The goal of the VCHCI is to serve the community with a balanced program of reviewed technical papers, demonstrations, posters, exhibitions and invited lec- tures that represent in one meeting current research results, the best new ideas, how to apply them, and the most comprehensive overviews of current technology and practice. Vienna in the FIN DE SIECLE was a place of intensity, disputes and rapid development in culture, politics and science. MODERNISM provoked both the moral-scientific tradition as well as the aesthetic-aristocratic ideal. E.g., by absorbing the fashionable poetic and plastic culture of all Europe in his language glowing darkly with purple and gold, the ado- lescent narcissus Hugo von Hofmannsthal became the idol of Vienna's cul- ture-ravenous intelligentsia. Karl Kraus, the city's most acidulous moralist, poured contempt upon "THAT GEM-COLLECTOR" Hofmannsthal, who "FLEES LIFE AND LOVES THE THINGS WHICH BEAUTIFY IT". A century later, in today's fin de siecle, the VCHCI will emphasize on showing that - HCI is more than AN AREA TO BEAUTIFY interaction with computers - HCI PROVOKES DISPUTES among its different contributing fields - HCI does not FLEE THE VITAL QUESTIONS for people using computers - HCI provides RADICALLY NEW opportunities for users The VCHCI Program Committee will solicit original technical papers and posters. All contributions will be judged primarily on soundness, origi- nality, and relevance to Human Computer Interaction. The program commit- tee anticipates that many submissions will describe ongoing work that will appear in more polished and complete form in the scientific and technical journals, and will therefore place an emphasis on evaluating papers and posters on the basis of potential interest to VCHCI attendees. TECHNICAL PAPERS AND POSTERS may describe, but are not limited to, INTERACTIVE ARCHITECTURES (user interface management systems; user interface toolkits and frameworks; hypertext; hypermedia; design environments; proto- typing tools) HCI APPLICATION AREAS (knowledge-based and intelligent systems; computer supported cooperative work; process control and automation; software engineering, systems engineering; office automation; education; geography; medicine) COGNITIVE MODELS (task and user analysis; user models; learning models; performance models; interaction models; mental models, metaphors; psychology of design) WORK WITH DEVICES (hardware ergonomics; workplace environment; workload, stress and strain; psycho-physiological aspects; work analysis; group work) DESIGN AND EVALUATION (formal methods; notations; requirement capture methods; rapid prototyping; user participation; usability and acceptability metrics; evaluation methods and tools; standards and guidelines) CULTURAL, SOCIAL, AND GLOBAL HCI ASPECTS PAPERS should be written in English. They are limited to 6000 words with full page figures counting 400 words and should include a short abs- tract, list of keywords, email-number and lead author's address. Submit- ted papers should have been neither published nor submitted for publi- cation elsewhere. Research papers should clearly indicate the relevance of the results to HCI. Experimental papers should, in addition, contain clear descriptions of experimental methods used in obtaining the men- tioned results. Experience and case study papers should discuss the relevance/applicability of the results to other environments and should not be used to advertise or promote specific commercial products or ser- vices. All papers should explain what is new and significant about the work presented and how it compares with related work. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. POSTERS can be written either English or Austrian. They will be limited to two 60 by 90 centimeter panels at the most and should include enough material to allow attendees to determine the goals, methods and results of the work described. Poster sessions will be scheduled in public exhi- bition and demonstration areas throughout the conference meeting days. Posters will be considered in any of the areas described above, but may be most suitable for early phases of work-in-progress, topics of highly specialized interest, new or controversial ideas, and work that has not yet attained a "critical mass" of results. Posters will be reviewed pri- marily on the basis of originality, relevance and potential interest to the conference attendees. Poster presenters should submit a two pages abstract at the most describing the contents and significance of the proposed poster to be included in the conference proceedings. SUBMISSIONS and DEADLINES: Five (5) copies of TECHNICAL PAPERS should be submitted to one of the conference chairs by March 1, 1993. Two (2) copies of POSTER ABSTRACTS should be submitted to one of the conference chairs by March 31, 1993. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by April 30, 1993. The LOCATION of VCHCI 93 will be the Technical University of Vienna situated right in the heart of the old town. One is directly in touch with Vienna's history, art, music, and architecture. It is the area where at the turn-of-the-century out of a crisis of political and social disintegration much of modern culture and thought was born. FREUD, MAHLER, SCHNITZLER, KLIMT were all working within a few steps from one another. ADLER, LOOS, SCHOENBERG at the same time discovered and developed their talents. KOKOSCHKA, SCHIELE and WITTGENSTEIN spent an inspiring youth then. For sure it will also be interesting to find out, whether in this century's fin de siecle Vienna, modern and progressive on one hand, narrow and illiberal on the other, can cope with the vitality of that time.
