TFWWG’2000 will be the annual meeting of the International Special
Interest Group (SIG) on Tools for Working with Guidelines.
Guidelines are today widely recognized as an indisputable source for
improving the usability of user interfaces and interactive systems.
Although guidelines suffer from some drawbacks, they are easy to
communicate, cheap to use, quick to pick up and effective to drive user
interface design. However, as the range of today’s interactive systems
is increasing dramatically, the domains concerned by guidelines are
expanding very fast. So is the software that is also available in both
research and market to support people involved in the use of guidelines.
Software tools are appearing as CD-ROMs, on-line material, guidelines
repository, guidelines-based generation, evaluation of a user interface, a web
site,…
Scope
We seek high-quality original papers that address the theory, design,
development, evaluation of ideas, tools, techniques, methodologies for
working with guidelines in (but not limited to) the following areas:
* Guidelines for special topics: web sites, hypertext,
hypermedia, multimedia, user interface for all, for users with
special needs, collaborative applications, groupware,
multimodal applications, computer-aided learning,
telecommunication
* Guidelines for software and software for guidelines
* Development methodologies and practices involving guide-
lines
* Computer-aided design of user interfaces based on guidelines
* On-line and off-line tools for teaching guidelines : tutorial,
CD-ROM, Web site, training
manuals, interactive tools
* Methods for incorporating guidelines into the development
life cycle
* Propagation of guidelines throughout organizations
* Use of guidelines: experimental results and empirical experience
* Usability engineering based on guidelines : software, direct or
remote evaluation
* Guidelines, standards, style guides, ergonomic algorithms
and design rules
Theme
The TFWWG’2000 meeting will have the thematic focus:
“Propagating guidelines”. One of the key aspects of successfully managing
guidelines today is to ensure how they can be transferred to the
appropriate persons in an adequate and straightforward format. How
they will be addressed in the development life cycle? How to
gather knowledge drawn from past experiences involving guidelines?
This is not limitative.
History
This Special Interest Group (SIG) on Tools for Working with Guidelines
is an international initiative to gather people, teams, and organizations
involved in the use of guidelines for designing interactive systems in
human-computer interaction.
Previous events were:
* 1994 : Annual Meeting as SIG at ACM CHI’94 (Boston, April
1994, USA)
* 1995 : Annual Meeting as a Symposium during IFIP
Interact’95 (Lillehammer, June 1995, Norway)
* 1996 : Annual Meeting as Paper presentation before
Eurographics DSV-IS’96 and CADUI’96 (Namur, June 1996, Belgium)
* 1997-1998 : Double special Issue of Journal "Interacting
with Computers’ published by Elsevier (Vol. 12, No. 2 & Vol. 13, No. 1)
* 1999 : Annual Meeting as a special session during HCI
International’99 (Munich, August 1999, Germany)

Submissions
Papers are solicited for presentations as talks in long or short format.
Papers should highlight both the general scientific contributions of the
research and their practical significance. Long papers can be
submitted in isolation or in a batch up to 4 submissions grouped to form
a special session compatible with the conference themes. In the case of a
grouped submission, the batch will be reviewed as a whole, considering
how papers relate and complement each other. Short papers reports late-
breaking results or ongoing research and development activities. In order
to support the understandibility of papers submissions, videos and/or
recorded sessions will be considered and appreciated. Supporting videos
(VHS) are encouraged when appropriate. If such a video is hard
for authors to produce, it is recommended to send a session re-
corded with Lotus ScreenCam (http://www.lotus.com), Microsoft
CameScope, or any other similar tool with the submission. These tools can
be obtained from the Workshop Chair. Submissions should be sent
by electronic mail to the Program Chair preferably as TeX, PDF, PostScript, or
Word files. Recorded sessions should also be sent by
electronic mail to the Program Chair as SCM, AVI, MPEG files. Submis-
sions should arrive by January 17th, 2000, 5 p.m. local time.
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag UK.
Submissions should be formatted according to Springer-Verlag format
guidelines which are available online at
http://www.springer.de/comp/authors/index.html. Long papers are limited
to 12 pages, short papers are limited to 6 pages. It is intended that the
presentations and the recorded sessions (e.g., with Lotus
ScreenCam) will be placed online on the TFWWG’2000 web site for all
accepted papers to show their visibility. The workshop will begin
with an interactive presentation of all accepted papers and end up with a
discussion. Presentation time is 20 min., discussion time is 5 min.
