Editorial Preface


PsychNology Journal has now arrived to its fifth issue, particularly rich with topics and approaches and entirely devoted to Human-Computer Interaction. After dealing in the previous issues with new kinds of interfaces (Special Issue on Future Interfaces, Vol.1,n.3/4), the Journal broadens its scope now to the whole field of human interaction with technologies, a cherished theme by people interested in the 'other side of technology'. The issue has benefited from the collaboration with SIG-CHI Italy and collects selected papers from the 'HCItaly Conference 2003', including the prestigious contribution from Peter Brusilovsky (University of Pittsburgh), invited speaker in the Italian event and invited author here.
As Editors-in-Chief of PsychNology, we warmly thank Liliana Ardissono and Anna Goy, brilliant scholars at the Department of Computer Science (Turin, Italy), chair persons of HCITALY 2003 and flawless guest editors of this issue of PsychNology.
