCW is the European version of the ACM CSCW. It is also held every two years, but not in the same year as CSCW. So every year, CSCW researchers can go to either CSCW or ECSCW.
4. Mobile HCI

4. Mobile HCI
HCI is a young area, mobile HCI is even younger. The first Mobile HCI conference was held at Glasgow, Scotland in 1998. Through the last 10 years, it has evolved from a small workshop to a very big conference. It is interesting that most of the participants of this conference are from Europe, also, in the past 10 years, they were all held in Europe. I think American mobile HCI researchers should participate in it more and bring it to the U.S.
Dejin Zhao is a fourth year Ph.D candidate in the CSCL lab, working with Dr. Mary Beth Rosson. Currently, he is working on his Ph.D dissertation. He developed his interests in examining the effect micro blogging has on collaboration work, like information sharing and group awareness.
So far, Dejin has attended many very good conferences, for example, he has attended CHI2007, HICSS 2007. What is more, he is going to attend the CSCW2008 next month in San Diego.
Dejin has also published many papers. Here are some of the papers that he published in the year 2007:
1. Gregorio Convertino, Dejin Zhao, Craig H. Ganoe, John M. Carroll, Mary Beth Rosson: A Role-Based Multiple View Approach to Distributed Geo-Collaboration. HCI (4) 2007: 561-570
2. Dejin Zhao, Mary Beth Rosson, Sandeep Purao: The Future of Work: What Does Online Community Have to Do with It? HICSS 2007: 180
3. Mary Beth Rosson, Hansa Sinha, Mithu Bhattacharya, Dejin Zhao: Design Planning in End-User Web Development. VL/HCC 2007: 189-196
4.John C. Grundy, John G. Hosking, Shuping Cao, Dejin Zhao, Nianping Zhu, Ewan D. Tempero, Hermann Stoeckle: Experiences developing architectures for realizing thin-client diagram editing tools. Softw., Pract. Exper. 37(12): 1245-1283 (2007)
The paper "Design Planning in End-User Web Development" won the best paper award, which is really a great achievement for him.
Dejin view himself as a HCI researcher and designer for collaborative software technology. He believes that the informal communication afforded by enterprise 3.0 would have great impact on collaborative work.
Dejin and I are similar in that we both have some interests in studying IT's role enterprises. Recently, we are brain storming some ideas in studying how micro blog can facilitate the informal collaboration within enterprises. Dejin is very smart, and also he works very hard.

Dr. Mary Beth Rosson is an ACM Distinguished Scientist in Human Computer Interaction. After finishing her Pd.D degree in Human Experimental Psychology at University of Texas, Austin, Texas, she went to IBM T.J Watson Research Center. After that, she went to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and become Professor. In the year 2003, she joined IST of Penn State University.
Since Dr. Rosson's research interests are HCI, CSCW and End User Programming, she published a lot of papers in journals and conferences that fall into this category. Examples of the journals and conferences include CHI(which is a top conference in HCI), CSCW, Communications of the ACM, ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing.
She also served in some very prestigious conferences:
Her Recent or Significant Professional Activities are
1. General Chair, CHI 2007
2. Doctoral Symposium Chair, DIS 2006
3. Program Committee and Graduuate Symposium Mentor, VL/HCC 2006
4. General Chair, OOPSLA 2000
The courses Dr. Rosson has taught are:
1. Integrated Theories and Methods in IST (IST 501)
2. Human-Computer Interaction (IST 521)
3, HCI Theories and Frameworks (IST 522)
