The following is the schedule for the CHI+GI '87 conference to be held in
Toronto Apr 5-9. This conference will be a combined Graphics Interface (
sponsored by CIPS/CMCCS) and CHI (Human Factors in Computing, sponsored by
ACM/SIGCHI). The technical program includes 46 papers selected from 166
submissions and 10 panels chosen from 25 proposals. The first two days of the
conference will be devoted to tutorials which will be described in a further
posting. Concurrent with the technical program, there will be videotape
presentations, demonstrations, and interactive poster sessions. One evening
will be devoted to an electronic theatre presentation.
CHI and CMCCS members will automatically receive the advance program. Others
