Aims

Overall the aim is to support the integration of HCI and usability into both Indian IT education programmes, and software development projects, mirroring that which occurs in Europe and the USA.

By facilitating discussions and debate in India and elsewhere, and establishing networks between groups of individuals in focused aspects of usability, IESUP will seek to:

1. Promote the inclusion of systems usability and human-computer interaction within university degree courses in Computing and IT;
2. Support the Indian IT industry in being better able to address usability within the software market;
3. Develop an enhanced understanding of the methods for software localisation in the Indian context;
4. Foster greater awareness of the role of interaction design in the development of the next generation of online IT systems and interactive devices.
