CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES
HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES - 24
KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII - JANUARY 8-11, 1991
ISSUES IN USER INTERFACE CONFORMANCE VALIDATION
The Software Track of HICSS-24 will contain a special set of
sessions focusing on a broad selection of topics in the area of
user interface conformance validation. The presentations will
provide a forum to discuss new advances in theory and practice that
improve production of validation systems and process of validating
user interfaces, windowing systems, user interface management
systems, toolkits, etc.
Conformance validation of graphical user interface toolkits, window
systems, and applications is a difficult task. It is difficult
because of highly interactive nature of the systems and the
requirement of conformance to well defined visual characteristic and
behavior in a heterogeneous environment that they should run. In
this session, we seek research contributions which address the
real-world concerns of validating graphical user interface
environment components.
Papers are invited that may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or
descriptive in nature. Of special interest, however, are papers
detailing solutions to practical problems. Those papers selected for
presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings, which are
published by the Computer Society of IEEE. HICSS-24 is sponsored by
the University of Hawaii in cooperation with the ACM, the IEEE
Computer Society, and the Pacific Research Institute for Information
Systems and Management (PRIISM). Areas of special interest are:
+ Automated Conformance Validation
+ User Interface Specification/Description Languages
+ Automated Validation System Generation
+ Input Synthesis, Script Languages, Record and Playback
Techniques
+ Protocol Specification and Verification
+ Appearance(Visual) characteristic verification
+ Toolkits/Widget Set Behavioral (Visual and otherwise)
Description Systems
