Society and the Future of Computing

``` The conference on Society and the Future of Computing (SFC'95) will be held from June 11th to 14th in Durango, Colorado. This conference is an initiative of the US Public Policy Committee of the Association for Computing Machinery (USACM). Its focus is on opportunities for socially beneficial applications of computing technology: visions of what's possible ten years from now and agendas for computer science research that can make those visions come true.

Conference speakers include:

Gary Chapman, University of Texas, Austin John Cherniavsky, National Science Foundation Peter J. Denning, George Mason University Linda Garcia, Office of Technology Assessment S. Joy Mountford, Interval Research Corporation Don Norman, Apple Computer, Inc. Roy Pea, Northwestern University Paul Evan Peters, Coalition for Networked Information Virginia E. Rezmierski, University of Michigan Leslie Sandberg, Institute for Telemedicine Paul Young, National Science Foundation

Poster sessions will be an important part of the conference. For full information on poster submissions, see the conference web pages or contact Doug Schuler . The deadline is April 1st.

Student scholarships are available as well; information is available from sfc95-students@lanl.gov.

The basic idea is to gather 250 people in a nice place to work hard and have fun learning how to take social issues into account when setting agendas for computer science research. We hope you can join us.
