2024 CBI Human-Computer Interaction History Award Call

12 Dec 2023

      *2024 CBI Human-Computer Interaction History Award Call *(for
nominations/self-nominations)

The way people and computers work together has been the subject of intense
study since the beginnings of the computer age in the early 1950s. A
discipline, known as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), eventually emerged
to formalize this research, composed of computer scientists, psychologists,
cognitive scientists, artists, and many others. Since these early days of
focus on the user experience, Human-Computer Interaction has helped create
and shape our ever evolving digital world—from early graphics, networking,
and graphical user interfaces to the Web, mobile, the Internet of Things,
AI, and the Cloud.

The *Annual CBI Ben Shneiderman Award in Human-Computer Interaction
History* recognizes
excellence in advancing the history/social study (focus must be on change
over time) of HCI. The award is for a published book, article, documentary,
podcast, website, or other media on HCI’s past.

*CBI Human-Computer Interaction History Award. *Eligibility for the 2024
Award is for work (book, article, documentary, podcast, website, or other
media) published in 2021, 2022 or 2023. It includes a $500 Prize.
