C A L L F O R P A P E R S IFIP WG8.4 Conference on Multi-User Interfaces and Applications Date: September 24-26, 1990 Location: Heraklion, Crete, Greece Organized by: IFIP Working Group 8.4, in cooperation with : ACM SIGOIS, Greek Computer Society Computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and other multi- user applications are broadly concerned with the combined use of communications and computer technology by a group of people. The Conference on Multi-User Interfaces and Applica- tions will focus on user interface and architectural issues for CSCW and "groupware" systems. The conference welcomes papers describing the design, implementation and evaluation of systems that encourage collaboration or coordination among users. Descriptions are solicited of underlying tech- nologies (e.g., shared window systems, wide area file sys- tems, multimedia networks), example applications (e.g., co- authoring systems, group decision support) and related research topics (e.g., multi-user interface design, novel concurrency control schemes). WG8.4 has previously organized a number of conferences and workshops: "Office Systems" (Helsinki, 1985), "Methods and Tools for Office Systems" (Pisa, 1986), "Office Knowledge: Representation, management and utilization" (Toronto, 1987), "Office Information Systems: The design process" (Linz, 1988) and "Groupware Technology" (Palo Alto, 1989). The Conference on Multi-User Interfaces and Applications is the sixth event in this series. SUGGESTED TOPICS A partial list of topics includes: desktop conferencing co-authoring systems coordination systems electronic meeting rooms group decision support distributed group problem solving design principles for multi-user interfaces multi-user interface management shared hypertext/multimedia shared window systems wide-area file systems CONFERENCE COMMITTEE General Chair Alex Verrijn-Stuart University of Leiden, Netherlands Programme Chair Simon Gibbs University of Geneva, Switzerland Organizing Chair Panos Constantopoulos FORTH, Greece PROGRAMME COMMITTEE Simon Gibbs - Chair University of Geneva, Switzerland Sid Ahuja ATT, USA Susanne Bodker Aarhus University, Denmark Janis Bubenko SISU, Sweden Stavros Christodoulakis University of Waterloo, Canada George Coulouris Queen Mary College, UK Bruce Croft University of Massachusetts, USA Clarence Ellis MCC, USA Fred Lochovsky University of Toronto, Canada Jonathan Grudin MCC, USA (and Aarhus Univ.)
