IUI 2005 seeks high-quality, original submissions of reports on research about intelligent user interfaces. It encourages participation by both academic and industrial researchers and developers. All submissions will be reviewed by a distinguished international program committee.

Please note: We have placed the submission deadline as close as possible to the publication date. It will therefore be impossible for us to grant even the smallest extension. For clarity and fairness, the server will stop accepting submissions just after 11:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time (i.e., San Diego time). Please plan accordingly when preparing your submissions!

Tracks	Submission Deadlines
Long Papers	Submissions due	Monday, 20 September 2004, 11:59 pm PDT
Short Papers	Submissions due	Monday, 20 September 2004, 11:59 pm PDT
Tutorials	Proposals due	Monday, 16 August 2004

All paper submissions and reviews will be handled via www.conferencereview.com

Why submit to IUI 2005?

The series of annual conferences on Intelligent User Interfaces is the principal international forum for the presentation and discussion of outstanding research and applications involving intelligent user interfaces. Its proceedings, which are available both as hard copy and via the ACM Digital Library, are widely read and cited.

The central track of the technical program comprises plenary presentations of full-length papers, which are selected by the program committee after in-depth analysis and discussion. A complementary set of short paper presentations and demos stimulates discussion on work in progress.

The quality of the reviewing process is being further enhanced this year with the introduction of "meta-reviewers" (see below).

The conference experience also includes a variety of other activities: workshops, tutorials, invited talks by leading figures, and an occasional panel. Just as important are the lively informal discussions that are encouraged by the fact that most of the conference events are attended by all of the participants.

Topics

Topics of interest for IUI include all aspects of intelligent user interfaces. Successful papers will include aspects of both intelligence and interface. The following are sample topics:

Interpretation of user input

	Processing of multimodal input
	Natural language and speech processing
	Affective interfaces

Generation of system output

	Intelligent visualization tools
	Intelligent generation of multimedia presentations

Ubiquitous computing

	Intelligent interfaces for ubiquitous computing
	Smart environments

Help

	Intelligent assistants for complex tasks
	Support for collaboration in multiuser environments
	Intelligent information and knowledge management

Categories of intelligence

	User-adaptivity in interactive systems
	Personalization and recommender systems
	Modeling and prediction of user behavior
	Planning and plan recognition

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

The programs of previous IUI conferences are available via the conference web site (see www.iuiconf.org/pastiui).

IUI 2005 encourages submissions from those who have done relevant work but who have not previously submitted to an IUI conference. In case of doubt about the relevance of your work, do not hesitate to ask the program chairs (papers at iuiconf.org) or the short paper chairs (short-papers at iuiconf.org) for advice.

Submission of Long and Short Papers

There are two categories of paper submission:

	LONG PAPER submissions should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. Each accepted long paper will be presented in a plenary session of the main conference program. An accompanying demonstration can be presented in a poster/demo session. The maximum length is 8 pages in the two-column ACM conference format.
	SHORT PAPER submissions typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. Each accepted short paper will be presented in a poster/demo session. The presentation may include a system demonstration. The maximum length is 3 pages.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Each long paper submission will also be read by a "meta-reviewer": a senior program committee member who will produce a coherent summary of the reviews.

An Outstanding Paper Award will be presented to the one or two strongest papers submitted to the long paper track. These papers will be selected by the program committee on the basis of the significance of the contribution, the relevance to the IUI conference, and the quality of the writing. The Outstanding Paper(s) will be publicized before and after the conference, and the authors will receive a modest monetary award and a framed award certificate in recognition of their contribution to the field.

Accepted papers from both categories will be included in the conference proceedings, to be published in hard copy by the ACM Press and electronically in the ACM Digital Library (http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm).

Long and short papers must be formatted according to the two-column format of the SIGCHI conference series. Templates for MS Word and Frame Maker are available from http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigchi/chipubform. A LaTex style file is available from http://dfki.de/~jameson/iui05/latex-style.html. Papers that exceed the length limit for their category will not be reviewed, nor will those whose text is squeezed into the allowed number of pages via changes to the basic style (e.g., the use of a smaller font).

Multiple submissions policy: A paper should not be submitted to IUI 2005 if the same paper - or a substantially similar version - has already been accepted for publication by another conference, if it is currently under review for another conference, or if it will be submitted to another conference by 1 November 2004.

To submit a long or short paper, please visit http://www.conferencereview.com and follow the instructions given there. (Note to Linux users: Although the Conference Reviewing System has not been officially validated for use under Linux, according to the experience of the program cochairs it is unlikely that you will actually encounter difficulties.)

Timeline for long and short papers:
Monday, 20 September 2004, 11:59 pm PDT	Submission of manuscripts for review
Monday, 1 November 2004	Notification about acceptance or rejection
Monday, 22 November 2004	Submission of camera-ready copy for accepted papers

Workshops

The purpose of the workshops is to provide an informal forum for practitioners and researchers to discuss their current work and issues of common interest. The formats of the workshops will be determined by their organizers, who are encouraged to foster discussion and exchange of ideas by including mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations, differentiating their workshops clearly from typical conference sessions.

For further information about the submission of workshop proposals, see the separate workshop page.

Timeline for workshop proposal submissions:
Monday, 16 August 2004	Submission of proposal
Monday, 30 August 2004	Notification about acceptance or rejection
Monday, 6 September 2004	Submission of call for participation

Tutorials

The purpose of a tutorial is either to offer an introduction to a fairly broad topic for newcomers to intelligent user interfaces or to enable experienced participants to deepen their knowledge of a more specific topic.

For further information about the submission of tutorial proposals, see the separate tutorial page.
