This volume contains selected papers from the 10th
Interdisciplinary Workshop in Informatics and Psychology which had
as its theme Cognitive Aspects in Visual Languages and Interfaces.
Visual languages in general, visual programming languages in
particular, and graphical or visual user interfaces are
increasingly regarded as important improvements for the interaction
between people and artifacts. Visual and graphical user interfaces
have already a history of a number of years in terms of research
and development. The focus on visual languages and visual
programming languages, however, is more recent. The development of
graphical user interfaces was accompanied and reinforced by
psychological research but visual languages are still mainly
inventions of designers and not designed on the basis of principles
derived also from knowledge of psychology or other behavioral
sciences.
The presentations and discussions at the workshop showed
increasing interest in paradigms of visual languages and their
psychological foundation. Visual languages and interfaces must be
seen as means to support and enhance represention, application and
processing knowledge visually. The study of the cognitive aspects
in visual languages and interfaces is thus an important part of
Human-Computer Interaction as a discipline "concerned with the
design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computer
systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena
surrounding them" (definition of HCI in the ACM SIGCHI Curricula
for Human-Computer Interaction). This book will stimulate future
research in the area of Human-Computer Interaction and Visual
Languages.
