HUMAN-CENTERED COMPUTING

Human-Centered Computing is focused on understanding how to make computational technologies more useable and how computational technologies affect society. Human-Centered Computing is research that focuses on humans first and then technology. Technology is integrated into human life as a tool. "Human-Centered Computing addresses problems that the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) does not generally address. In HCC the focus is not only on interaction, but also on the design of algorithms and systems with a human focus from start to finish." (HCM 2006) "Research in human-centered computing has multiple goals. Some researchers focus on understanding humans, both as individuals and in social groups, by focusing on the ways that human beings adopt, adapt, and organize their lives around computational technologies. Others focus on developing new design strategies for computational artifacts... Human-centered design of computational tools attempts to address problems that..
