IUI 2015: ACM International Conference on Intelligent User
Interfaces
Atlanta, GA, USA - March 29-April 1, 2015
IUI 2015 is the 20th annual meeting of the intelligent
interfaces community and serves as the principal international
forum for reporting outstanding research and development on
intelligent user interfaces.
IUI is where Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the
Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We're also very
interested in contributions from related fields, such as
psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer
graphics, design, the arts, etc.
Why submit to IUI?
At IUI our focus is to improve the interaction between
machine intelligence and human intelligence – other
conferences focus on one side or the other, whereas we address
the complex interaction between the two. Unlike traditional
AI, our focus is not so much to make the computer smart all by
itself, but to make the interaction between computers and
people smarter. Unlike traditional HCI, we are more willing to
consider solutions that involve data mining, knowledge
representation, novel interaction paradigms, and new emerging
technologies.
The IUI conference brings together people from academia,
industry, and nonprofits and gives you a chance to present and
to see work results in an intimate, focused, and interactive
event. It is large enough to be diverse and lively (we expect
over 200 people), but small enough that you get a chance to
talk to all the attendees, see all the posters, and take in
all the presentations. As an ACM conference, papers appear in
the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. There will also
be a journal publication path for long papers. IUI is a single
track conference, so you don't have to miss anything!

* User Input

SUBMISSION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Full and Short Papers (* New Cooperation Model
between TiiS and IUI *)
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.
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 do expect papers
to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated
contribution. Full papers (10 pages with unlimited references)
should make substantial, novel and relevant contributions to
the field. Short (4 pages with unlimited references) papers
can either contain smaller contributions, novel
ground-breaking ideas, or work in progress. Accepted full
papers will be invited for oral presentation and short papers
either as oral or poster presentation.
Authors of accepted IUI 2015 full papers will have an
opportunity to submit extended versions to the ACM
Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS,
http://tiis.acm.org)
for consideration for a special issue titled "Highlights of
IUI 2015". One of the 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 IUI 2016.
(For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension"
of a conference paper for TiiS, see
http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission)
Abstracts Due: October 13, 2014
Full and Short Papers Due: October 17, 2014
* Posters
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.
Submissions Due: January 16, 2015
* Demonstrations
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.
Submissions Due: January 16, 2015
* Student Consortium
The 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.
Submissions Due: October 31, 2014
* Workshops
Workshops will be held on the first and last day of the
conference. We invite submissions of full-day (6 hours) and
half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the conference
topics.
Workshop Proposals due: September 12, 2014
**** New Cooperation Agreement between the IUI Conference
Series and ACM TiiS ****
The steering committee of the 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:
1. Authors of accepted IUI 2015 full papers IUI 2015 full
papers will have an opportunity to submit extended versions to
the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS,
tiis.acm.org)
for consideration for a special issue titled "Highlights of
IUI 2015". One of the 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 IUI 2016.
(For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension"
of a conference paper for TiiS, see
http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission
).
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 IUI conference) will have
an opportunity to present their work at IUI 2015 in a
presentation slot at least as long as that for an IUI 2015
short paper.
