IUI 2014
19th International Conference
on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI'2014)
Haifa, Israel February 24-27, 2014
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
IUI 2014 is the 19th 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 the community of people interested in
Human-Computer Interaction
(HCI) meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We
are very interested
in contributions that bridge these two fields and also
related fields, such as
psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts,
etc. IUI researchers
are interested in improving the symbiosis between humans
and computers, so that
interface design and interactive experiences yield higher
performance outcomes.
This may involve designing interfaces that incorporate
intelligent automated
capabilities, if the net impact is a human-computer
interaction that improves
performance or usability in critical ways. It may also
involve designing an
interface that effectively leverages human skills and
capabilities, so that
human performance with an application excels. In other
cases, such as
educational interface design, it may involve exercising
judgment in when not to
automate a function so that humans are encouraged to exert
themselves as they
acquire new skills or domain knowledge.
We call for original submissions that describe novel
technologies and
applications to intelligent user interfaces.
IUI topics of interest including, but not limited to:
* User input
- Processing of multi-modal input
- Natural language and speech processing
- Gestures, eye gaze, face recognition
* Generation of system output
- Intelligent visualization tools
- Intelligent generation of user-consumable content
* Ubiquitous computing
- Intelligent interfaces for ubiquitous computing
- Smart environments and tangible computing
* Help and Persuasive Technologies
- Intelligent assistants for complex tasks
- Support for collaboration in multiuser environments
- Intelligent information and knowledge management
- Persuasive technologies in IUI
* Personalization
- User-adaptivity in interactive systems
- Recommender systems
- Modeling and prediction of user behavior
* AI Techniques in IUI
- Planning and plan recognition
- Reasoning in interfaces
- Knowledge-based systems
* Social Computing
- Affective, social and aesthetic interfaces
- Social networks and collaboration
* IUI Design
- Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design
and generation
- Proactive and agent-based paradigms for user
interaction
- Example-and demonstration-based interfaces
* User studies
- User studies concerning intelligent interfaces
- Evaluations of implemented intelligent user
interfaces
* Semantic Web
- Query interfaces and novel interfaces for Linked Data
- Consuming Linked Data
- Interfaces for creating and using large ontologies
SUBMISSION VENUES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Full and Short Papers
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 2014 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 should make substantial,
novel and relevant
contributions to the field. Short 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
paper either as oral or
poster presentation.
Abstracts Due: October 4, 2013
Full and Short Papers Due: October 9, 2013
* 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.
Submissions Due: December 12, 2013
* Industrial Track
The industrial track represents an opportunity for the
companies in the field to
present their late works (as posters or interactive demos)
and receive valuable
feedback from the research community. It also provides an
opportunity for
recruitment and for networking. The industry track will not
be peer-reviewed but
their relevance for the field will be judged by a jury.
Submissions Due: to be confirmed
* Student Consortium
The IUI 2014 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: November 1, 2013
* Workshops
Workshops will be held on the first 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 16, 2013
