CALL FOR PROPOSALS

We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Tutorials are designed to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent user interfaces, and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Note: We encourage you to contact the chairs with your ideas (workshops2020@iui.acm.org), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal. In contrast to other conferences, workshops and tutorials are free and open to all IUI2020 attendees.

We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshops and tutorials, including but not limited to:

  • "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper submission and review processes.
  • "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).
  • "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to ask participants to submit a position statement.
  • "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an existing large scale (e.g. NSF, EU, etc. funded) project.
  • "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics with individual or team participation.
  • Tutorials on a specific topic relevant to IUI; for example, methods and approaches in HCI and/or AI, specific techniques or algorithms to develop intelligent user interfaces, etc.

Workshops and tutorials will be held on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions of proposals for full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshop or tutorial. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop and tutorials chairs.

Workshops with few submissions by Friday, 20 December 2019 may be cancelled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise restructured. The organizers of accepted workshops and tutorials are responsible for producing a call for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop and tutorial organizers will maintain their own website with information about the workshop or tutorial and the IUI 2020 web site will refer to the this website. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation, collection, and review process. A workshop and tutorials summary will be included in the ACM Digital Library for IUI 2020, however, there will be no archived published proceedings of workshop papers this year. We strongly encourage workshop organizers to arrange a volume of online proceedings for their workshop papers themselves, for example, by using www.ceur-ws.org.
