Abstract
World wide web has evolved from its earlier static form to an interactive multimedia environment. Richness of interactions is rapidly approaching that of the conventional stand-alone applications. Human interactivity with web-based environments has been gaining increasing importance in both web research and e-commerce. Mining and exploring human-web interactions bring numerous challenges as well as opportunities. We will probe into the processes and methods of human-web interaction research ranging from data acquisition techniques, throughout analytics, to applications. Accounting for the latest advances in the field, we will project the prospective future trends.
Objectives
The primary objective of the tutorial is to provide clear, yet reasonably comprehensive, overview of the underlying principles, current approaches, and potential future trends. Knowledge of the state-of-the-art in human-web interaction research should be beneficial to a wide spectrum of individuals studying, utilizing, designing, and/or managing web-based information systems.
Intended Audience
- Students and Educators
- Academics and Researchers
- Practitioners and Managers
The tutorial aims to approach a broad audience including, but not limited to:
