Note about the video: Despite the rehearsal, the video director didn't "get" that the talk would be of an unusual format and that the
technical slides were just a prop; hence a good deal of camera time in the first few minutes were devoted to the slides and not to the speaker, who was
pantomiming a "Bob Newhart" style phone call interruption. We have tried to make up for that in post-production with some stills and hope that
what was actually going on onstage will be evident from the audio.

NB: In addition to being the 2008 President of HFES, J.F. Kelley was a co-recipient, along with the rest of his IBM team, of the prestigious HFES 1996 Alexander C. Williams, Jr. Award for
"outstanding contribution of Human Factors to the design of a major operational system."
This was for the
Expo '92/World's Fair
project in Seville, Spain (videos available at that link).
