System Demonstration

Deadline: February 24, 2003

Several technological advances can make existing activities easier, faster, more accurate and more economical. Some lead to the creation of completely new activities. These technologies benefit people by helping them work more effectively and live more comfortably by creating new leisure activities and by opening new ways for communicating with friends, family, and colleagues. The system demonstration track is looking for examples of technologies with such potential. We encourage demonstrations of new and emerging technologies as well as innovations based on current technologies. We are interested in demonstrations of all technologies in the full range of HCI-related topics, especially as they relate to the conference theme. A system demonstration is a live presentation of a running system. The review process will retain the anonymity of reviewers; authors may request and be granted anonymity as well.

Submit an electronic proposal for a system demonstration and an abstract (2 pages) by the deadline date to demo@interact2003.org
