USC Information Sciences Institute

May 12 - May 14, 2000

Request for Information

Your contact information:

Please provide your name, affiliation, mailing & email address, telephone and fax numbers.

1. Whether you intend to come to the workshop and/or tutorials.

If you know definitely, great. If you think you may (or may not) come, but are not yet sure, please also let us know that. It at all possible we would like to hear from everyone by April 21.

2. Whether you would like to give a talk, and if so on what topic.

The "normal" talk length is 15 minutes, though there are also 5 minute "announcement" talks to allow just a few words to be said (usually about some beginning effort). In addition, this workshop will also feature 30 minute demonstration/talk combinations. The 30 minute demo/talks will give you an opportunity to show your software to the whole workshop -- there will *not* be a separate demonstration session, so this will be your only opportunity to show your software. Please let us know which type of talk you want to give. If you REALLY feel you need more than 15 minutes for a talk, or 30 minutes for a demo/talk, give your best argument. If you are uncertain about whether you are going to talk, let us know that as well; and please do not hold up letting us know about your intention to come because of uncertainty about whether you are going to talk.
3. What types of audio-visual support you need for your presentation?

In addition to the standard overhead projection system and VCR/TV set-up, we also have the capability of projecting Mac, PC, and Unix system output to a large viewing screen.
4. Do you plan on demonstrating a system at the workshop?

If so, what system, and what kind of hardware requirements will you have?
5. Are there topics that you think should be discussed either by the group as a whole or during a breakout period where we divide up into informal discussion subgroups?
