The fifth in a series of Human Factors and the Web conferences will be held on Thursday, June 3, 1999 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, DC.
The purpose of these conferences is to provide a forum for sharing information among a community of human factors engineers, designers, and developers who are interested in producing web sites that are more useful and usable. The first four conferences were sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories (March 1996), Microsoft Corporation (October 1996), U S WEST (June 1997), and AT&T Labs (June 1998). This year's conference will be hosted by NIST and sponsored, in part, by AT&T Labs. We are still seeking additional sponsors.
Invitation for Submissions
These conferences focus on web design and usability.
Presentations can take a variety of approaches, including
reports on empirical work, discussions of design and
evaluation methods, or reflections on what we have learned
about designing for the web.
The featured topic for this conference is "The Future of Web Applications". In addition to papers on general web design and web usability, we especially encourage presentations focusing on topics such as:
- Usability studies of dynamic, customizable web sites
- Innovative applications, especially for electronic commerce and enterprise-wide operations
- Case studies of legacy systems re-engineered for the web, database-enabled sites and transaction-based applications
- Usable design with new Web technologies such as XML and Java
- Tools for web usability testing and evaluation
- Accessibility
Submissions can be either for half-hour oral presentations or for panel discussions. Submissions for presentations should be papers between 2000 and 4000 words in length. Proposed panels should be described in enough detail to be reviewed. All papers and presentations should be in English.
Proceedings will be published on CD and on the conference web site. Publication versions of accepted papers, and presentation materials, will need to be e-mailed four weeks before the conference.
To make a submission:
- Complete the cover sheet included at the end of this message.
- Send cover sheet and submission via email as plain text or as an attachment in HTML, PDF, or Microsoft Word format.
- Send your submissions to hfweb@nist.gov no later than March 8, 1999.
Review Process
Your submissions will be reviewed by a committee of experts in
web design. We will send notifications of acceptance or
rejection by April 5, 1999. (In a separate email we will be
requesting volunteers for the review committee.)
Review of submissions will be based on the originality of the submission, the quality of the description, analysis or position, the support for the conclusions (in either data or argument), and the usefulness of the contribution to other practitioners.
