I know a little about what SIGCHI is doing and has done in the past year or so. SIGCHI continues to publish the SIGCHI Bulletin, an approximately 100 page quarterly publication, which is provided to all members. In addition to the Bulletin, SIGCHI sponsors the annual ACM/SIGCHI Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) conferences. Our most recent conference was just at the beginning of this month in New Orleans and was attended by about 2100 people, with about 300 of those coming from outside North America. SIGCHI members have recently been mailed the proceedings from that conference, as an additional membership benefit. SIGCHI has also sent its members the CSCW90 and UIST90 proceedings as an additional benefit. CSCW, UIST and the Hypertext conferences, as well as the Document Processing conference, were all sponsored in part by SIGCHI. SIGCHI has also sponsored a number of smaller workshops over time, such as the 1988 Workshop on Architerctures for Intelligent Interfaces (ACM Press has just released the book from this workshop!) The annual CHI conference will be held in Monterey, CA, next year, with the INTERCHI conference (a joint CHI and IFIP Interact conference) planned for 1993 in Amsterdam. Hope this fills you in a bit on the activities of SIGCHI! Bill Hefley Editor SIGCHI Bulletin
