Abstract

The ACM Special Interest Group on Computer and Human Interaction (CHI) has flourished for ten years. The lack of direct interaction between CHI and the discipline of Software Engineering was not entirely an oversight: the two groups have distinct missions. However, a natural bridge is forming from both sides. Considerable work has appeared in CHI conferences and journals that could interest one or another segment of Software Engineering. The potential overlap grew with the emergence in the mid-1980s of a Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) focus. CSCW has been dominated by contributors from the CHI community, particularly in the United States. This essay is intended to guide a software engineer into the CHI and CSCW literature. It begins with a CHI perspective on the history of interaction between software engineering and human-computer interaction.
