Human-computer communication is concerned with ``the efficient transfer of information between humans and machines via various human-like sensors and motors, and with structures that reflect human conceptualisations. (Denning P.J. et al., Computing as a discipline, Communication of the ACM, (31)1, Jan. 1989).'' Human-computer communication encompasses, amongst other things, the two areas commonly known as computer graphics and human computer interaction. These two areas have traditionally been closely related and the term human-computer communication integrates their joint focus. The term also very naturally extends to include multimedia.
We wrote a paper about it for Interact97.
