Книга: Interactive Systems Engineering: Computer engineering, Systems engineering, Interaction design, Software development, Aesthetics, Ethnography, Psychology, ... interaction, User experience design

Interactive Systems Engineering is considered as an interdisciplinary field with computer engineering, systems engineering, interaction design, software development, aesthetic, ethnography, psychology and usability factors involved. It targets current trends in the design and development of interactive systems which virtually includes all types of devices and systems which a human interacts with. It talks about four types of interaction in computer systems: the interaction between a human and computer (also addressed as Human Computer Interaction), interaction between computer systems, and interaction between users through the computer system. Traditionally Human Computer Interaction is divided into three subject: design, user experience, engineering. Interactive System Engineering is more concerned about the latter subject.
