We invite everyone to join us on February 25-26 for the Symposium on 
Communicating Complex Information (SCCI). For the full program, see the

Keynote address, "Is Usability Testing Putting Lipstick on a Pig?" will 
be given by Tharon Howard, Clemson University.


Symposium goals

The future will see the design of information and communication 
technologies that serve ever more complex purposes and problems. For 
these technologies, creating user centered design is particularly 
challenging when users are engaged in sophisticated knowledge work and 
collaborations and do not want to become power users to conduct this 
work electronically. Goals of this symposium are to clarify what we 
already know about communicating complex information and clarify our 
understanding of what issues urgently need further research.

We hope to reach new insights about
*  The current major research issues that need to be addressed
*  Ways to transform research into practical applications


The symposium offers a format designed to maximize the exchange of 
information and ideas among all the attendees. It features a highly 
interactive format with each presenter giving a 15-20 minute 
presentation followed by a 20-30 minute discussion. Our goal is to 
encourage high interactivity and in-depth discussion about each 
presentation.
