End-User Privacy in Human-Computer Interaction surveys the rich and diverse landscape of privacy in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), describing some of the legal foundations and historical aspects of privacy, sketching out an overview of the body of knowledge with respect to designing, implementing, and evaluating privacy-affecting systems, and charting many directions for future work.

The authors first summarize the research that has been done on the topic over the past three decades, outlining current approaches, results, and trends. They proceed to chart future research trends and point out areas of research that are timely but lagging.

In summarizing thirty years of privacy research in HCI and CSCW, this book helps to shed light on many of the salient issues and will help practitioners and researchers alike explore these complex issues in a more informed and conscious way.
