Subject: GUI access conference 97
In April 1997, a conference on access to the graphical user
interface will be held as part of an international conference on
the world wide web. Among other activities, I understand that a
"dueling web browsers" type of event is being planned.
Preliminary information on the conference follows.
----------
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce the third Access to GUI Conference which
will be held April 7-9, 1997 in Santa Clara, California as part of the
Sixth Annual World Wide Web Conference. Our focus will be on GUI
access and how it relates to such web issues as the comparative
accessibility of web browsers, the use of multimedia, speech access to
the Internet, the use of the World Wide Web for disability issues, and
creating accessible web pages. Being part of the much larger,
international web conference will give us an unprecedented opportunity
to share our concerns with a wide community of high-powered developers
and users.
The 1997 Access to GUI III conference will be a departure from the
previous two in that we will be part of a much larger mainstream
conference. This year's World Wide Web Conference is being co-hosted
by Stanford University and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The
theme of the conference this year is "Access" at all levels from
geographical to sociological to physical. Project Archimedes is
organizing the disability access focus of the main conference. The GUI
Access group will be working to recapture some of the intimacy of our
previous conferences while we also benefit from the excitement and
opportunities of the larger conference.
The WWW Conference will be formally requesting the submission of
papers for the conference in September. We are encouraging papers on
topics related to accessibility and any aspect of GUI access in
relation to the World Wide Web. These papers will be due in January at
which time they will be juried for publication on the web prior to the
conference.
This promises to be a very exciting event. There will be a number of
ways in which people can participate. We urge you to put the date on
your calendar now if you are thinking of attending. There will also be
the possibility of virtual attendance and, for novices, there will be
pre-conference sessions on accessing the Internet and the World Wide
Web.
Please let us know if you would like to receive further information.
We are currently in the process of updating our mailing list. We would
also like to hear any suggestions you might have on how to make this a
better conference. You can contact Margy Kahn by email at
mkahn@arch.stanford.edu or Jan McKinley at mckinley@arch.stanford. edu
or either of us by telephone at 415/723-8456.
We look forward to hearing from you!
