1st International Conference on Computer Workstations
-----------------------------------------------------
San Francisco Bay Area, May-June 1985.
Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society
Computer Workstations are integral to productivity and quality increases, and
they are the main focal point for a growing fraction of professional activity.
A "workstation", broadly defined, is a system that interacts with a user to
help the user accomplish some kind of work. Included in this definition are:
CAD systems, high-resolution graphics systems, office productivity systems,
computer-based engineering support stations of all kinds, architectural sys-
tems, software engineering environments, etc.
"Workstations" includes both hardware and software. Hardware to run the ap-
plications, software to customize the environments.
Technical Program
Papers are solicited from the technical community at large in a widely seen
series of advertisements. Sessions to be organized from submitted papers and
from Program Committee contacts.
The technical program will have approximately 32 sessions, arranged in three
tracks, spanning 3 full days. Technical sessions will be derived from submit-
ted papers and from Program Committee organized sessions. The Program Commit-
tee will include leaders and important contributors to the field of computer
workstations. International representation will be sought.
There will be an invited keynote speaker and a formal opening session, best
paper awards, and a set of pre-conference tutorials. Also, a "Special Ad-
dress" on the 2nd day.
Exhibits
Over 150 "booths" are expected to be populated by nearly as many companies ex-
hibiting hardware and software pertaining to workstations of all kinds. High
standards of technical exhibitions will be maintained by the IEEE to assure a
technically sophisticated and educational set of exhibits. Wide international
participation is anticipated.
Exhibits are set up on Monday, shown Tuesday through Thursday from 10 AM to 7
PM, and dismantled on Friday.
