Call for papers and session proposals
THE USER INTERFACE
1989 American Society for Information Science Mid-Year Meeting
May 21-24, 1989, San Diego
THe 18th ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, May 21-24, 1989, in San Diego,
California, will present the state-of-the art in the design of
interfaces for information retrieval systems, online public
access catalogs and other information technologies. We will
identify major tendencies, trends, influences, and approaches
in interface design and discuss their significance for the systems
of the future.
Particular focus will be placed on the major activities involved
in the design of interfaces, such as tools and techniques for
interface design, user models and their application, and the
process of task and interaction analysis.
Program ideas and contributions are invited in all related areas.
Discussions and explorations of existing interfaces, particularly
those that imply lessons for other designers, are also welcome.
Major themes in *The User Interface*:
Tools
- Rapid prototyping systems
- Design environments
- User interface development and management tools
Natural Language Interfaces
- Interfaces that allow natural language input by users
Artificial Intelligence Approaches
- Expert systems and knowledge-based approaches
Interface styles
-Command, menu, or direct manipulation: their uses and advantages
Adaptive-Adaptable Systems
- Systems or systems features that are user-modifiable or that adapt
to specific users
Usability
- Evaluation and testing of interfaces and interface ideas
Guidelines and Standards for Interfaces
- International, national, or in-house
Interested presenters are encouraged to expand on any of these theme
ideas. Acceptance will be based on the relevance of the topic,
substantive nature of the presentation, and clarity.
Proposals should take the following form:
Contributed papers: Submit the title and a 250-word abstract
Demonstration proposals: Submit a written description of a
demonstration of a particular system related to the meeting topic.
Include a statement of the equipment requirements to support the
proposed demonstration.
Panel discussion proposals: Submit a one-page description of a
topic for a panel discussion and a list of possible speakers to
address the topic.
For fullest consideration, all proposals should be submitted by
November 21, 1988. Notification of acceptance or rejection will
be made by January 3, 1989.
All proposals and inquiries should be submitted to:

Artificial Intelligence Society of New England
Annual Meeting
November 11-12, 1988
T. J. Watson Center for Information Technology, 4th Floor
Brown University
Providence, Rhode Island
The Annual Meeting of the Artificial Intelligence Society of New
England will be held on the evening of Friday, November 11th, and on
November 12th, 1988 at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
This year, we will have a different format from previous years.
Instead of a single series of presentations, there will be parallel
workshops where researchers with similar interests can explore topics
in-depth. There will be four workshops, two each in the morning and
afternoon, on the Saturday of the meeting.
Within each workshop, there will be short presentations by students,
followed by a discussion led by a faculty member. The topics of the
workshops will be selected from the following:
Automated Reasoning
Connectionism
Formal Theories
Knowledge Representation
Learning
Natural Language
Planning
Robotics and Vision
Reasoning about Uncertainty
Our guest speaker this year will be Ramesh Patil from MIT, who will
speak on ``Artificial Intelligence and Medical Diagnosis''. We have
just moved into a new building at Brown, and we are excited to have
everybody come and join us in celebrating Friday after the talk.
The tentative schedule of events is as follows:
Friday, November 11
7:30PM -- 8:30PM Invited Talk Ramesh Patil, MIT
8:30PM -- General Merriment
Saturday, November 12
9:30AM -- 12:30PM Workshops
12:30PM -- 2:00PM Lunch
2:00PM -- 5:00PM Workshops
As usual, sleeping accomodations will be provided by the host
institution's students and faculty -- bring a sleeping bag.
The current list of invitees includes BBN, BU, Brandeis, Dartmouth,
GE, Harvard, ITT, MIT, MITRE, NYU, On Technology, Rochester,
Schlumberger, Thinking Machines, Tufts, UConn, UMass (Amherst), UNH,
Vassar, and Yale. If you can think of somebody else to invite,
please pass on this note or let us know.
So that we have an idea of how many people to expect, we would like
to ask that you contact us at the address below if you would like to
attend. Please be sure to include your name, telephone number,
electronic mail address, and whether or not you need sleeping
accomodations. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to
contact us.
