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. The conference brings together people from academia, industry and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in an focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively (we expect over 200 people), but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Processing of multi-modal input (gestures, eye gaze, face, physiological information etc.) - Natural language and speech processing - Intelligent visualization tools - Generation of multimodal content - Big Data/Text summarization and analytics - Intelligent interfaces for ubiquitous computing - Smart environments and tangible computing - Smart interaction and interfaces for wearable computing - Intelligent assistants for complex tasks - Support for collaboration in multiuser environments - Persuasive and assistive technologies in IUI - Affective, social and aesthetic interfaces - Education and learning-related technologies - User-Adaptive interaction - Recommender systems - Modelling and prediction of user behaviour - Interactive Machine Learning - Planning and plan recognition for IUI - Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation - Proactive and agent-based paradigms for user interaction - Example-and demonstration-based interfaces - Evaluations of intelligent user interfaces SUBMISSION ------------------- Full and Short Papers ----------------------------- We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. IUI 2016 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for the design of intelligent interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contribution. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. Full papers (10 pages with unlimited references) should make substantial, novel and relevant contributions to the field. Short papers (4 pages with unlimited references) can either contain smaller contributions or novel work that is still progress. Accepted full papers will be invited for oral presentation and short papers either as oral or poster presentation. Authors of accepted IUI 2016 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 2016". For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension" of a conference paper for TiiS, see submissions) Abstracts Due: October 9, 2015, 6pm PST Full and Short Papers Due: October 14, 2015, 6pm PST 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. Abstracts Due: December 20, 2015, 6pm PST 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. Abstracts Due: December 20, 2015, 6pm PST Student Consortium --------------------------- The ACM IUI 2016 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 : December 20, 2015, 6pm PST Workshop Proposals ---------------------------- 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. Workshop proposals due: September 4, 2015, 6pm PST Tutorial Proposals ------------------------ 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).
