2008 Call for Papers

< Back

It's time for the next generation of user interfaces. People want to do increasingly interesting and complex things with information technologies, but our interfaces need new ways of interacting with people. We can't get to the next generation of user interfaces simply by adding more menus and icons to our already overcrowded screens. Sooner or later, our interfaces need to understand more about what people are doing with them, become self-reflective, and communicate using natural modalities such as speech and gesture.

IUI is where the community of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We're also very interested in contributions from related fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, etc. 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 large amounts of knowledge, heuristics, and emerging technologies such as natural language understanding or gesture recognition.

IUI 2008 will focus on *interface innovation*. We're most interested in truly new ideas about how people and computers could interact. If you've got a new idea about how to make interfaces smarter, easier to use, and more effective, we want to hear it!

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

IUI 2008 submissions should be prepared according to the standard SIGCHI publications format. For your convenience, we provide paper templates in Microsoft Word and LaTeX (New Templates uploaded on Aug 23, 2007):

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 1 October 2007, 5pm US EDT (2100 UTC). 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?

The IUI conference gives you a chance to present and to see work in an intimate, focused, no-nonsense event. It is large enough to be diverse and lively (we expect 150-200 people), but small enough to avoid the circus-like atmosphere of conferences with thousands of people. The vast majority of the attendees are actively involved with conceiving and developing cutting-edge interfaces leading to a high and fast impact of research results presented at IUI. It brings together people from academics, industry, and nonprofits. As an ACM conference, papers appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. There will also be a journal publication path for selected papers. It's a single track conference, so you don't have to miss anything.

And it's always in a beautiful place, in January!


Demos and Short Papers

An evening will be devoted to a poster-style session where Short Papers and Demos will be presented (with food for the attendees!). Both categories will appear in the proceedings. The program will be rounded out by invited speakers, panels, and social events.


IUI topics include, but are not limited to:
