International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces

Tutorial Instructions

Duration

Each tutorial is designed to be a half-day or full-day in duration. Half-day tutorials are 3 hours long (not including breaks). Full day tutorials are 6 hours long (not including breaks). Please indicate the duration of your proposed tutorial.

Attendee Background

The background of attendees assumed by the tutorial should be described explicitly and in detail in the proposal. Include any pre-requisites such as knowledge of HCI content, processes, and procedures. State any skills that are needed to understand tutorial content or to complete the exercises.

Topics

Tutorials cover a wide range of topics. In the past, they have covered: introductions and overviews of intelligent user interfaces, agent-based user interfaces, and interface evaluation.

Review Process

Tutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their estimated benefit for prospective participants and on their fit within the tutorials program as a whole. Factors to be considered include relevance, timeliness, importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half-day or full-day tutorial format; use of presentation methods that offer participants direct experience with the material being taught; and past experience and qualifications of the instructors.

Selection is also based on the overall distribution of topics, approaches (overview, theory, methodology, how-to), audience experience levels, and specialties of the intended audiences. Thus, not all tutorials of technical merit can be accommodated within the tutorials program.
