HCI Aspects of Information Visualisation in Industrial Software Systems

Duration: One day
Schedule: Saturday, 20th March 2010, Morning
Fee: Rs. 800
Participants: 10-40

Aim
Research in HCI and visualization has suggested numerous forms of visualization and methods for interacting with consumer software products. In recent years, a number of novel interaction and visualisation techniques being researched and proposed for mass based consumer products by many researchers across the globe. However, methodical understanding of complex interaction of Industrial Software System and effective visualisation techniques for large complex data set has been less explored from HCI perspective. For many years, HCI practitioners are studying readily available interaction and visualisation technique of consumer software products and translating them into use in industrial software. Nevertheless, Industrial environment has different task structure, priorities and set-up as compared to consumer based software and therefore should be treated accordingly. We understand that Human Computer interaction has an important role to play in the industrial environment where primary focus is safety of the users in plant, Security of data and efficiency of the system. Industrial Environment is characterized by the well define Business Process, time bound goals, interdependence between people for goal achievement. Most of the time, the interaction between the user and machine happen in HMI on field device and control room in this environment.

The Goal of workshop is to make aware, learn and envision the HCI in Industrial Software System. The workshop will have talks and discussion on gaps, approaches, challenges and trends in Human computer interaction for User in Industrial Environment. This workshop aims to explore additional aspects of further research areas, such as Scientific Visualization, Data mining, Information Design, Computer Graphics, Cognition Sciences, Perception Theory, or Psychology. The workshop will bring together personal from industry, Academia and Users to fruitful knowledge sharing for usable HCI aspects of Data Visualisation for industrial domain.
