Paul was a dear personal friend and mentor to co-Editor in Chief Ping since the late 90s. He was instrumental to THCI’s inception by providing invaluable suggestions and recommendations on THCI’s policies and operation procedures based on his extensive editing and writing experience. He had been an advisor to THCI since 2008, the year THCI was established. Some of his ideas will be part of this journal forever. We are very saddened to lose his friendship, cheerfulness, and always generous and helpful advice.

Developers must define the constituency, select representatives, and determine how the representation relationship is carried out. The authors analyze the different types of representation (“spokesperson,” “example,” and “symbol”) that occur in development projects. These types of representation significantly differ with respect to the why, who, and how of representation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Paper #2: Users as Designers of Information Infrastructures and the Role of Generativity<br><span class=auth><i>Liv Karen Johannessen, Deede Gammon, and Gunnar Ellingsen</i></span></span><span class=auth><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>This case study paper also takes place in the health care context, and illustrates how user and designer roles evolve together.

As an AIS journal, <i>THCI</i> 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Topics of interest to <i>THCI</i> include but are not limited to the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Social media; social computing; virtual communities<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>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<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Information systems usability engineering; universal usability<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of learning <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Gender and information technology<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Issues in HCI education<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The language for the journal is English.
