Submissions Due: March 15, 2001

The Internet Technical Group (ITG) will be publishing Internetworking, a quarterly publication on our web site . This will be a place to exchange information on any topic related to web usability and other internet-related human factors issues. Internetworking is interested in interesting research you are doing, lessons you have learned in developing for the web, opinions about the state of web development, good books or articles you have read, clever and useful design techniques, tools you use, etc. We particularly want to emphasize things that don't get published other places. For example, late breaking information that shouldn't have to wait until the next conference or tips from design experience you won't find in a journal.

All are welcome to join the ITG and participate in submitting articles, opinions, and reviews to Internetworking - won't you help us in our efforts and share with the Human Factors/Internet community?

Call for Articles
Articles are being sought for the newsletter. Examples of specific areas of interest include:

• User interface design of web content, web-based applications, web browsers, webtops, web-based user assistance and Internet devices
• Methodologies for research, design, and testing
• Behavioral and sociological phenomena associated with distributed network communication and related technological innovation
• Privacy, security, community, and other socio-technical issues WWW, email, USENET, chat, listserves, shared applications, push and streaming technologies, VRML, video-conferencing, Internet- based agents, visualization, navigation and manipulation of Internet-based information spaces
• Human reliability in administration and maintenance of data networks
• Human factors in electronic commerce, and on-line product data management and document management
• Guidelines and standards for interface design, for the Web and Web-based applications
• Accessibility of Web-based development

Please send article questions, comments, or submissions to Judy Cantor at jcantor@giantstep.com

Call for Opinions
The opinions section provides an opportunity to tell ITG members what you think. You don't need empirical evidence -- just an interesting point of view.

You can tell us what is wrong -- or right -- with the web, and other Internet technologies, today. Prognosticate on where the Net is heading in the future. Tell us how the interface design process for web applications can be improved. Provide a counterpoint to someone else's opinion. Be Andy Rooney for a day.

Submit to Anthony Masalonis at masalonis@cua.edu

Call for Reviews
One section of the newsletter will present reviews. Please submit reviews of important books and articles (published either in hard copy or on the web) that address web site and web application development. Conference reports and reviews of web sites and web-related products are also welcome.

So that we can avoid multiple reviews of the same, please notify Roger Tilson at rtilson@us.ibm.com about which book(s), article(s), etc. you would like to review.

Submissions are needed by August 1 for Internetworking's June publication. As the newsletter will be published on the web, please have submissions in HTML or a web-compatible format. Contact the respective editor(s) for exceptions.
