CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES - 25 SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT COGNITION AND PROBLEM SOLVING IN USER INTERACTION POIPU BEACH, KAUAI - JANUARY 7-10, 1992 Description The Software Track of HICSS-25 will contain a two-day mini-track focusing on topics in user interface design. The presentations will provide a forum to discuss advances in theory and practice that improve production, learning, and use. Theoretical, conceptual, tutorial, or descriptive papers selected for presentation will appear in the conference proceedings published by the Computer Society of the IEEE. HICSS-25 is sponsored by the University of Hawaii in cooperation with the ACM, the Computer Society, and the Pacific Research Institute for Infor- mation Systems and Management (PRIISM). Submissions are solicited for the COGNITIVE session, which will be administered by the Session Chairs noted below. Submissions are solicited in: * Acquisition of user models * Interface specification, design and implementation. * Methods for maximizing acquisition of programming skill. * Models of human problem solving and their relation to software design. * Empirical comparisons of existing interface technologies. * Level of expertise or expert-novice differences with respect to use of operating systems and programming languages. * Empirical results of teaching and using software design techniques. * Aspects of programming language design that affect productivity, maintainability, and reliability. * Mental models of operating systems and the implications for learning and design. * Transfer of training and experience between systems. * Evaluation of direct manipulation and multimedia systems.
