Examples of multimodal systems discussed are Bharati, an Indian initiative for internet access, and ITR, a project at the University of Illinois. The future of HCI is predicted to involve more natural interfaces using combinations of modalities.

Semantic web technologies pop up frequently in current computer science research, in particular in fields related to HCI. Although the semantic web itself has not yet been fully realized, the supporting technologies are mature enough to be used for other applications. The semantic web initiative centers around knowledge representation and automated reasoning about knowledge. This concept is general enough to find its use in many different fields (ambient intelligence, service oriented computing, etc.). I will give an overview of the basic concepts of the semantic web. Important semantic web standards such as RDF, RDFS and OWL will be covered as well. Presented during a HCI chit-chat session at our institute on September 8th, 2006.

Knowing of non-functional requirements helps you to avoid of customers say „You should thing better!“.

Non-functional requirements describe how a system will operate rather than what it will do. They include qualities like usability, reliability, performance, and supportability. Usability measures how easy a system is to use, learn, and adapt to user needs. Reliability refers to the likelihood of failures and is measured by metrics like mean time between failures. Performance requirements specify the system's efficiency and response times. Supportability involves how easily a system can be maintained, internationalized, and adapted to changes.

The document discusses various input and output devices used in computer systems. It describes keyboards, mice, touchscreens, displays, printers and scanners.
