This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 4th IFIP
WG 9.7 Conference on the History of Nordic Computing, HiNC 4, held
in Copenhagen, Denmark, in August 2014. The 37 revised full papers
were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this volume.
The papers focus on innovative ICT milestones that transformed the
nordic societies and on the new ideas, systems and solutions that
helped creating the welfare societies of today, in particular
solutions and systems for public services, e.g., tax, social
benefits, health care and education; solutions and systems for the
infrastructure of the society, e.g., banking, insurance,
telephones, transport and energy supply; and technologies and IT
policies behind the major IT milestones, e.g., user centric
innovation, programming techniques and IT ethics. They are
organized in topical sections on IT policy, infrastructure, public
services, private services, telesystems, health care, IT in
banking, transport and IT technology.
IFIP's Working Group 2.7(13.4)* has, since its establishment in
1974, con centrated on the software problems of user interfaces.
From its original interest in operating systems interfaces the
group has gradually shifted em phasis towards the development of
interactive systems. The group has orga nized a number of
international working conferences on interactive software
technology, the proceedings of which have contributed to the
accumulated knowledge in the field. The current title of the
Working Group is 'User Interface Engineering', with the aim of
investigating the nature, concepts, and construction of user
interfaces for software systems. The scope of work involved is: -
to increase understanding of the development of interactive
systems; - to provide a framework for reasoning about interactive
systems; - to provide engineering models for their development.
This report addresses all three aspects of the scope, as further
described below. In 1986 the working group published a report
(Beech, 1986) with an object-oriented reference model for
describing the components of operating systems interfaces. The
modelwas implementation oriented and built on an object concept and
the notion of interaction as consisting of commands and responses.
Through working with that model the group addressed a number of
issues, such as multi-media and multi-modal interfaces,
customizable in terfaces, and history logging. However, a
conclusion was reached that many software design considerations and
principles are independent of implemen tation models, but do depend
on the nature of the interaction process.
