The symposium brings together user-interface researchers and practitioners with an interest in techniques, tools, and technology for constructing high-quality, innovative user interfaces. The intimate size, single track, and comfortable surroundings make this symposium an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and implementation experiences. Papers, panels, and demonstrations are sought on a wide range of user-interface topics. Symposium Chair: Brad A. Myers Computer Science Department Carnegie Mellon University 5000 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3891 (email is preferred to phoning) Phone: +1 (412) 268-5150 FAX: +1 (412) 681-5739 E-mail: bam@cs.cmu.edu For more information, see http://www.cc.gatech.edu/gvu/UIST95/uist95top.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TECHNICAL PROGRAM TECHNICAL PROGRAM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= PAPERS Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality papers about research to enhance user-interface functionality or to improve the user-interface development process. Appropriate topics include but are not limited to: - Techniques for advanced interaction functionality, such as multimedia, virtual worlds, innovative displays, unconventional input devices, and highly interactive user interfaces. - Innovative software architectures for developing user interfaces, including those associated with user-interface management systems, window systems, toolkits, and knowledge-based user interfaces. - Tools and techniques for designing, constructing, and evaluating user interfaces, including automated tools and object-oriented techniques. - User interfaces with special operating system requirements, such as real-time, multi-user, multi-input, multi-threaded, and distributed interfaces. - User interfaces for difficult or challenging applications, such as large and/or complex information sets. - User interfaces for people with special needs. - The internationalization of the user interface. Videotapes of implementations are encouraged. Accepted papers will be invited to submit videotape for a video proceedings that will be distributed at the conference. 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 in length. Videotapes should be at most 8 minutes long. The submission should consist of 6 copies of a paper, 5 copies of an NTSC VHS 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 (fewer than 200 words) and keywords. The cover letter should also indicate whether the submitted video can be part of the video proceedings. An author's packet with additional and complete information is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cc.gatech.edu in /pub/uist95, by World-Wide-Web (Mosaic) at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/gvu/UIST95/uist95top.html, or from the program chair. Submissions must be received by the program chair no later than April 28, 1995. FAX cannot be used for submission. Authors will be notified of acceptance by June 30, 1995.

Appropriate topics are the same as for submitted papers, but panel sessions offer greater flexibility in presentation format and content, so feel free to suggest something unconventional. Panel selection will be based on the importance, originality, focus, and timeliness of the topic, as well as the potential for informative, lively, or controversial discussion. Panels should have no more than five members, including the chair, and should 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 submission should be no more than six ACM conference pages long. It should include: - The panel title, and the name, affiliation and contact information for each panelist. - A description of the panel topic and presentation format, including why this topic is important to symposium attendees. - A position statement and very brief biographical sketch for each panelist. Please also attach a cover letter including the panel title, length of time desired, panelists' names and affiliations, and the panel organizer's name, affiliation, address, email address, and phone number. Submissions must be received by the panels chair no later than April 28, 1995. Fax cannot be used for submissions. Authors will be notified of acceptance by June 30, 1995. PANEL CHAIR Pierre Wellner Multimedia Communication Research Department AT&T Bell Labs, Room 4G-608 101 Crawfords Corner Road P.O. Box 3030 Holmdel, New Jersey 07733 Phone: +1 (908) 949-3073 Fax: +1 (908) 949-0399 E-mail: pierre@research.att.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DEMOS UIST '95 will host an evening reception including demonstrations of work at CMU's Human-Computer Interaction Institute and demonstrations submitted for review. Demonstrations are intended to show early implementation of novel interface concepts or HCI systems. Demos enable conference attendees to view and try systems in action, as well as to discuss the systems with the people who created them. All demos will be given in parallel in an informal setting (i.e., small groups gathered around workstations). The reception will last three hours; a demo should be less than 30 minutes long so that it can be given many times. UIST '95 will help coordinate equipment for demos. A demo submission will be evaluated on the basis of its potential to work well as a demo, while bringing new and innovative research ideas to the conference. Commercial products are eligible, but sales and marketing activities are not appropriate. The submission should consist of a cover letter indicating the primary author's name, affiliation, address, phone number, and email address (if at all possible), and three copies of the following: - A two page summary (in ACM conference format) of research contributions illustrated in the demo. This summary will be included in the UIST '95 proceedings, and should include appropriate references and contact information so readers can find out more about the system. - A detailed description of hardware and software requirements. Please state whether you can bring the necessary hardware and software to the conference. - A demo storyboard with at least six screen pictures (not more than six pages, including pictures), or an NTSC VHS videotape of the demo. Submissions must be received by the demos chair no later than April 28, 1995. FAX cannot be used for submission. Authors will be notified of acceptance by June 30, 1995. DEMO CHAIR Elizabeth Mynatt 801 Atlantic Drive Graphics, Visualization and Usability Center Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0280 Phone: +1 (404) 894-3658 (email is preferred to phoning) FAX: +1 (404) 853-0673 E-mail: elizabeth.mynatt@cc.gatech.edu =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TECHNOTES Technique Notes ("TechNotes") offer an opportunity to disseminate important new interaction and visualization techniques that are not substantial enough to warrant a full-length paper. A TechNote should be at most 2 ACM conference pages long. It is encouraged, although not required, that the submission be accompanied by a videotape that is no more than 6 minutes long. Accepted TechNotes will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference. The heart of a TechNote should not be exhaustive implementation details or user studies, but rather sufficient supporting audiovisual material (screen dumps in the paper, and video/audio in the conference presentation) to convince the reader that the technique is worthwhile and to explain how to replicate it. (For those familiar with the ACM Transactions on Graphics, a TechNote can be thought of as a "conference version" of an "Interaction Technique Notebook" article.) The submission should consist of 5 copies of a 2-page paper, 5 copies of an NTSC VHS 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). Submissions must be received by the TechNotes chair no later than April 28, 1995. FAX cannot be used for submissions. Authors will be notified of acceptance by June 30, 1995.
