Summary

The chapter proposes a general definition of the concept of framework, together with its derivation and exemplification. The definition and an existing conception are then applied to HCI research.The resulting core HCI research framework comprises discipline (as an academic field of study), general problem (as the design of human–computer interactions), particular scope (as the design of human–computer interactions to do something as desired), research (as the diagnosis of design problems and the prescription of design solutions, as they relate to performance, for the acquisition and for the validation of knowledge to support practices), knowledge (as acquired and validated, supporting practices) and practices (as supported by knowledge, acquired and validated by research). The core framework is sufficiently well specified for its application to approaches.
