Announcing the Publication of
Volume 6 Issue 2 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction
(http://thci.aisnet.org)
As the summer heat sets in here in the Northeast US, we are happy to announce the steamy second issue of our 6th year of publishing AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction. The new issue is now available on the AIS e-library site (at http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/vol6/iss2/.
We are also happy to welcome a new Senior Editor: Paul Benjamin Lowry from City University of Hong Kong has agreed to step up to the SE board. Welcome, Paul, and we look forward to enjoying many more years of his conscientious and supportive editorial assistance to the journal.
THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library at http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci. To increase awareness and readership, THCI is still freely available to everyone during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website,<http://aisel.aisnet.org/> including how to submit. We would like to thank AIS<http://home.aisnet.org/> Council for its continued support of the journal. And as always, we are happy to announce that we have published the journal on time for all 22 issues thus far.

This issue has two articles:
Article 1: by Adela Chen, Colorado State University and Elena Karahanna, University of Georgia
"Boundaryless Technology: Understanding the Effects of Technology-Mediated Interruptions across the Boundaries between Work and Personal Life"
Given all the interruptions all of us face on a continuing basis, it is striking that few articles have tackled this important subject. Chen and Karahanna subdivided interruptions into personal interruptions facing you at work and work interruptions that face you at home. Work to Nonwork (WTN) interruptions are those work interruptions facing you at home, and Nonwork to Work (NTW) interruptions are those from your personal life that face you at work. Their findings are that those interruptions are not symmetrical, as only those occurring in your personal life create work-life conflict. However, both interruptions impair your ability to accomplish your goals in the personal setting as well as the work setting.
Here is the abstract:
This study examines how technology-mediated cross-domain interruptions affect people's work and personal life on two aspects: level of conflict between work and personal life and people's ability to fulfill their responsibilities in each of the two domains. Based on the direction of an interruption, we differentiate between two types of cross-domain interruptions: work-to-nonwork (WTN) and nonwork-to-work (NTW). Drawing on interruption research and work-life interaction literature, we conceptualize distinct effects of the two interruption types on outcome variables. Data were collected through surveys from 137 knowledge workers. Results reveal asymmetric effects of WTN and NTW interruptions on work and personal life. The frequency of WTN interruptions is found to be positively associated with work-life conflict and negatively associated with fulfillment of personal life responsibilities, whereas the frequency of NTW interruptions significantly affects fulfillment of work responsibilities but not work-life conflict. Thus, results point to asymmetrically permeable boundaries between work and personal life. Results also suggest that the effects of WTN interruptions on fulfillment of personal life responsibilities are partially mediated by WTN conflict. The study concludes with implications for research and practice.

Article 2: by Soussan Djamasbi, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
"Eye Tracking and Web Experience"
Eye tracking is an intriguing technology but its costs can be prohibitive for some of us. Therefore, it is important as a first step to become familiar with eye-tracking tools before making a large investment. Soussan Djamasbi has provided a tutorial that provides a close-up glimpse into how the technology works and what we can learn by using it. Soussan provides some original, never-before-seen images to clarify for us the scientific basis of eye-tracking as well as illustrating heat maps and demonstrating their utility. This type of article is rare in the literature and we appreciate her leveraging her substantial eye-tracking experience to provide it for THCI.
Here is the abstract:
User experience research aims to understand a user's point of view. Because eye tracking allows us to literally see through a user's eyes, it can serve as a valuable tool in web studies, particularly in web design and development. To understand how eye tracking can be pivotal in website studies, this paper scientifically explains how the human visual system works and how eye tracker technologies can record what we register with our eyes. It then explains how web design can benefit from the data that eye tracking studies deliver. Finally, the paper discusses trends for eye tracking in future web experience research."

Call for Papers
==================
THCI is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. As an AIS journal, THCI is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues. The editorial objective is to enhance and communicate knowledge about the interplay among humans, information, technologies, and tasks in order to guide the development and use of human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities.
Topics of interest to THCI include but are not limited to the following:
* The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction
* User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types
* Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization
* Social media; social computing; virtual communities
* Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction
* User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains
* Integrated and/or innovative approaches, guidelines, and standards or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction, evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems
* Information systems usability engineering; universal usability
* The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity
* Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units
* Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of learning
* Gender and information technology
* The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction
* Issues in HCI education
The language for the journal is English. The audience includes international scholars and practitioners who conduct research on issues related to the objectives of the journal. The publication frequency is quarterly: 4 issues per year to be published in March, June, September, and December. The AIS Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction (SIGHCI, http://sigs.aisnet.org/SIGHCI/) is the official sponsor for THCI.
