The Second Workshop in Interactive Systems

*9704451由国家科学基金会交互系统计划资助的研究人员年度会议的重要性日益突出，这一国家议程将改善界面视为我国经济竞争力的关键，提议让每个公民都能普遍使用NII，并希望在每一个有网络接入的教室里放置计算机。第一次受赠人讲习班(1995年11月)的与会者一致报告了积极的经验。研究人员很高兴与在相关领域工作的同事见面和互动，并第一手了解彼此领域的研究和挑战。第二次Grantee研讨会的拟议地点为8月16日至8月18日，这一日期已被发现与其他会议的冲突最小，并允许对房间进行经济定价。拟议的研讨会议程将由指导委员会制定，并听取上一次受赠人研讨会参与者的反馈意见。最重要的目标将是促进富有成效的思想交流和促进同事之间的互动。研讨会还将仿照以前的工作编写一份超文本标记语言文件，总结交互系统方案支持的不同项目。*

*** 9704451 The increasing importance of an annual meeting of researchers funded by the Interactive Systems Program of the National Science Foundation is underscored by a national agenda that views improved interfaces as vital to our Nation's economic competitiveness, that proposes universal access to the NII by every citizen, and that hopes to place computers in every classroom with network access. Attendees of the First Grantees Workshop (in November 1995) reported uniformly positive experiences. Researchers were delighted to meet and interact with colleagues working in related fields, and to learn first- hand about the research and challenges in each others' areas. The proposed venue for the Second Grantee Workshop is in Oregon from August 16th through August 18th, dates which have been found to be in minimal conflict with other meetings and which allow for economical pricing of rooms. The proposed workshop agenda will be developed by a steering committee, with feedback from participants of the last Grantee's Workshop. The paramount goals will be to foster fruitful exchange of ideas and to stimulate interaction among colleagues. The workshop will also produce an HTML document, modeled on the previous effort, which summarizes the different projects supported by the Interactive Systems Program.***
