Call for Position Papers CHI '90 Workshop: Computer-Human Interaction in Aerospace Systems A limited attendance, invitational workshop on Computer-Human Interaction in Aerospace Systems is being organized for the CHI '90 conference in Seattle, Washington, 1-5 April, 1990. The workshop will be 1-2 April 1990. The purpose of the workshop is to explore issues facing designers and users of decision support systems in real-time, high-risk aerospace systems. The workshop will focus on the following issues: how do we model the user/operator in complex time-critical environments; how do we design the human-computer interaction (displays, controls, and aids) to ensure that the user is integrated into the decision process; what comprises an intelligent computer interface for a supervisory controller; how do we provide timely, context-sensitive information in real time without overloading or distracting the human operator; how do we design operator aids/tutors using knowledge-based technology that enhances the human-computer interaction and overall system effectiveness rather than replacing the human decision maker. Application domains include the design of human-computer interaction (e.g., displays, controls, aids, tutors) in satellite ground control systems, shuttle and space station control systems, and advanced aviation in both the cockpit and air traffic control. Workshop participation is limited to twenty people. Individuals wishing to attend the workshop may request an invitation by submitting a 3-5 page position paper discussing their experiences or research in the area of human-computer interaction in real-time complex dynamic systems (particularly aerospace applications). We encourage both human factors and systems designers, as well as other knowledgeable individuals to participate. We wish to obtain a balanced university/government/industry representation and interaction. The position papers of the invited attendees will be reproduced and distributed to the attendees prior to the workshop. Selected papers may be submitted for publication in the SIGCHI Bulletin. Also, workshop results will be reported in the Bulletin. Participants will be charged a $50 workshop fee to help defray the costs of coffee breaks and A/V equipment. Position papers are due no later than January 30, 1989. Three copies, double-spaced, should be sent to: CHI '90 Workshop on Computer-Human Interaction in Aerospace Systems Christine M.
