Introduction

摘要

This year's conference was a success despite the government sequester and despite a number of related and un-related cancellations. For one thing, we enjoyed a maximum room count of some 42 attendees and an average count of 30.5, slightly better than the overall, average DSS13 conference room count of 29.4. We were well within the 10 - 15％ down-turn experienced by the symposium as a whole. And whereas we went from 20 abstracts to only 11 presented papers, those papers covered a diversity of topics - ranging from display ergonomics to information management - were of high quality and great interest to our audience.
