   Fourth Annual Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology

                  Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH & SIGCHI  

            November 11-13, 1991, Hilton Head, South Carolina

             Paper and Panel submissions due on May 21, 1991


CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
UIST'91, the Fourth 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
implementation 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 21,
1991. FAX cannot be used for submission. Authors  will  be  notified  of
acceptance by July 8, 1991.

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  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 21,
1991. Authors will be notified of acceptance by July 8, 1991.
