General Information

TAMODIA'2007 is the sixth in a series of workshops focused on different models, diagrams, formal notations, and analytic frameworks used to understand human tasks and activities with computers and technology in general.

Understanding user tasks and activities has always been a central part of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research and practice. This has involved techniques borrowed from related areas such as software engineering, theoretical computer science and cognitive science, as well as specialized notations and methods developed to address the unique features of human-computer interaction. In the last few years, task models have also been demonstrated as useful tools for the elicitation of user requirements as they help to solve a great variety of problems related to the lack of coverage, precision, and clarity of user requirements.

Traditional applications of task models have been associated with office work, safety critical interfaces and workflows. This edition of TAMODIA is concerned with the growing complexity of these systems but we also encourage submissions investigating task execution through different context of use (e.g. ubiquitous, pervasive and mobile contexts), systems based on non-trivial tasks (e.g. tangible user interfaces, games and entertainment, applications exploring Semantic Web and Web 2.0 technologies) and analytical frameworks for understanding of physical workplaces and user activity in virtual and augmented reality.

The TAMODIA'2007 post-proceedings are published by in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. TAMODIA'2007 post-proceedings is now available online.
