The Research School for Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) was founded in 1996 with support from The Foundation of Strategic Research (SSF). HMI consists of two centers in Stockholm and Linköping, with the goal to improve Swedish competence by educating specialists in HMI, and bringing HMI research in Sweden to a high international level.

High-quality HMI is of prime importance for a successful competition in a global market for IT products and Real-Time Systems. HMI knowledge has world-wide become a strategic investment both for large industries and SME's. In order to maintain a high level of usable IT-based consumer products and industrial systems Swedish industry has to increase its frontline knowledge of computer-based artefacts and media from a human perspective, building on insights in computer science, usability and user-oriented design, as well as the aesthetic arts.

The research school arranges regular workshops for the doctoral students, scholars and industry. We are now happy to invite all interested parties to this year's Spring Symposium, devoted to a summary of the state of the art in the area of Human-Machine Interaction and to a review of challenges for the future.

Welcome!
