OJECTIVE AND AREAS OF INTEREST

You are cordially invited to participate in HCI International '93.  The
conference objective is to provide an international forum for the
dissemination and exchange of scientific information on generic and applied
areas of HCI.  This will be accomplished through the following five modes
of communication:  plenary presentations, parallel sessions, poster
sessions, tutorials and meetings of special interest groups.  It is
anticipated that about 300 technical papers and about 300 posters will be
selected for presentation during the three day conference which will be
preceded by a two-and-a-half day pre-conference tutorial.  The tutorials
will begin after lunch on 8 August 1993.  A total of some 20 tutorials will
be offered (both one-half day and full day) covering the entire spectrum of
HCI.

All abstracts will be refereed by three independent referees from the
international program committees.  Special paper for typing  and
instructions for  the preparation of the manuscript will be sent by  30
January 1993 to the authors whose papers have been accepted.               
                                                                           
It is anticipated that a broad range of research and applied topics will be
covered during the conference.  A sample of potential topics for submission
to the conference is listed below.  Papers in the generic category should
present research results of broad applicability, and in the applied
category should show how the demands of particular application areas shape
the way generic research is translated into practical innovation.  This
list is not intended to limit the range of submissions since broad coverage
of the entire HCI field is of interest.

PROPOSALS FOR PARTICIPATION - REQUIREMENTS

Parallel Presentations.  An abstract of 800 words should include  a
statement of objective and significance, a description of methods and a
discussion of results.  In some cases when considering submissions for the
parallel presentations, authors should consider whether their material may
be more effectively presented in the poster/demonstration sessions.

Poster/Demonstration Sessions.  This session has been especially designed
to accommodate the presentation of:  late-breaking scientific and
professional news; work in progress; work which can be more effectively
presented via demonstration or when the author feels more comfortable
presenting the material in written form or  demonstrating it rather than by
oral presentation.  An abstract of 300 words should include the essence of
the planned presentation.  Equipment needed for demonstration is the
responsibility of the author.

Special Interest Groups.  The objective is to focus on a special topic of
major importance.  This will be achieved in a two-stage process.  At Stage
I in a special session(s), presentation of technical papers will be given. 
All presenters in Stage 1, plus other invitees, will participate in a
roundtable discussion at Stage II.  This session should conclude with the
derivation of a white paper which would indicate, based on the group's
collective intelligence, both how the topics discussed could be more
effectively utilized immediately and provide a framework for developing a
research agenda aimed at advancing the body of knowledge and utility in the
subject area.
An 800 word abstract should state the objective and significance of the
session, potential participants (or how participants will be selected),
format of session and anticipated duration of both Stages I and II. 
Special interest groups can be formed which consist only of Stage I or only
of Stage II.

Tutorials.  An abstract of 300 words should state the objective, content,
target audience and include a brief biosketch about the presenter.

The conference proceedings of the parallel presentations will be published
by Elsevier Science Publishers in a hard cover edition and the abstracts of
the posters/demonstrations will be published in a soft cover edition.
