Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) covers abroard subject area which is concerned with the interaction between people and computers. Understanding interaction between people and computers is now recognised as vital to the design of successful computer systems. This understanding has been further emphasized witht the transition to a client/server environment where the PC with its graphical user interface offers an extended set of controls and possibilities. Also the rapid growth of the Internet plays an important role in this understanding.
The goal of HCI is to facilitate the design, implementation and evaluation of computer systems that satisfy the needs of those who own and use them.
Client/Server is IT in the '90s. With the growth of the PC market it is only natural that one seeks the co-existance betweem them and the already well-established mainframe environment. By doing so, each individual platform is utilised to its fullest extent. With the graphical and multi-media capabilities of the PC, together with the mature database- and transactionservices of the mainframe, we achieve valuable and powerful possibilities.
