Presentations Conference sessions The 1999 Conference sessions will address: Topics pertinent for all levels of usability practitioners, from beginning through advanced. Views from highly regarded individuals from other disciplines through a track of invited speakers. This track is highly popular with those looking to move beyond the traditional bounds of usability. Business case studies, as described below. Practical guidelines for incorporating usability in an organization. Rapid and low-cost usability techniques. Topics in addition to GUI and web products (e.g. hardware). International issues. Measuring usability of commercial off-the-shelf packages. Invited speakers track The goal of this track is to learn from professionals in related disciplines who are frequently faced with usability and design problems. What we hear will surprise us, challenge us, and break down traditional barriers. Invited speakers complement the more pragmatic offerings of the UPA program with sessions designed to stimulate new associations and relationships. Business case studies We are pleased to offer Business Case Studies to our Presentation program this year. Business Case Studies present notable user interface designs, with special emphasis on usability engineering issues (task analysis, requirements gathering, prototyping and evaluation). These studies are a unique way of sharing real design experiences and challenges among practitioners.
