Call for Proposals All abstracts will be reviewed by three independent referees from the program committee. Technical papers: Technical papers can be presented in two formats; verbal presentation or interactive presentation. Interactive presentations are displayed in a booth. The Program Committee will choose one of presentation formats considering the author's preference. Posters/Demonstrations: The poster session is designed for the presentation of late-breaking results and on-going research. Demonstrations are designed for work which can be more effectively presented via demonstration. Equipment needed for demonstrations is the responsibility of the author. Tutorials: Tutorials describe recent work on significant topics involving human-computer interaction. Tutorial proposals should state the objective, content, target audience and include a biosketch about the presenter. Panels: Each panel provides an opportunity for an exchange of views among panel members and the audience on a specific topic of human-computer interaction. A panel consists of presentations by the panelists and open discussion. Panel proposal should include title/author and an abstract of each presentation, a list of all panelists and chair.

Pacifico YOKOHAMA, hotel, convention and exhibition complex, where HCI '95 will be held, is found in Minato Mirai 21, the "future-port of the 21st century." With a bold outlook for the next century, Minato Mirai 21 - with its many modern facilities built on a 186 hectare water-front site - contributes to the development of the Tokyo-Yokohama area as an appealing new spot with the scenery of Yokohama port as its attractive backdrop.
