Advances in Human Computer Interaction

Since the beginning of ESPRIT Programme in 1984, the Human Computer Interface has been the subject of attention, in terms of technology development and utilisation of those technologies in various applications in the fields of Information Processing Systems, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, and Office and Business Systems. This volume presents advanced human-computer interaction technologies and their applications. It includes 28 technical papers covering a range of application areas, such as speech processing and interfaces, remote data access by multisensors, data fusion, medical surveillance, telephone and car applications, air traffic and train control systems, monitoring systems, and decision support. Human comfort and security aspects in dealing with computers are discussed and implemented systems using new interaction technologies are presented. The book is rather applicative than theoretical and addresses new constructive aspects of comfortable human-computer interaction.
