International Perspectives: IFIP'S TECHNICAL COMMITTEE ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS

I have received a number of requests for more information about IFIP activities that might be related to the interests of the HCI community. To help present a picture of some of what is going on within IFIP, I asked Gordon Davis from the University of Minnesota to provide me with a brief description of the activities of the Technical committee that he chairs. I think that his picture of the activities and history of TC8 will be of interest to many in the SIGCHI community. I want to thank Gordon and Jack Rosenfeld (Editor of the IFIP Newsletter) for providing me with this information.
