HCI professionals and developers who work with 4GLs have special problems that normal development techniques do not address. As the designer of the new version of a 4GL program, Uniface7, I am interested in facilitating communication among HCI professionals who workw ith 4GLS either as developers of 4GLs or users of 4GLs. I specifically would like to know if there is interest in forming a Special Interest Group over 4GL HCI issues. I would see the purpose as fold: 1) Get 4GL developers (i.e., people who develop 4GLs) and 4GL users (i.e., people that work with a 4GL) together to share experiences in working/developing 4GL products 2) Bring HCI 4GL people together to combine our experience in solving special 4GL HCI problems (e.g., working with a limited interface palette, developing for multiple platforms) 3) Help develop 4GLs to more usable standards 4) Develop a "usability packet" especially for 4GL users to help in their development of usable applications. (Guidelines on what they need and how they can go about it) I am sure there are other possibilities for this group that I can't think of at 9:30 in the morning. If there is any interest, please send me an e-mail. I will try to organize an informal meeting at the CHI conference in Atlanta.
