Call For Participation

Meeting Date: Friday, April 23, 2004

Meeting Location: Rice University ­ Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management, Houston, Texas USA

Extended Submission Deadline: March 15, 2004, Poster and Presentation Proposals due


The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Houston Chapter is sponsoring a one day meeting in Houston April 23, 2004 that focuses on bringing to light the number of different people working in Houston on the wide variety of disciplines that are connected to ergonomics and human factors. The meeting will be designed to provide time for people to share ideas in a variety of formats and also to socialize with other ergonomic and human factors professionals. To make this conference a success, we hope that you will contribute by offering to present examples of your work, practical applications or research interests using either a seminar or poster session format. Since it is only a one-day conference, the number of speaking positions is limited, but the number of open poster spots is quite large.

If you wish to submit, please forward an abstract (minimum 150 words) by email to hhfes@sbcglobal.net. You may also log on to http://chil.rice.edu/hfes and link to the conference. More information on submissions and a registration form are available there.

Proposers are asked to specify whether or not their proposal can be accepted for presentation in a format other than that submitted (for example, submitted as a lecture but accepted as a poster). Finally, accepted authors will be asked to prepare a proceedings paper of one to five pages.

Note that for all accepted proposals, one of the authors must attend the meeting to present the work.

You must have e-mail access to have a proposal considered for the HFES-Houston One Day Meeting. All communication with you about your proposal (e.g., confirmation of receipt, acceptance/rejection notices) will be sent by the on-line submission system via e-mail. The sender is " hhfes@sbcglobal.net." If you have spam-blocking software or other filters running, please adjust your settings to prevent interference with e-mail messages from hhfes@sbcglobal.net. In addition, if your e-mail address changes during the review period, be sure to notify the review committee at hhfes@sbcglobal.net.

Do not submit your proposal unless you have received internal approval or clearance from your employer, client, or sponsor. Be sure to obtain clearance as soon as possible so you don't miss the March 15 deadline.

HFES reserves the right to reject or cancel presentations that inappropriately promote a product or service. Questions about this policy may be directed to the hhfes@sbcglobal.net, attention: Dr. Henry Romero, Conference Chair.
