New Insights into Human-Computer Interaction

Dear Colleagues,

The computer is an advanced tool that models and simulates the complex real world. Such a matching between reality and this virtual model requires humans to interact in a natural way with both. Processing resources are ubiquitous, and user interaction can be achieved through a variety of channels of language, graphics, voice, gestures, and sensors.

The element of human interaction, when inserted into the processing loop, allows the combination of high-performance computation with the analytical capacity of the human brain. Moreover, interaction with the virtual model offers new and interesting features, such as time extension and compression, multidimensional space exploration, various and repeated simulations, visual analysis, and assisted strategies and convergence towards the optimal solution.

The current challenges in this field are diverse and are concerned with defining and experimenting with new concepts, development methodologies, architectures, devices, techniques and styles of interaction, and intelligent and adaptive interfaces.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present new proposals and experimental results in the field of human-computer interaction, and highlight the broad spectrum of development phases from concepts and theory, analysis, architectural solutions, design, and implementation, to evaluation and experimental validation.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
