- Fifth Annual Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology
-
- Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH & SIGCHI
- November, 1992, Monterey, California
-
- Paper and Panel submissions due on May 1, 1992
-
- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
- ======================
-
- UIST'92, the Fifth Annual Symposium on User Interface Software and
- Technology, is the premier forum on innovative engineering of the
- human-computer interface. The symposium brings together user-interface
- researchers and practitioners with an interest in techniques, tools,
- and technology for constructing quality, innovative user interfaces.
- The intimate size, single track, and comfortable surroundings make
- this symposium an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and
- implemen- tation experiences. Papers and panel proposals are sought on
- a wide range of user interface topics.
-
- PAPERS
- ======
-
- Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality papers about research to
- enhance user interface functionality or to improve the user interface
- engineering process. Appropriate topics include but are not limited to:
-
- - Techniques for advanced interaction functionality, such as
- multimedia, innovative displays, unconventional input devices, and
- highly interactive interfaces.
-
- - Innovative software architectures for engineering user interfaces,
- including those associated with user interface management systems,
- window systems, toolkits and knowledge-based interfaces.
-
- - Tools and techniques for designing, constructing and evaluating
- user interfaces, including automated tools and object-oriented
- techniques.
-
- - Interfaces with special operating system requirements, such as
- real-time, multi-user, multi-input, multi-threaded, and distributed
- interfaces.
-
- - Interfaces for difficult or challenging applications, such as large
- and/or complex information sets.
-
- - Interfaces for users with special needs.
-
- - The internationalization of the interface.
-
- Videotapes of implementations are encouraged. We are exploring the
- possibility of including video with the conference proceedings.
- However, papers must stand on their own and will be reviewed
- independently from submitted videotapes.
-
- Submissions must present original research relevant to the symposium.
- Papers should be at most 5000 words or 10 ACM conference pages.
- Videotapes should be at most 8 minutes long. The submission should
- consist of 6 copies of a paper, 2 copies of a videotape (if there is
- one), and a cover letter indicating the primary author's name,
- affiliation, address, phone number and email address (if at all
- possible). The title page should include an abstract (less than 200
- words) and keywords. The cover letter should also indicate whether the
- submitted video can be part of the proceedings. Contact the program
- chair for an author's packet.
-
- Submissions must be received by the program chair no later than May 1,
- 1992. FAX cannot be used for submission. Authors will be notified of
- acceptance by July 14, 1992.
-
- PANELS
- ======
-
- Panels offer an opportunity to exchange ideas in an atmosphere that
- reflects the workshop origins of the symposium. Suggested topics are
- the same as for submitted papers. Of special interest would be panels
- about "success stories" - verifiably successful user interfaces and
- the techniques and tools by which they were developed, and panels
- about the use of computers for the elderly and the physically
- disabled. We also encourage submissions from outside North America.
-
- Panel selection will be based on the importance, originality, focus,
- and timeliness of the topic, as well as the potential for informative
- (and even controversial) discussion. Panels should have no more than
- five members, including the chair, and should be planned to last from
- one to one and-one-half hours. No more than half of the total time will
- be allowed for position statements by panelists.
-
- A panel proposal should be no more than two pages in length. It should
- include:
-
- - A description of the panel topic, including why this topic is
- important to symposium attendees.
-
- - A brief position statement of each panelist.
-
- A cover sheet should include the panel title, length of time desired
- for the panel, panelists' names and affiliations, and the panel
- organizer's name, affiliation, address, e-mail address, and phone
- number.
-
- Submissions must be received by the panels chair no later than May 1,
- 1992. Authors will be notified of acceptance by July 14, 1992. May 1,
- 1992
