<div dir="ltr"><div>--------------------------- Call for Submissions ---------------------------</div><div>ACM IUI 2015: ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces</div><div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>Atlanta, GA, USA</div><div>March 29 - April 1, 2015</div><div><a href="http://iui.acm.org/">http://iui.acm.org/</a></div><div><br></div><div>ACM IUI 2015 is the 20th annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We are also very interested in contributions from related fields, such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>Why submit to ACM IUI?</div><div>At ACM IUI, we focus on the interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence. While other conferences focus on one side or the other, we address the complex interaction between the two. We welcome research that explores how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter, which may leverage solutions from data mining, knowledge representation, novel interaction paradigms, and emerging technologies. We strongly encourage submissions that discuss research from both HCI and AI simultaneously, but also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other.</div><div><br></div><div>The ACM IUI conference brings together people from academia, industry, nonprofits and government, to showcase and discuss work results in an intimate, focused, and interactive setting. We expect this year’s ACM IUI to be attended by a diverse and livery crowd of over 200 attendees, a good size that allows our attendees to strike up conversations and network with other attendees, see all the posters, and take in all the presentations. As an ACM conference, ACM IUI papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. There will also be a journal publication path for long papers. ACM IUI is a single-track conference, so you will not miss anything!</div><div><br></div><div>Topics of interest (non-exhaustive list)</div><div><br></div><div>* User Input</div><div> - Processing of multi-modal input</div><div> - Natural language and speech processing</div><div> - Gestures, eye gaze, face, emotion recognition</div><div><br></div><div>* Generation of System Output</div><div> - Intelligent visualization tools</div><div> - Intelligent generation of user-consumable content</div><div> - Big Data analytics of rich data types (e.g., temporal/time series, spatial, text, sequence, unstructured, graphs/networks, etc.)</div><div><br></div><div>* Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing</div><div> - Intelligent interfaces for ubiquitous computing</div><div> - Smart environments and tangible computing</div><div> - Smart interaction and interfaces for wearable computing</div><div><br></div><div>* Help and Persuasive Technologies</div><div> - Intelligent assistants for complex tasks</div><div> - Support for collaboration in multiuser environments</div><div> - Persuasive technologies in intelligent user interfaces</div><div> - Education and learning-related technologies</div><div><br></div><div>* Personalization</div><div> - User-adaptivity in interactive systems</div><div> - Recommender systems</div><div> - Modeling and prediction of user behavior</div><div><br></div><div>* AI Techniques in intelligent user interfaces</div><div> - Interactive machine learning and data mining</div><div> - Planning and plan recognition</div><div> - Reasoning in interfaces</div><div><br></div><div>* Social Computing</div><div> - Affective, social and aesthetic interfaces</div><div> - Social networks and collaboration</div><div><br></div><div>* Intelligent User Interface Design</div><div> - Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation</div><div> - Proactive and agent-based paradigms for user interaction</div><div> - Example-and demonstration-based interfaces</div><div><br></div><div>* User Studies</div><div> - User studies concerning intelligent interfaces</div><div> - Evaluations of implemented intelligent user interfaces</div><div><br></div><div>SUBMISSION</div><div>-------------------</div><div><br></div><div>Full and Short Papers (NEW! Special opportunity to submit to the TiiS journal)</div><div>-----------------------------</div><div>We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. ACM IUI 2015 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for interface design. We do not require evaluations with users, but we expect papers to include appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions.</div><div><br></div><div>Full papers (10 pages with unlimited references) should make substantial, novel and relevant contributions to the field. Short papers (4 pages with unlimited references) may present focused contributions, ideas, and work in progress. Accepted full papers will be invited for oral presentation and short papers either as oral or poster presentation.</div><div><br></div><div>Authors of accepted ACM IUI 2015 full papers will have an opportunity to submit extended versions to the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, <a href="http://tiis.acm.org">tiis.acm.org</a>) for consideration for a special issue titled "Highlights of ACM IUI 2015". An ACM IUI 2015 program chair will serve as an associate editor to manage the reviewing for that special issue, and the reviewing schedule will ensure that it appears in the ACM Digital Library in early 2016, before ACM IUI 2016. (For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension" of a conference paper for TiiS, see <a href="http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission">http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>Abstracts Due: October 13, 2014</div><div>Full and Short Papers Due: October 17, 2014</div><div>Rebuttal Start: December 8, 2014</div><div>Rebuttal End: December 12, 2014</div><div>Notification to Authors: December 19, 2014</div><div>Camera-Ready Due: January 16, 2015</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Posters</div><div>----------</div><div>Posters provide an opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early- stage work and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. We invite submissions on all topics of the conference. All submissions should convey a scientific result or work in progress that is not yet ready to be published as a full length research paper at a refereed conference. The page limit for poster papers is 4 pages. Accepted poster papers will appear in the companion proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions Due: January 16, 2015</div><div>Notification to Authors: February 13, 2015</div><div>Camera-Ready Due: February 20, 2015</div><div><br></div><div>Demonstrations</div><div>---------------------</div><div>The demonstrations track complements the overall program of the conference. Demonstrations show implementations of novel, interesting, and important intelligent user interface concepts or systems. We invite submissions relevant to intelligent user interfaces and which address, but are not limited to, the topics of the conference. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages. The page limit for demo papers is 4 pages. Accepted demo papers will be published in the companion proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions Due: January 16, 2015</div><div>Notification to Authors: February 13, 2015</div><div>Camera-Ready Due: February 20, 2015</div><div><br></div><div>Student Consortium</div><div>---------------------------</div><div>The ACM IUI 2015 Student Consortium provides an opportunity for Masters and Doctoral students to present and receive feedback about their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of mentors, selected from senior people in the field. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their research to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress, but who are not so far along their research that they can no longer make changes.</div><div><br></div><div>Students who are accepted into the consortium will receive partial financial support for their travel to the conference. Details of the financial support will be announced soon.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions Due: January 16, 2015</div><div>Notification to Authors: February 13, 2015</div><div>Camera-Ready Due: February 20, 2015</div><div><br></div><div>Workshop Proposals</div><div>----------------------------</div><div>We invite proposals for full-day and half-day workshops on topics that are of interest to the ACM IUI community. Workshops will be held on the first (March 29) and last day (April 1) of the conference. The conference may provide a free registration for each workshop to assist its organization.</div><div><br></div><div>Workshop proposals due: September 12, 2014</div><div>Notification: October 15, 2014</div><div><br></div><div>Tutorial Proposals</div><div>------------------------</div><div>We invite proposals for tutorials from active researchers and experienced presenters. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research and development in a specific area strongly related to ACM IUI. Tutorials on interdisciplinary areas, novel or fast growing directions, and significant practical applications are also encouraged. Accepted tutorial organizers will be exempt from the registration fee (one per tutorial).</div><div><br></div><div>Tutorials proposals due: September 12, 2014</div><div>Notification: October 15, 2014</div><div><br></div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>**** New Cooperation Agreement between the ACM IUI Conference Series and ACM TiiS ****</div><div><br></div><div>The steering committee of the ACM IUI conference series has agreed with the editors-in-chief of the ACM TiiS on the following forms of collaboration between the conference and the journal, which will be repeated in subsequent years:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Authors of accepted ACM IUI 2015 full papers will have an opportunity to submit extended versions to the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, <a href="http://tiis.acm.org">tiis.acm.org</a>) for consideration for a special issue titled "Highlights of ACM IUI 2015". One of the ACM IUI 2015 program chairs will serve as an associate editor who manages the reviewing for that special issue, and the reviewing schedule will ensure that it appears in the ACM Digital Library in early 2016, before ACM IUI 2016. (For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension" of a conference paper for TiiS, see <a href="http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission">http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission</a> ).</div><div><br></div><div>2. The authors of any TiiS article that has been accepted during the year 2014 (and that does not represent an extension of a paper presented at an earlier ACM IUI conference) will have an opportunity to present their work at ACM IUI 2015 in a presentation slot at least as long as that for an ACM IUI 2015 short paper.</div><div>************************************************************************</div><div><br></div><div>ACM IUI 2015 ORGANIZERS</div><div>----------------------------------------</div><div>General Co-Chairs <<a href="mailto:chair2015@iui.acm.org">chair2015@iui.acm.org</a>>:</div><div> - Oliver Brdiczka, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)</div><div> - Polo Chau, Georgia Tech</div><div><br></div><div>Program Co-Chairs <<a href="mailto:program2015@iui.acm.org">program2015@iui.acm.org</a>>:</div><div> - Giuseppe Carenini, University of British Columbia</div><div> - Shimei Pan, IBM Research</div><div> - Per Ola Kristensson, University of Cambridge</div><div><br></div><div>Treasurer <<a href="mailto:treasurer2015@iui.acm.org">treasurer2015@iui.acm.org</a>>:</div><div> - Jalal Mahmud, IBM Research</div><div><br></div><div>Sponsorship Chair <<a href="mailto:sponsors2015@iui.acm.org">sponsors2015@iui.acm.org</a>>:</div><div> - Sumit Basu, Microsoft Research</div><div><br></div><div>Workshop and Tutorial Co-Chairs <<a href="mailto:workshop-tutorial2015@iui.acm.org">workshop-tutorial2015@iui.acm.org</a>>:</div><div> - Ben Steichen, University of British Columbia</div><div> - Nava Tintarev, University of Aberdeen</div><div><br></div><div>Poster and Demo Co-Chairs <<a href="mailto:poster2015@iui.acm.org">poster2015@iui.acm.org</a>>:</div><div> - Sven Kratz, FXPAL</div><div> - Eelco Herder, L3S</div><div><br></div><div>Student Consortium Co-Chairs <<a href="mailto:studentconsortium2015@iui.acm.org">studentconsortium2015@iui.acm.org</a>>:</div><div> - Wai-Tat Fu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign</div><div> - Brent Hecht, University of Minnesota</div><div><br></div><div>Publicity Co-Chairs <<a href="mailto:publicity2015@iui.acm.org">publicity2015@iui.acm.org</a>>:</div><div> - Alan Said (social media), TU Delft</div><div> - Matthijs van Leeuwen (website), KU Leuven</div><div> - Jilles Vreeken (website), MPII</div><div> - Ali Jahanian (website), Purdue University</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr">-- <div>Alan Said</div><div>Multimedia Computing Group</div><div>Delft University of Technology</div><div>e: <a href="mailto:alansaid@acm.org" target="_blank">alansaid@acm.org</a></div><div>t: @alansaid</div><div>w: <a href="http://www.alansaid.com" target="_blank">www.alansaid.com</a></div></div></div>
