8 Preface This book stems from a need to articulate research investigations emphasizing cognitive aspects of human-computer interaction (HCI) in terms of how these aspects influence the use of a geographic information system (GIS). Hopefully, the readers of this book find it a comprehensive and deeper treatment of this topic than available elsewhere. This book consists of papers prepared by participants invited to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "Cognitive Aspects of Human-Computer Interaction for Geographic Information Systems". The ARW was held March 20-25, 1994 on the Island of Mallorca, Spain. Funds for the workshop were provided by the NATO Scientific and Environmental Affairs Division, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) International Programs Division, and the U.S. Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA). The idea for the ARW was conceived at the end of the Initiative 13 Specialist Meeting on User Interfaces for GIS sponsored by the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis in Buffalo, New York in June, At that time, Dr. Timothy Nyerges and Dr. David Mark agreed that they would submit an application for NATO funding, focusing a workshop on cognitive aspects of user interfaces not treated in depth at the Specialist Meeting. A subsequent meeting at Scharding, Austria in 1992, having a component on task analysis and GIS, further motivated the need to bring together researchers focusing on cognitive aspects of human-computer interaction for GIS. It was our intention to create interdisciplinary linkages that were not created as a result of the limited cross-disciplinary participation of the previous two meetings. Through the help of Dr. Robert Laurini and the participants, we were able to put together a top quality participant list from throughout Europe, Canada and the U. S., as well as downunder (Australia). With the help of Max Egenhofer's ARPA grant, we supplemented the NATO and NSF funds so that all participants could be funded. With participants coming from a variety of fields, we were able to gain a broader crossdisciplinary perspective than had been possible before. Although a wide variety of issues presented in this book address many of the central topics concerning cognitive aspects of HCI for GIS, we presume that just as many issues have been left out. Our hope is that the material in this book will clarify and spur on research and development efforts concerned with people understanding the design, development and use of geographic information and GIS. The ARW and this book will have served a purpose if they assist those at the ARW and others reading this book to further enhance and focus their individual as well as collaborative research studies, as well as help those interested in system design issues related to the cognitive aspects of HCI for GIS.

9 Acknowledgments This book is the result of the contributions of many researchers; their efforts and insight are sincerely appreciated. We thank the researchers for preparing manuscripts that delve into the cognitive aspects of HeI for GIS. Weare grateful to all participants for having made time to attend the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Advanced Research Workshop, for sharing their thoughts and constructive criticisms of the way research is and should be done. The rich flow of ideas both during the meeting and during meal time was extremely delightful and enriching. Their continued efforts after the workshop to polish the manuscripts is very much appreciated. We are grateful to local arrangements coordinator Maurici Ruiz Perez for having volunteered to set up the venue. All the meals, particularly those on the field trips, helped give us all a taste of the culture of the Balearic Islands. The island of Mallorca, Spain was a superb setting, mixing seaside walks and mountain excursions for the enrichment of the participants. The congenial setting will be remembered for a long time.. Last and perhaps most importantly, we are grateful to the research agencies who funded the workshop and the book preparation. Three agencies funded the workshop: the NATO Scientific and Environmental Affairs Division (ARW ), the U.S. National Science Foundation International Program Division (INT ), and the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-B389). Additionally, we are grateful to NATO and to the University of Washington for partial funds to make this book possible. The funding support provided us a level of resources allowing us to convene twenty-seven participants in a rather warm and friendly setting on the island of Mallorca, without having to worry about the decline in the U.S. monetary exchange rate, and then assemble the findings into this book. Sincere thanks. xi
