UIST'92, the Fifth Annual Symposium on User Interface Software and
Technology, is the premier forum on innovative engineering of the
human-computer interface. The symposium brings together user-interface
researchers and practitioners with an interest in techniques, tools,
and technology for constructing quality, innovative user interfaces.
The intimate size, single track, and comfortable surroundings make
this symposium an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and
implementation experiences.

RECEPTION

MONDAY

PLENARY TALK

User Interfaces in GigaPC Environments
Raj Reddy, Carnegie Mellon University

Current projections indicate that a PC capable of a billion
operations-per-second costing about $3,000 will be available by around
1998. User interfaces provide one of the few areas which can
beneficially use such computational power. In this talk, I will
present a number of user interface research areas such as multimedia
interfaces, self-improving interfaces, intelligent help facilities,
interfaces that can provide advice on efficient uses of the system,
and systems that can tolerate error and ambiguity.

PLENARY TALK

Bringing the Computer into the World
Tony Hoeber, GO Corporation

The computer is in the midst of a long journey. Yesterday it was in
the backroom, today it's on the desktop, and in the near future it
will be everywhere, in the form of small, lightweight, pen and
voice-driven devices combining significant computing power and
communication capabilities. These devices will connect people to a
worldwide information network of unimaginable complexity. The
purchasers of these devices are expected to be ordinary people who use
them in the midst of daily life; moving about, standing in line, in
public spaces, interacting with others. Tiny screens, ambient
distraction, complex tasks -these are serious challenges to the user
interface designer. When computers make it from the desktop to the
street, will they turn out to be the transparent socially benign,
pleasant tools we hope they will be? Or will we have created a new
generation of intrusive technojunk? Will they be gadgets for the
technophile, or can there truly be a computer for just plain folks?
