<div> IUI 2014</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> 19th International Conference</div>
<div> on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI'2014)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Haifa, Israel February 24-27, 2014</div>

</div>
<div>SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST</div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>IUI 2014 is the 19th annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and</div>
<div>serves as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research</div>
<div>and development on intelligent user interfaces.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>IUI is where the community of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction</div>
<div>(HCI) meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We are very interested</div>
<div>in contributions that bridge these two fields and also related fields, such as</div>
<div>psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, etc. IUI researchers</div>
<div>are interested in improving the symbiosis between humans and computers, so that</div>
<div>interface design and interactive experiences yield higher performance outcomes.</div>
<div>This may involve designing interfaces that incorporate intelligent automated</div>
<div>capabilities, if the net impact is a human-computer interaction that improves</div>
<div>performance or usability in critical ways. It may also involve designing an</div>
<div>interface that effectively leverages human skills and capabilities, so that</div>
<div>human performance with an application excels. In other cases, such as</div>
<div>educational interface design, it may involve exercising judgment in when not to</div>
<div>automate a function so that humans are encouraged to exert themselves as they</div>
<div>acquire new skills or domain knowledge.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We call for original submissions that describe novel technologies and</div>
<div>applications to intelligent user interfaces.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>

</div>
<div>SUBMISSION VENUES</div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Full and Short Papers</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces,</div>
<div>applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or</div>
<div>design techniques. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.</div>
<div>IUI 2014 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new</div>
<div>concepts or directions for interface design. We do not require evaluations with</div>
<div>users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their</div>
<div>stated contribution. Full papers should make substantial, novel and relevant</div>
<div>contributions to the field. Short papers can either contain smaller</div>
<div>contributions, novel ground-breaking ideas, or work in progress. Accepted full</div>
<div>papers will be invited for oral presentation and short paper either as oral or</div>
<div>poster presentation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Abstracts Due: October 4, 2013 </div>
<div>Full and Short Papers Due: October 9, 2013</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Demonstrations</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The demonstrations track complements the overall program of the conference.</div>
<div>Demonstrations show implementations of novel, interesting, and important</div>
<div>intelligent user interface concepts or systems. We invite submissions relevant</div>
<div>to intelligent user interfaces and which address, but are not limited to, the</div>
<div>topics of the conference. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific</div>
<div>result or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial</div>
<div>software packages.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Submissions Due: December 12, 2013</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Industrial Track</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The industrial track represents an opportunity for the companies in the field to </div>
<div>present their late work (as presentations, posters or interactive demos) and </div>
<div>receive valuable feedback from the research community. It also provides an </div>
<div>opportunity for recruitment and for networking. The industry track will not be </div>
<div>peer-reviewed but the relevance of proposals for the field will be judged by </div>
<div>a jury. Please contact industry track chairs at indtrackchair2014@iuiconf.org</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Submissions Due: November 15, 2013</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Student Consortium</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The IUI 2014 Student Consortium provides an opportunity for Masters and Doctoral</div>
<div>students to present and receive feedback about their research in an</div>
<div>interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of mentors, selected</div>
<div>from senior people in the field. We invite students who feel they would benefit</div>
<div>from this kind of feedback on their research to apply for this unique</div>
<div>opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as</div>
<div>senior researchers in the field. The strongest candidates will be those who have</div>
<div>a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress, but who are</div>
<div>not so far along their research that they can no longer make changes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Submissions Due: November 1, 2013</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Workshops</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Workshops will be held on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions</div>
<div>of full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the</div>
<div>conference topics.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Workshop Proposals due: September 16, 2013</div>
