Human-Computer Interaction Framework for Interface Analysis and Design

Digital device ubiquity increased the need for HCI's analysis. The establishment of a structured body of knowledge is essential for the development of more efficient interfaces and interaction experiences. The methodical analysis of interaction's possibilities requires models fostered by robust classification systems. Its development is vital for the establishment of a common language between researchers and designers, towards praxis and innovation (clarifying the relationships between entities and interaction solutions). We propose an HCI Model, supported in agents positioning neutrality, as well as the required concepts and processes' deconstruction. HCI is constructed on a succession of goal-related communicational events, here termed Interactive Processes. We propose an analytical classification system determined by the relation that Interactive Processes establish with each other within an HCI, as well as the ones established between the Interactive Processes of different HCIs, and also by the number of Interactive Processes' Conjugated Pairs developed within an HCI.
