Software has a strong interest in UIMSs and distributed software management tools. CORPS, which has links to faculty in the School of Management, provides a strong focus on social and organizational analysis of computerization. New faculty bring CSCW and HCI interest to CORPS; some newly admitted students are working in these areas. %Facilities The UCI ICS Department has: * about 250 workstations and servers (Sun) * about 350 PCs and Macs * about 175 terminals * about 90 printers * about 250 ethernet nodes * about 2500 MIPS * about 50GB Disk storage capacity (not including PCs and Macs) * two Sequents, one Maspar, one Hypercube Computer, and 6 LISP machines %SECTION HCI Program %Contact Jonathan Grudin %Title Associate Professor %Address Information and Computer Science Department University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92717 USA %Phone +1-714-856-8674 %Fax +1-714-856-4056 %Email grudin@ics.uci.edu %Program HCI is an increasingly active area of interest within CORPS and Software, two of the 5 major areas of specialization in the department. %SECTION HCI Faculty %Name Jonathan Grudin %Title Associate Professor %Degree Ph.D., 1981, UC-San Diego, Cognitive Psychology %Phone +1-714-856-8674 %Email grudin@ics.uci.edu %Interests + * Computer-supported cooperative work * History and practice of interactive software development * Empirical methods %Publications + * Grudin, J.

The focus is on the technical issues in user interfaces, such as object specification, constraint specification and maintenance, control paradigms, separation of concerns, and support infrastructures (networks and operating systems). Multi-media issues are also discussed. %SECTION HCI Courses %Title Distributed Information %Instructor Mark Ackerman %Frequency Biennial %Times_Taught 1 %Enrollment 15 %Format Lecture + exercises + project %Tools %Text + - Readings %Description Information environments for distributed information retrieval and interfaces, user interface and CSCW issues in distributed information, social definition and use of information. %SECTION HCI Courses %Title Human-Computer Interaction %Number ICS 205 %Instructor Jonathan Grudin %Frequency Annual %Times_Taught 2 %Enrollment 20 %Format seminar with lectures and discussion %Tools %Text + * Baecker, Grudin, Buxton, & Greenberg (Eds.)

Readings in Human-Computer Interaction %Description This course surveys current research in human-computer interaction, focusing on the issues, methods, and tools used in evaluating and designing interfaces. It covers the contexts in which interactive software is developed and used, and includes discussion of recently emerging areas such as multimedia, hypertext, groupware, virtual reality, and ubiquitous computing. %SECTION HCI Courses %Title Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Groupware %Number ICS 253 %Instructor Jonathan Grudin %Frequency Biennial %Times_Taught 1 %Enrollment 12 %Format seminar with lectures, discussion, videotapes %Tools %Text + * Baecker (Ed.), 1993. Readings in Groupware and CSCW %Description This course surveys the diverse work appearing in this emerging area. Although the technology, groupware, is described, the focus of the course is not on technical implementation issues, but rather is on the organizational contexts in which computer support is developed and used and on the social issues that arise.
