Models are common in the human computer interaction (HCI) literature. This paper proposes a classification of HCI models according to who is doing the modelling and who or what is being modelled. This allows similarities and differences between the models to be identified. The classification is then used to consider one of the functions of HCI models - the ways in which they might be used in computer system design.
