FOURTH Workshop on EMPIRICAL STUDIES of PROGRAMMERS
December 7-8, 1991, New Brunswick, NJ
Important Date: Submission Deadline: May 13, 1991
*************************************************************************
Hello!
As the following letter and Call for Participation indicate we are getting
ESP IV underway. The location has been set at the Hyatt Regency in
New Brunswick, NJ. New Brunswick is just outside of New York City and
is along the Northeast Corridor AMTRAK route and major highway routes
up the East Coast. New Brunswick is most easily reachable by air via
Newark International Airport or Philadelphia International Airport.
Ironically, though not quite as close as Newark, Philadelphia is the
most convenient because of easy rail links. For those of you thinking
of combining visits the general area encompasses Rutgers University,
Princeton University, Bellcore, IBM Watson Research Center, NYNEX, ATT
Bell Labs, Sarnoff (East), NEC (Princeton), ETS, universities located
in New York City, and other places interested in ESP and CHI research.
We are working out the details now and so we don't have any financial
information just yet--but soon! We are trying to arrange a welcome
reception for the night before the workshop starts so you might factor
that into any preliminary plans. Details will be forthcoming shortly.
In the meantime--please contact the co-chairs with any questions or
issues! The interest level already is so high that we can look
forward to a fine workshop.
An electronic version of a cover letter announcing the workshop and a
Call for Participation follow. Please feel free to disseminate these
materials to anyone you feel might be interested, and ask us for hard
copies if you would like them:

The return of ESP!
We are happy to announce the Fourth Workshop on Empirical Studies of
Programmers, to be held in New Brunswick, New Jersey, December 7-8,
1991.
We are returning to the format of the first two ESP Workshops,
including formal papers and panels. Ablex Publishing has again agreed
to publish the Proceedings for the Workshop.
Although topics change, some things have remained constant in previous
Workshops: food for mind, soul, and body. It is hard to attend an ESP
Workshop and not come away invigorated with new friends and new ideas.
Please plan now to join us at ESP IV; the enclosed Call for
Participation gives the specifics, but please feel free to propose any
program additions that you think would enliven the show.
In the Fall, we will be sending you more information on logistics; in
the meantime, please feel free to contact Tom Moher or Scott
Robertson, and please pass along our invitation to your colleagues.
We hope to see you there!
Warmest regards,
