HumanIT 2003, Karlstad University Studies 2003:26
Editor: John Sören Pettersson
ISSN: 1403-8099
ISBN: 91-85019-43-7
The volume HumanIT 2003 consists of contributions from seventeen of the researchers
and the research students involved in HumanIT activities during the last three years.
Some chapters report past activities, some are directed more towards future research
activities. The contributions span from the linguistic details of Internet chats, over
IT-related stress and privacy risk management, to using IT to alleviate poverty in the
large portions of the world where no-one has ever used any kind of IT appliance. The
volume also includes an introduction to the Centre itself.
The Swedish Knowledge Foundation (KK-stiftelsen) has supported HumanIT by a special
Platform grant to Karlstad University during January 2001-August 2003. The mentors of
this Platform project have provided a preface to the above mentioned volume.
