CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 5TH ANNUAL X TECHNICAL CONFERENCE
VIDEO PROGRAM
The 1991 X Technical Conference will include an evening video session on
Monday, January 14. Many concepts, techniques, and applications can be
better presented with a video than a technical paper or live demonstration.
Video is also useful for showing an idea that has not been implemented or
the user interface evaluation process.
Attendees are invited to bring a technical videotape for this session.
It should be no longer than 12 minutes, in 1/2 inch VHS or 3/4" Umatic
formats (no PAL encodings). To show your video, you need only sign up
for the session. Videos will be shown in order of sign up. To sign up
prior to the conference, send your name, organization/company, email
address if available, daytime telephone number, subject of the video,
length of video if known, and video format to the following address:
xconference@expo.lcs.mit.edu
or

Receipt will be acknowledged. There is no deadline for this session;
however, its length is fixed. Apply early to insure that there is time
for your video.
As with the rest of the conference, this is to be strictly a technical
presentation. Product demonstrations should offer substantial technical
content of interest to the X programmer or user. Demonstrations of
new concepts, features, or other original ideas heretofore unannounced or
unseen by the general technical community are especially welcome.
Interesting applications and work-in-progress from the academic/research
community are also encouraged. Elaborate production values are not
expected; a simple video with clear exposition of its technical content
is far more important.
