	abstract = {For ten years we have joyfully overcome our insecurity with anarchy and successfully conducted the "business" of the Software Psychology Society. Our business has always been science; to improve our understanding of how people use computers. The two-horse team of computer science and psychology usually pulled in the same direction. Sometimes it leaned towards design guidelines, software, and hardware, other times it leaned towards cognitive models, personality theory, and human problem-solving. Mostly our travel was steadied by an appreciation of the importance of empirical studies, data collection, and controlled experiments with an occasional diversion into theoretical models or inspirational system designs. Our destinations have included programming and command language design, human-computer interaction models, menu selection strategies, natural language interaction, software engineering metrics and methods, educational packages, expert system user interfaces, voice communications and conferencing systems, screen readability, use of color, user interface management systems, and text editor design.},
