This annual conference serves as a multi-disciplinary forum for the dissemination of information on the research, development, and applications on all topics related to the use, applications and societal and legal aspects of the Web in its broadest sense, i.e. encompassing all modern tools to peruse the Internet. This conference is a must for all who plan to use the Internet for informational, communicational or transactional applications or, who are currently running or planning to run servers on the Internet. We invite you to attend the WebNet-96 conference and submit proposals for papers, panels, tutorials, workshops, and demonstrations/posters. All proposals are reviewed for inclusion in the conference program. Major Topics ------------ Novel Applications of the Web Collaboration Using the Web The Web as Teaching Tool Electronic Publishing and the Web The Web as Marketing Tool Offering Services on the Web New Server Technologies for the Web New Navigational Tools for the Web Integration of Web Applications and Services Country Specific Developments The Web and Distance Education Net-based Multimedia/Hypermedia Systems Computer-Human Interface (CHI) Issues New Graphic Interfaces for the Web The Web and 3D Virtual Reality on the Web Intelligent Agents on the Web Directory Services on the Web Network Software for Large Data Bases Security and Privacy on the Web Charging Mechanisms for the Web Legal and Societal Aspects of the Web Courseware development for the Web Building Knowledge Bases on the Web Care and Feeding of Web Servers Educational Multimedia on the Web Browsers,Searchers and Other Tools Feedback Mechanisms on the Web Information for Presenters -------------------------- Details of presentation formats are given on the following pages. The general principles applying to all are: o All communication will be with the principal presenter who is responsible for communicating with co-presenters of that session. o The conference will attempt to secure all equipment needed for presenters. However, where special equipment is needed, presenters may need to provide their own. o All presenters must pay the registration fee. Early registration fee will be approximately $350 (US) with a $30 (US) reduction for Web Society members. Proceedings ----------- Accepted papers will be published by the Web Society in the WebNet-96 proceedings book and CD-ROM. These publications will serve as major sources of information for the Web community, indicating the current state of the art, new trends and new opportunities. In addition, selected papers will be invited for publication in Journals cooperating with the Web Society, particularly JUCS, the Journal of Universal Computer Science (see http://www.iicm.tu-graz.ac.at/Cjucs_root). Conference Background --------------------- WebNet is the annual conference of the WebSociety that was founded in 1995 out of a concern that an organisation addressing the application aspects of the Web and representing a lobby for Web users independent of specific platforms and without the domination of commercial organisations was needed. The WebSociety complements existing other bodies such as the Internet Society and W3C. The former is, by definition, more concerned with providing global Internet services than anything else and the latter is specifically oriented towards one particular system WWW. The Web Society and hence WebNet takes a more general view, dealing with a variety of modern Internet tools and their integration including services such as Gopher, WWW, Hyper-G, WAIS, directory services, FTP, email and cooperative applications and novel approaches from Hot Java to VRML, from Web compatible teaching modules to 3D interfaces.

She interviewed practitioners of conventional and alternative medicine--physical, occupational, and massage therapists, psychologists, ergonomics researchers, research scientists, equipment developers, and computer users. Stigliani's findings are presented in her breakthrough guide to healthy computing, "The Computer User's Survival Guide: Staying Healthy in a High Tech World," just released by O'Reilly & Associates. The most comprehensive computer health manual, it is also the first to incorporate a holistic approach to dealing with computer users' complex, interrelated, and proliferating ailments. "This is the most comprehensive, well thought-out and user-friendly book I have read on RSI," said Ruth Lowengart, MD, MSOM, Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. "Joan Stigliani brings in information on the cutting edge of what we are just beginning to understand about these disorders." "The Computer User's Survival Guide" looks squarely at all the factors that affect home and work computer users' health, including positioning, equipment, work habits, lighting, stress, radiation, and general health. Through this guide readers will learn: > a continuum of neutral postures that they can utilize at different work tasks > how radiation drops off with distance and what electrical equipment is responsible for most exposure > how modern office lighting is better suited to working on paper than on a screen, and what they can do to prevent glare > simple breathing techniques and stretches to keep their body well oxygenated and relaxed, even when they sit all day > how reading from a screen puts unique strains on their eyes and what kind of vision breaks will keep them most productive and rested > whats going on "under the skin" when their hands and arms spend much of the day mousing and typing, and how they can apply that knowledge to prevent overuse injuries This is not a book of gloom and doom. It is a user's guide to protecting oneself against health risks from the computer, while boosting effectiveness and enjoyment of work. It is a most practical guide, as well. As Caroline Rose, editor of the RSI Network said, "A single one of its many useful tips can make a world of difference in the reader's physical and mental well-being." # # # The Computer User's Survival Guide By Joan Stigliani 1st Edition October 1995 296 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-030-9, $21.95 US ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Oct 95 20:57:20 0000 From: Benjamin Bratton <6500benb@UCSBUXA.UCSB.EDU> Subject: File 4--SPEED: Call For Papers Thought you might be interested in this, pass it around... SPEED: AN ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY, MEDIA AND SOCIETY ----------------------------------- http://www.arts.ucsb.edu/~speed email: _speed_@alishaw.ucsb.edu ----------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS, October 1995 _SPEED_ provides a forum for the critical investigation of technology, mediaz and society. Our intention is to contribute toward a democratic discourse of technology and media, one that is always focused upon the material conditions of life that technologies and media constitute and demand, and yet does not lose sight of the power of ideas to change those conditions. We feel that as media of various kinds become more ubiquitous, what it means to live with and talk about a "medium" changes and expands, and so do the critical vocabularies of interpreting what those transformations indicate. Our primary goal in that effort is to foster a cross- fertilization of ideas between communities of people in the "academy" and "industry" too often separated, not by interest or common concern, but by artificially imposed disciplinary and organizational boundaries. We think that _SPEED_ is a promising step toward making these institutional boundaries more permeable, and a critical politics of "mediated sociality" more powerful. Upcoming issues for which we are currently reviewing abstracts and submissions: SPEED 1.3: AIRPORTS AND MALLS Publicity, it seems, is always a matter of circulation. Likewise, circulation finds itself as a matter of publicity. What then is the circulation of publicity in a "private space," like a mall or airport? Where is the social located, if at all? Is it completely a matter of trajectory, velocity and disappearance; is it or is it not an even more sinister militarization of what used to be called the "civilian sector?" "Malls," whether near a highway off-ramp, or an "information superhighway" off-ramp, are more than architectural generica, they are nodes in the global circulation of commodities, culture and community. Malls as "places," are where some people go to be amongst the fruits of other people's invisible labor. "Airports" as "places," are where some people go to be themselves circulated amongst networks of global circulation, as the content of transportation-as-medium. We are currently reviewing abstracts for inclusion in a special transmission of _SPEED_ (non-fiction, fiction, both; www-specific projects encouraged) that will help answer some of these questions and conundrums. SPEED 1.4: SPECIAL ISSUE: ON PAUL VIRILIO We are currently reviewing abstracts and proposals for articles for a future transmission of _SPEED_ (WWW-specific projects encouraged) on the critical significance of the work of Paul Virilio. In extremely diverse arenas Virilio's cybernetic systems theory of the social has arranged the horizons of wildly unlikely moments of questioning. As his vision of interpretation/accusation crosses the spectrum of disciplinary knowledges (while being at "home" in none), we now hear literary critics speaking of the military origins of the city- state, newscasters phrasing a "Nintendo War," historians of science commenting on the phenomenology of electronic banking, architectural theorists conceiving "the velocity" of airport space, and computer industry professionals discussing the political history of the film projector. Certainly these peculiar arrangements are not to be entirely credited to (blamed on?) Virilio, but they do suggest that his vocabulary is significant beyond the relatively narrow concerns of a "Virilio Studies." We hope, therefore, to both interrogate and expand what it is possible to make "Virilio" say. ----------------------------------- ** TO SUBSCRIBE TO _SPEED_, send e-mail to _SPEED_@alishaw.ucsb.edu with "subscribe" in the subject header.
