The most prestigious award SIGCHI (Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction) gives ------ the CHI Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Tom Moran in the year 2004.

Tom Moran was a founding director of the Palo Alto Research Center in Xerox Corporation. As we know, the Xerox Corp. is widely known for its contribution on print machines and the pioneering work on user interfaces. Especially their invention on mouse and graphical user interface (GUI) have later been popular. As one of the founders of PARC, Tom and his partners devoted their early years of work in the theoretical foundations of HCI and published a culminating paper ------ The Psychology of HCI, which eventually leads to a further effort on the raise of several famous models, includes the GOMS model which we will have an overview of it later this semester.

In fact, that was only part of his contribution during his dramatic life working on HCI. What’s more, the primitive formulation of Xerox Star, the first ‘desktop metaphor’ was based on his design. Based on my simple knowledge, ‘desktop metaphor’ is just like the 3D desktop shown on some web pages. Users can empty their recycle bin by solely putting his or her hand on the 3d icon and make a gesture of ‘upside down’. That might be a funny experience when users pile the icons altogether and push them everywhere afterwards, and that is what HCI actually does.

Tom’s additional research on a variety of realms of HCI also reached a culminate standard in the specific area, for instance, task-mapping and mental models, which involves Dynamic Resource Reservation as well as Psychology. Moreover, he contributed to the world paradigm for CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work), which calls for both tele-communication and coordination.

I’ve looked up some of Tom Moran’s materials online about his career and feat. The most frequently mentioned point is his paper on Psychology and I guess it might be the main reason of his英语论文
