This book contains revised selected papers presented at 4 workshops held at the 16th IFIP TC 13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, INTERACT 2017, in Mumbai, India, in September 2017. The workshops are: Workshop on Dealing with Conflicting User Interface Properties in User-Centered Development Processes (IFIP WG 13.2 and 13.5), Workshop on Cross Cultural Differences in Designing for Accessibility and Universal Design Organizers (IFIP WG 13.3), Human Work Interaction Design Meets International Development (IFIP WG 13.6), and Beyond Computers: Wearables, Humans, and Things - WHAT! (IFIP WG 13.7). The 15 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They show advances in the field of HCI dealing with topics such as human-centered computing, user interface design, evolutionary user interface prototyping, end-user development systems, accessibility design, human work interaction design, and wearables.

'Local Histories/Global Designs' is an extended argument about the '"coloniality' of power. In a shrinking world where sharp dichotomies, such as East/West and developing/developed, blur and shift, Walter Mignolo points to the inadequacy of current practices in the social sciences and area studies.

Using Chinese thought, explores how non-Western thought can structure generally applicable social and political theory. With a particular focus on Chinese thought, this volume explores how, and under what conditions, so-called non-Western traditions of thought can structure generally applicable social and political theory. Reversing the usual comparison between local Chinese application and universal theory, the work demonstrates how Chinese experiences and ideas offer systematic insight into shared social and political dilemmas. Contributors discuss how medieval Chinese understandings of causal heterogeneity can relieve impasses within contemporary historiography, how current economic and social conditions in China respond proactively to the future configuration of world markets, and how hybrid modes of cross-cultural engagement offer new foundations for the enterprise of learning from cultural others. Each chapter works from Chinese perspectives to theorize the location of knowledge, its conditions of production, and the modes through which its content or adequacy is legitimated, challenged, and sustained. Rather than reproducing Eurocentric knowledge production in Chinese form, the mobilization of Chinese thought as a generally applicable body of theory actually breaks down clear boundaries between Chinese and non-Chinese thought.

An approach to socio-technical HCI called Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) emerged around 2005. It has grown steadily, and now is the time for sharing this research with a wider audience. In this book, the HWID approach is used to discuss socio-technical HCI theory, cases, methods, and impact. The book introduces HWID as a multi-sided platform for theorizing about socio-technical HCI work design in the digital age. It presents design cases that illustrate the design of socio-technical relations, provides specific advice for researchers, consultants, and policy makers, and reflects on the open issues related to theorizing about sociotechnical HCI. The benefits of HWID include that it meets the requirement of taking both the social and the technical into account, while focusing strongly on the relationship between the social and the technical. In addition, it is truly international and explicitly considers local cultural, organizational, and technological contexts.

Macrostructures are higher-level semantic or conceptual structures that organize the ‘local’ microstructures of discourse, interaction, and their cognitive processing. They are distinguished from other global structures of a more schematic nature, which we call superstructures. Originally published in 1980, the theory of macrostructures outlined in this book is the result of research carried out during the previous 10 years in the domains of literary theory, text grammar, the general theory of discourse, pragmatics, and the cognitive psychology of discourse processing. The presentation of the theory is systematic but informal and at this stage was not intended to be fully formalized.

The book chronicles exchanges between the author and bloggers on the NCR (National Catholic Reporter) blog site (now discontinued.) Exchanges are over upfront religious/ social issues. While strong and varied views are aired they are respectful-perhaps something of model how to reduce heat and increase light. Traditional religions define faith/ belief doctrinally, dogmatically, and exercise control over belief and behavior. As history shows, faith and politics intertwine and agitate differences hurtful to people and nature. Modern calamities can be redeemed only from within. Our times confront traditions more radically than ever before, namely, To awaken to sustainable perspectives of quantum physical/ psychical evolution. Remembrances from the past advance in genetic codes and are "prospective", open to hope. Leaves are genetic lexicons on the Tree of Life. We need to learn nature's economies of building on patterns of sustainable energy use. Evolution's learning lets us anticipate the future and avoid imprisonment of thought fixation. Evolution is symbiotic intelligence, nature's pattern, God's design. Evolution opens to symbiotic solutions only if culture, religion and politics are open to evolution. Evolution's outcome of processing interdependent life and consciousness doesn't have to be terminally wasteful rather it can uplift, enlighten and expose wrongdoing; and importantly, help end bad habits, choose right thinking and keep hope alive. In regards to thought-processing, latest thinking is a recapitulation (reformulation) of prior thinking. Thought-updating includes reformulations of faith, which is how faith remains vital and religion is redeemed. If one is of a mind to move beyond fixations of faith/ religion, one must admit the inadequacy of belief constrained by fixations and recognize the need for moving on to evolutionary consciousness. The important next step is to take action, not alone, but collaboratively by group study and action-the point of the Evolution Trilogies.

The INTERACT Conferences are an important platform for researchers and practitioners in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) to showcase their work. They are organised biennially by the International Federation for Information Processing Technical Committee on Human–Computer Interaction (IFIP TC13), a committee of 30 member national societies and 9 Working Groups. The 17th IFIP TC13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (INTERACT 2019) took place during 2-6 September 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus. The conference was held at the Coral Beach Hotel Resort, and was co-sponsored by the Cyprus University of Technology and Tallinn University, in cooperation with ACM and ACM SIGCHI. With an emphasis on inclusiveness, these conferences work to lower the barriers that prevent people in developing countries from participating in conferences. As a multidisciplinary field, HCI requires interaction and discussion among diverse people with different interests and backgrounds. This volume contains the Adjunct Proceedings to the 17th INTERACT Conference, and comprises a series of papers from the workshops. It follows the INTERACT Conference tradition of the publication of adjunct proceedings by a University Press which has a connection to the conference itself. This tradition has been established to enhance the outreach and reputation of the University Press chosen. For INTERACT 2019, both the Conference Program Chair, Dr Fernando Loizides, and the Adjunct Proceedings Chair of the conference, Dr Usashi Chatterjee, work at Cardiff University which is the home of Cardiff University Press.
