Keynote Johanna Moore Conversations with Applications
|
Johanna D. Moore is Professor of
Artificial Intelligence and Director of the Human
Communication Research Centre at the University of
Edinburgh. Her research is aimed at developing
computational models of the way that humans understand
and generate natural language and graphical
representations. Advances in this research program will
improve the communicative capabilities of computer
systems that assist, instruct, educate, or represent
their users (e.g., expert systems, intelligent tutoring
systems, and software agents). Professor Moore has directed and participated in several externally funded interdisciplinary research projects applying her expertise in natural language processing, planning, and knowledge representation to problems in intelligent tutoring systems, human-computer interaction, and the automatic generation of interactive presentations with coordinated text and graphics. Professor Moore is the author of "Participating in Explanatory Dialogues" (MIT Press, 1995), and is the recipient of a National Science Foundation National Young Investigator Award. She serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, and has served as Guest Editor for the journals Computational Linguistics and Knowledge Based Systems. She was Program Chair for the 17th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (1995) and the 1997 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces. |
Keynote Joy Mountford What and how should we design?
|
S. Joy Mountford joined Interval
Research Corporation recently to manage a multi-media
development project. Ms. Mountford had been the manager
of the Human Interface Group at Apple Computer for nearly
eight years. Before joining Apple, Joy worked at MCC,
America's 5th generation computer consortium and prior to
that she designed advanced user interfaces for military
avionics systems at Honeywell. Her past research
experience has focused on the application of technologies
such as speech recognition and generation, intelligent
systems, tactile controllers and head-mounted systems. At Apple her advanced development interface group was responsible for extending the user interface beyond current desktop applications. The Human Interface Group's areas of interest and research included; audio and speech, 3-D design tasks, hand-held players, and the development of multi-media systems. The Human Interface Group, in ATG, were players in the evolution of QuickTime, Navigable Scenes, Bubble Help, AppleSearch and other consumer-based portable devices. Recently she has turned her attentions towards the design of media SoundScapes that can be shared across the Internet. Joy has given a series of invited lectures and presentations worldwide using interactive multi-media demonstrations. She also initiated and continues to oversee Apple's International Interface Design Project. This project has been a catalyst in setting up various interdisciplinary courses at Universities around the world. She also produced the "Art of Human-Computer Interface Design", a major instructional interface text. Her personal interests included encouraging interface innovation in such applications as choreography, music, animation and performance art. Joy's graduate work was at the University of Illinois in Engineering Psychology, and her undergraduate work at University College, London. |

The interactive experience will consist of live demonstrations of experimental interactive systems, user interfaces or design aids. Where possible and appropriate, displays should offer conference delegates opportunities for hands-on interaction, preferably without the assistance of a demonstrator. Items for the Interactive Experience will be selected on the basis of their novelty, technical or theoretical merit and relevance.
The Interactive Experience at INTERACT '99 will provide a chance for attendees to get their hands on some of the newest research in HCI. It will take place throughout the day on Thursday 2nd September and will allow visitors to try out some of the latest in interactive systems and devices.
The Interactive Experience will consist of live demonstrations of experimental interactive systems, user interfaces, games and design aids. For example, there will be a range of haptic (or force-feedback) interfaces to try out. These will range from low cost devices, through those available on laptop computers to sophisticated, high end devices. You will be able to try out the different systems and applications to see what they are capable of. There will also be demonstrations of 3D visualisation and virtual reality systems, 3D sound and music composition systems for blind people.

In the Professional Practice and Experience track interactive system designers and usability professionals from a wide range of organisations and countries describe their experiences in applying and extending HCI methodologies in a variety of domains and contexts, from Web design to mobile phones, from multimedia systems to a speculative prototype combining microwave oven and internet terminal.
This session presents a picture of a maturing discipline, yet
one where the methodologies and techniques are continually being
adapted and extended through informed practice and shared
experience, so as to meet and
transcend the challenges and opportunities of new technology, and
indeed to stimulate, support and underpin the creative processes
involved in imagining and realising innovative and enabling
products for tomorrow's
markets.
The papeexperiencers in this track show the increasing recognition of usability as a key factor in the design of a wide range of products and systems, by companies large and small, and through case studies and practical they illustrate the approaches, techniques, and methodologies through which usability may be achieved in practice.
