One of my ‘A History of HCI in 15 Papers’* The January 2010 issue of Interacting with Computers (Volume 22 Issue 1 / http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.intcom.2009.11.005) is a Festschrift Special Issue for John Long. This is a special issue dedicated to John because, as the editors (Alistair Sutcliffe and Ann Blandford) say: John Long is one of the founders of our discipline in the UK and contributed significantly to the emergence of HCI in the international arena.
