UM 94
                YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE

        Fourth International Conference on User Modeling
             Hyannis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts U.S.A.
                       15 - 19 August 1994



Research in the field of user modeling and user-adapted
interaction provides crucial foundations for improving the
usability of interactive software systems and technical devices
in many application areas.  UM-94, the Fourth International
Conference on User Modeling, will offer a forum for presenting
the results of academic and industrial research in this field to
an international audience.  The conference will gather
international researchers in User Modeling from a broad spectrum
of interdisciplinary fields.  Whereas UM-86, UM-90 and UM-92 were
invitational workshops, UM-94 will be a conference with open
participation.  Much of the original character will be preserved,
however, by holding the meeting in a workshop-like setting, with
ample room for presentations, special interest group meetings and
system demonstrations.

Enclosed in this package are a Tentative Program Schedule, the Call
for Papers, Registration and Accommodations forms, along with
information about activities happening in and around the Cape Cod
Area. There is a bus service that will be operating to and from Logan
International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts, for which schedules will
be made available closer to the conference date.  We believe that
attendees will find the conference facilities superb, and the
atmosphere of Cape Cod in the summer time outstanding.

UM 94

Hyannis, Massachusetts and Cape Cod


Location

"The southernmost tip of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts stretches
approximately 100 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean.  This wonderful
peninsula is known as Cape Cod: the northside shore opens to the cool
waters of Massachusetts Bay while the southern beaches reach to the
warm and gentle waters of Nantucket Sound.  Centrally situated is the
town of Barnstable with shorefront on both north and south coasts."

"Within the town of Barnstable are seven villages: Barnstable, West
Barnstable, Marstons Mills, Cotuit, Osterville, Centerville and
Hyannis.  The largest and most central is the village of Hyannis - the
Hub of the Cape: terminus for island ferries, major bus
transportation, and airlines.  The Islands of Nantucket and Martha's
Vineyard lie to the east and southeast of the mainland."

History

"The history of Hyannis and the Town of Barnstable is rich and
colorful, from the first explorer to yesterday."

"In 1602, Capt. Bartholomew Gosnold was the first of the Old World
explorers to view the area known as Hyannis."

"In 1620, the Pilgrims stopped in Hyannisport but were deterred from
settling here permanently because of the extremely low tides and
treacherous rocky harbor.  However, settlers from Barnstable, England
did incorporate the town of Barnstable in 1639."

"The early settlers of the town of Barnstable were primarily farmers
who turned toward the sea.  The maritime harvest was plentiful, for
frequently there were drift whales on our beaches.  By the close of
the 19th century over 800 shipmasters sailed worldwide for the
homeport of Barnstable, Massachusetts.  Many of these brave mariners
established strong family ties in our area and their descendents are
still vital, well-known members of our community today."

"City dwellers had begun to appreciate the pleasures of summer
vacations spent by the edge of the sea.  In 1872, the Hyannis Land
Company purchased nearly 1,000 acres extending from Lewis Bay to
Craigville, including most of Hyannisport, for about $100.  Thus began
the ever expanding tourist industry radiating from Hyannis."

"Among the earliest nationally known personalities to enjoy the
Hyannis area was President Ulysses S. Grant in 1874.  Some years later
President Grover Cleveland visited Hyannisport.  During the 1960's the
eyes of the world focused on Hyannis when native son John F. Kennedy
ascended to the Presidency of the United States."

Hyannis, The Hub of the Cape

"Hyannis is the largest of Barnstable's seven principal villages and
is within one day's drive of one third of the population of the United
States, with 6 million people entering and leaving Hyannis year
round."

"Hyannis is the Cape's commercial and transportation hub."

"Known as Cape Cod's urban center, Hyannis boasts the area's largest
concentration of businesses, shops, motels, hotels, restaurants and
entertainment spots.  Located mid-Cape, 40 miles from Plymouth and 50
miles from Provincetown, Hyannis is the perfect 'take off' point for
exciting side trips."

"Downtown you'll find Main Street: from east end to west end, a
variety of specialty shops, factory outlets and eateries to dazzle the
eye and palate.  Midway along Main Street be sure to enter the Old
Town Hall for a tour of the JFK Museum, the Cape Years, an exhibit
which highlights the special aura Cape Cod offered to President
Kennedy."

"Within pleasant walking distance of Main Street is Hyannis Harbor.
At the intersection of South and Ocean Streets, you will see the newly
refurbished Aseiton Park, the beginning of the proposed scenic Walkway
to the Sea.  As you travel this route, enjoy the ambiance of the dock
area of Hyannis Harbor at Bismore Park.  There, awaiting visitors, are
the ferries for the islands of Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, as well
as excursion and charter boats for daily fishing trips, catboat and
windjammer scenic cruises of the harbor and replica steamboats to
carry passengers on frequent sightseeing tours.  Beyond the harbor
area is the JFK Memorial Park on Ocean Street overlooking Veteran's
Beach.  Continue along Ocean Street to Kalmus Beach which boasts
shoreline on both Hyannis Harbor and Lewis Bay.  The village of
Hyannis also offers the Orrin Keyes beach on Sea Street for additional
sunning, swimming, shelling, and strolling."

"For a different water vista and activity enjoy the flavor of
whale-watching cruises from Barnstable Harbor on the north side of the
Cape, or from Provincetown."
