IUI 2015: ACM International Conference on Intelligent User
IUI 2015: ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces
Atlanta, GA, USA - March 29-April 1, 2015
http://iui.acm.org/
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're 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. It's a single track conference, so you don't have to miss
anything!

* User Input
- Processing of multi-modal input
- Natural language and speech processing

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, 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 fullday (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.
