Subject: Interacting with Computers - Call for papers
INTERACTING WITH COMPUTERS - CALL FOR PAPERS
The Interdisciplinary Journal of Human-Computer Interaction
INTERACTING WITH COMPUTERS will provide a new international forum for
communication about HCI issues betwen academia and industry.
It will allow information to be disseminated in a form
accessible to all HCI practitioners, not just to academic researchers.
This new journal is produced in conjunction with the BCS
Human-Computer Interaction Specialist Group. Its aim is to stimulate ideas
and provoke widespread discussion with a forward-looking perspective.
A dialogue will be built up between theorists, researchers and human
factors engineers in academia, industry and commerce thus fostering
interdisciplinary dependencies.
The journal will initially appear three times a year. The first issue
of INTERACTING WITH COMPUTERS will be published in March 1989.
Each issue will contain a large number of fully refereed papers
presented in a form and style suitable for the widest possible
audience. All long papers will carry an executive summary for those who would
ot read the paper in full. Papers may be of any length but content will be
substantial. Short applications-directed papers from industrial contributors
are actively encouraged.
Every paper will be refereed not only by appropriate peers but also by experts
outside the area of specialisation. It is intended to support a continuing
commentary on published papers by referees and journal readers.
COVERAGE
o Systems and dialogue design
o Evaluation techniques
o User interface design, tools and methods
o Empirical evaluations
o User features and user modelling
o new research paradigms
o Design theory, process and methodology
o State-of-the-art reviews
o Organisational and social issues
o Intelligent systems
o Training and education applications
o Emerging technologies
PAPER TYPES
The editorial board of INTERACTING WITH COMPUTERS wish to publish papers in all
areas of HCI. To ensure the desired breadth of coverage it has created three
Special Editorial Boards (SEBs) in:
o Computer science
o Human sciences
o Applications
A wide range of paper types are encouraged. The overriding concern is that
papers should contribute to advancing the field of HCI. All papers should be of
a high standard and should be concerned with wider applications in addition to
intellectual rigour. Papers should take an interdisciplinary approach to HCI
and should address the journal's anticipated diverse readership.
Some initial paper types are:
o State of the art reviews on any aspect of HCI
o Reports on theoretical research, highlighting practice and context
o Brief papers covering technical work-in-progress
o Experience with industrially-based applications
o Discussion of evaluation issues and findings
READERSHIP
o HCI professionals
o Computer and social scientists
o Industry practitioners
o Systems, software and interface designers
o Human factors engineers
CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite papers addressing problems and issues in HCI in such a way that the
contents are accessible to readers from all contributing disciplines.
Theoretically-orientated papers should attempt to demonstrate the relevance of
theory to practice and applications-orientated papers are strongly encouraged.
The language of the journal is English but the publishers are
experienced in assisting authors whose first language is not English.
Authors are encouraged to adopt a clear and accessible style. All
papers will be fully and appropriately refereed with respect to content and
paper type.
Authors should submit six copies of their manuscript, typed on one side
only and in double-line spacing to the address below. An explanatory
document, "Guidance for Authors", is also available from this address:

Third Eurographics Workshop on
INTELLIGENT CAD SYSTEMS
"Practical Experience and Evaluation"
April 3-7, 1989
Hotel Opduin, Texel, The Netherlands
AIM AND SCOPE:
This is the third workshop in a series of three Eurographics Workshops
on Intelligent CAD Systems which have the following topics
1. 1987: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects
2. 1988: Implementational Issues
3. 1989: PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE AND EVALUATION
Applying knowledge engineering to CAD has during the last decade become a
major area of research, known as Intelligent CAD. The scope of this workshop
includes (but is not limited to):
- Experiments with intelligent CAD systems.
- The role of intelligent CAD systems in industrial design.
- Acquisition and maintenance of design expertise.
- Software engineering for implementations of intelligent CAD systems.
- User interfaces for intelligent CAD systems.
- Knowledge representation languages for design.
- Integration of application software (finite elements, qualitative
physics, etc.) to intelligent CAD systems.
The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
EurographicSeminar Books series. The record of the first workshop has already
been published by Springer-Verlag and the volume covering the second workshop
should be out before December, 1988.
DEADLINES:
- Nov. 1, 1988 Deadline for extended abstracts.
- Jan. 15, 1989 Notification of acceptance.
- March 15, 1989 Submission of full papers.
- April 3-7, 1989 Workshop.

ABSTRACTS:
We are planning to accept 20 papers and we shall limit the total
number of participants to 50. Please submit 3 copies of a single-spaced

the issues of intelligent CAD. We are not planning to admit applicants
who have not submitted an extended abstract (or as explained, a position
paper).
