Nowadays modern information systems (emerging technologies) are increasingly becoming an integral part of our daily lives and has begun to pose a serious challenge for human-computer interaction (HCI) professionals, as emerging technologies in the area of mobile and cloud computing, and internet of things (IoT), are calling for more devotion from HCI experts in terms of systems interface design. As the number of mobile platforms users, nowadays comprises of children’s, elderly people, and people with disabilities or disorders, all demanding for an effective user interface that can meet their diverse needs, even on the move, at anytime and anywhere. This paper, review current articles (43) related to HCI interface design approaches to modern information systems design with the aim of identifying and determining the effectiveness of these methods. The study found that the current HCI design approaches were based on desktop paradigm which falls short of providing location-based service...

The term human-computer interaction (HCI) is simply the study of people, computer technology, and the ways people and computer technology influence each other. One of the major concerns of professional practitioners in the field of HCI is the design of interactive systems for human use. It aims to determine how these computer technologies become more usable and more receptive to the users’ needs. To provide the best possible computer interface within the given constraints, the HCI designers are supposed to design and develop systems that minimize the barriers between human’s cognitive model of what users want to accomplish and the computer’s understanding of the users’ tasks. As computer use became more widespread, the role of computer and information technologies embellishes an important role in various organizations through utilizing different computer based information systems. As these 21st century technologies will confront us with the complete generations of services, the new generations of computer interfaces must equally have to master the fundamental organizational, societal and technological issues and challenges that will affect the effective use and efficient human-computer interactions design. The key goal of this paper is to be able to explore these issues and challenges that will tremendously affect the design and implementation success of HCI.

Most software engineering approaches restrict the user interface to everything a user may perceive or experience. As a result, it is often designed rather independently of the system's functionality. Chances are then that it does not get the attention it deserves. In the approach to software development we sketch, the design of the user interface and the design of the functionality go hand in hand. We give a number of examples of user interface problems, and illustrate how these can be caught early if a more integrated approach is taken. We conclude with an outline of a minimal course on human-computer interaction that we feel should be part of everyone's software engineering curriculum.

HCI is a multidisciplinary fi eld focused on human aspects of the development of computer technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive -not just in developed countries, but worldwide -the need to take a human-centered approach in the design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30 years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and behavioral sciences have worked to identify theory and practice that infl uences the direction of these technologies, and this diverse work makes up the fi eld of human-computer interaction. Broadly speaking it includes the study of what technology might be able to do for people and how people might interact with the technology. The HCI series publishes books that advance the science and technology of developing systems which are both effective and satisfying for people in a wide variety of contexts. Titles focus on theoretical perspectives (such as formal approaches drawn from a variety of behavioral sciences), practical approaches (such as the techniques for effectively integrating user needs in system development), and social issues (such as the determinants of utility, usability and acceptability).

User Interface (UI) is the part of the system that acts as an intermediately between the user and system facilitating the user to interact with the system in an efficient manner. The user interface is everything the end user comes into contact with while using the system physically, perceptually, and conceptually. To the end user, the user interface is the system itself. Hence, usability of a system remains one of the most important quality attribute in determining the total quality of any software system. The challenge of user-interface design is to construct a natural dialog sequence that allows the user and computer to exchange the messages required to carry out a particular task. The user interfaces do vary from system to system and user to user. In this paper we have identified the different issues in designing efficient user interface. All these issues are discussed at length with suitable example.

Systems that are designed better are used better. Even the fastest and most powerful systems are of no use until people understand them and use with ease.HCI plays a vital role in understanding the need of users and designing the user interfaces in accordance with the user requirements. Since there is an alarming increase in internet and World Wide Web users, it is important that usable and useful systems are built so that even the new users without prior knowledge of computers too can use it with ease and are able to benefit from the information that is now available. This paper is an attempt to bring forward the need of good user interface designs and implementation with HCI principles that offer solutions to build better and improved interfaces that are more natural to use and simple to adapt than the existing interfaces.

Enhancing user experience (UX) in interactive systems requires effective human-computer interaction (HCI). The relationship between people and computers has grown in significance as technology progresses, having an impact on many areas of our life. The main ideas and tactics used in HCI to enhance the user experience in interactive systems are examined in this abstract. Understanding the capabilities and constraints of both humans and computers forms the basis of HCI. HCI researchers and designers may develop interactive systems that complement users' mental models and cognitive processes by researching human behavior, cognition, and psychology. Additionally, taking into account the features of the computer system, such as its responsiveness, processing capacity, and interface design, enables the development of systems that are more userfriendly and effective. As a result, the discipline of human-computer interaction works to improve the user experience in interactive systems. Researchers and designers in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) can produce interactive systems that are simple, effective, entertaining, and satisfying for users by comprehending human capabilities, applying user-centered design principles, utilizing interactive techniques and interfaces, integrating multimodal interfaces, and embracing emerging technologies. The continued development of HCI will continue to influence and enhance how people use computers, enhancing user experiences and creating new opportunities for interactive systems in the future.

This paper examines problems and solutions related to the integration of the HCI perspective in software engineering and production. The goal is to bridge the gap between software engineers and HCI professionals by improving mutual understanding of their respective fields of interest. An information system is a complex system that can be modelled by means of the multilevel theory. The user interface design is a design problem without a single proper solution. There is no standard user interface look and feel, so that a multilevel user interface model is proposed. The user interface design is approached through hierarchical levels making it possible to choose between multiple developments methodologies. Case study: A highway automatic toll collection system user interface design proves that the multilevel approach can bridge the gap between developers and designers making team members use their respective strong points.

Most software development approaches and curricular guidelines seem to ignore the fact that in many software systems the user interface is a decisive factor for product quality. As a result, it is often designed rather independently of the system's functionality. Chances are then that it does not get the attention it deserves. In the approach to software development we sketch, the design of the user interface and the design of the functionality go hand in hand. We give a number of examples of user interface problems, and illustrate how these can be caught early if a more integrated approach is taken. We conclude with an outline of a minimal course on human-computer interaction that we feel should be part of everyone's software engineering or computer science curriculum.
