2007 Call for Papers

< Back

IUI 2007 seeks high-quality, original submissions of reports on research about intelligent user interfaces. It encourages participation from around the globe 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. Please plan accordingly when preparing your submissions!


 Tracks  Submission Deadlines
 Long Papers  Monday, 18 September 2006, 11:59 pm PDT
 Short Papers  Monday, 18 September 2006, 11:59 pm PDT
 Tutorial proposals  Monday, 14 August 2006, 11:59pm PDT
 Workshop proposals  Monday, 14 August 2006, 11:59pm PDT

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

IUI 2007 submissions should be prepared according to the standard SIGCHI publications format. For your convenience, we provide paper templates in Microsoft Word and LaTeX:

The page limit for long papers is 10 pages, and for short papers is 4 pages. IUI does not use blind review, so please include authors' names and affiliations on your submission.

Submissions must be in PDF format. All papers must be submitted on the Conference Review site before Monday, 18 September 2006, 11:59 pm PDT. We are on a very short timeline, and no extensions will be granted under any circumstances. If you are planning to work up to the last minute, we recommend submitting a copy of your paper several hours before the deadline, just in case. You can continue to upload revised copies up until the deadline.


Why submit to IUI 2007?

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 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:


Collaboration

  • Support for collaboration in multiuser environments
  • Personalization and recommender systems


User modelling

  • User-adaptivity in interactive systems
  • Modeling and prediction of user behavior


Interface design

  • Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation
  • Proactive and agent-based paradigms for user interaction


User studies

  • User studies concerning intelligent interfaces
  • Evaluations of implemented intelligent user interfaces


Interpretation of user input


Generation of system output


Ubiquitous computing


Intelligent systems

The programs of previous IUI conferences are available via the conference web site (see Past IUI Conferences).

IUI 2007 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 10 pages in the two-column SIGCHI conference paper 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 4 pages in SIGCHI format.

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. Papers that exceed the length limit, or that squeeze extra text into the allowed number of pages via changes to the style, will not be reviewed.

Multiple submissions policy: A paper should not be submitted to IUI 2007 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 18 September 2006.

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, 18 September 2006, 11:59 pm PDT  Submission of manuscripts for review
 Monday, 6 November 2006  Notification about acceptance or rejection
 Monday, 21 November 2006  Camera-ready submissions due to publisher


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 conference website.

 Monday, 14 August 2006  Submission of proposal
 Monday, 4 September 2006  Notification about acceptance or rejection
 Monday, 11 September 2006  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 conference website.
