Improving the quality of life for elderly people is an emerging issue within our information society. Good user interfaces have tremendous implications for appropriate accessibility. Though, user interfaces should not only be easily accessible, they should also be useful, usable and most of all enjoyable and a benefit for people. Traditionally, Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) bridges Natural Sciences (Psychology) and Engineering (Informatics/Computer Science), whilst Usability Engineering (UE) is anchored in Software Technology and supports the actual implemen-tation. Together, HCI and UE have a powerful potential to help towards making technology a little bit more accessible, useful, useable and enjoyable for everybody.}}, author = {{Holzinger, Andreas and Ziefle, Martina and Röcker, Carsten}}, booktitle = {{Computers Helping People with Special Needs, Part II}}, editor = {{ Miesenberger, K. and Klaus, J. and Zagler, W. and Karshmer, A.}}, isbn = {{978-3-642-14099-0}}, keywords = {{Human–Computer Interaction, Usability Engineering, User Interfaces, Elderly People, Older Adults}}, location = {{Vienna, Austria}}, pages = {{556--559}}, publisher = {{Springer}}, title = {{{Human-Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering for Elderly (HCI4AGING): Introduction to the Special Thematic Session}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-3-642-14100-3_83}}, volume = {{6180}}, year = {{2010}}, } @article{4500, abstract = {{This paper identifies social and technological concerns, which are likely to emerge through the integration of Ubiquitous Computing technologies in future work environments.
