22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces

IUI 2017

St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus

March 13-16, 2017

Overview

ACM IUI 2017 is the 22nd annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces

community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting

outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus.

Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two

ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian

Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and

contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval

Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two

Marinas, world renowned 5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping,

nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond

the expectations of a Mediterranean island.

ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets

the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as

psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design

or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and

machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as

solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine

learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge

representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any

relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations.

IUI 2017 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in

conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a

venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal

forum to discuss research questions and challenges. 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.

We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshops, including but not

limited to:

· "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their

own paper submission and review processes.

· "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter

review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).

· "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to

ask participants to submit a position statement.

· "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an

existing large scale (e.g. EU funded) project.

· "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hack-a-thons around selected topics

with individual or team participation.

Proposal Format

Note: The key to a successful workshop submission is to CONTACT THE

CHAIRS WITH YOUR IDEAS (workshop2017iui.acm.org), and work together

to prepare an exciting proposal!

Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the

formatting instructions from SIGCHI Paper Format, http://www.sigchi.org

/publications/chipubform. Please submit your proposal by e-mail to the

workshop chairs at workshop2017iui.acm.org.

The proposals should be organized as follows:

· Name and title: A one-word workshop acronym and a full title.

· Description of workshop topic and goal: This description should discuss

the relevance of the suggested topic to IUI and its interest for the IUI 2017

audience. Include a brief discussion of why and for which audience the

workshop is of particular interest.

· Organizers: Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the workshop

organizers. This can be a single person or a group of people. Strong

proposals normally include organizers who bring differing perspectives on

the topic and are actively connected to the communities of potential

participants. Please indicate the primary contact person and the organizers

who plan to attend the workshop.

· Previous history: List of previous workshops that were held on the topic

including the conferences that hosted past workshops and the number of

participants. Also please provide the list of other workshops organized by

workshop organizers in the past.

· Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members of the

workshop program committee that will evaluate the workshop submissions.

· Participants: A statement saying how many participants you expect and how

you plan to invite participants for the workshop. We recommend the

proposal to include the names of at least 10 people who have expressed

interest to participate in the workshop.

· Workshop format: A brief description of the workshop format regarding the

mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels,

demonstrations, and general discussion.

· Length: Full-day or half-day.

· Proposal format: Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long

and follow the formatting instructions from SIGCHI: http://www.sigchi.org

/publications/chipubform.

Additional Guidelines

· Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chairs

and the IUI 2017 program committee chairs.

· Organizers: We strongly encourage the workshop organizers to attend IUI

and take part in their workshop. This can make the workshops more

appealing for the participants and strengthen the discussion part.

· Workshop summary: An extended abstract (max. 3 pages) with a summary

of the workshop goals and an overview of the workshop topics will be

included in the ACM Digital Library for IUI 2017.

· Workshop proceedings: At the convenience of the workshop organizers, we

will arrange a joint volume of online proceedings for the workshop papers.

Workshops should request the authors to submit papers in the ACM SIGCHI

Paper Format.

· Cancellation: Workshops with fewer than 10 submissions by December 23,

2016 may be cancelled. This will be done in consultation between the

workshop chairs of IUI 2017 and the workshop organizers.

Additionally, we strongly encourage to have workshop organizers from

different institutions and research communities, bringing different

perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative

structure that attracts various types of contributions and ensures rich

interactions.

The organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for producing a call

for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant

newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences

from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop organizers will

maintain their own web site with updated information about the workshop

and the IUI 2017 web site will refer to the workshop site. The workshop

organizers will coordinate the paper sollicitation, collection, and review

process, and coordinate the production of the joint online proceedings with

IUI 2017 workshop chairs.
