Two HCII Researchers in Top Five of Publications at all CHI Conferences: For the ACM SIGCHI Conference for 2002, there is a web site that contains "CHI Trivia." One question is: "Who has published the most at CHI conferences (count all pubs, not just full papers)?" The answer has Brad Myers in second with 36 publications and Bonnie John in fifth with 31. Another question is "Who has published the most PAGES at CHI conferences (this puts more weight on full papers)?" For this question, Dr. John is second with 161 pages and Dr. Myers is third with 160 pages. For both questions, William Buxton of the University of Toronto and Alias Research is first. Ames Astrogram, an official publication of the Ames Research Center, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, gives a glowing review of five HCII master's students working at the Human Performance Lab at NASA-Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. Under the direction of Associate Professor Bonnie John, Marianne Berkovich, Jack Zaientz, Andy Yang, Elaine Kwong, and Anne Zahn are helping to develop a new research tool intended to facilitate cognitive psychology basic research and human factors engineering projects. |
