***************************************************************************
2006 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2006)
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Sydney, Australia
January 29, 2006 to February 1, 2006 (Workshops: January 29, 2006)
http://www.iuiconf.org/
IUI 2006 is the annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community
and serves as the principal international forum for reporting
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.
The purpose of a workshop is to provide an informal forum where
practitioners and researchers can 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.
Possible foci of workshops may include:
- principles/emerging areas/concerns/applications of intelligent
interfaces and their applications in the field of human-computer
interaction and artificial intelligence
- methodologies, applications, and evaluation
- tools, design environments, and related infrastructure that assist
designers and developers in the user interface development life cycle
Workshops are intended to last a half day or a full day. They will be
held on Sunday, 29 January 2006, just before the technical sessions.
Submission Format
Each proposal should contain the following information:
1. A cover page including:
- Workshop title
- Name, affiliation, postal address, and e-mail address for each
organizer
- Identification of the primary contact person(s)
2. Background and Motivation: What is the overall topic of the
workshop? Why is this topic of particular interest at this time?
If the workshop has been organized in the past at an IUI or other
conference, please give details (audience, URL) and describe why it
should be held again and how improvements will be made.
3. Objectives: What are the objectives that the workshop aims to
achieve? Objectives may include (a) targeting a predefined set of
focus questions, (b) presenting alternate views on a particular
issue that is of concern to the IUI community and attempting to
resolve the issue, (c) identifying priorities for new directions of
research, and/or (d) initiating the appropriate collaborations.
4. Format: Give a description of the proposed workshop format,
including the planned activities (such as position statements,
invited talks, panels, demos, and general discussion), as well as
how these activities address the workshop objectives. Preference
will be given to proposals for activities designed to fuel
discussion and interaction among participants; workshops consisting
solely of paper presentations are discouraged. Provide a
preliminary schedule with estimated times. Design your schedule for
a length of 3 hours (half-day workshop) or 6 hours (full-day
workshop) with a lunch break and one or two coffee breaks,
respectively.
5. Potential Participants: Indicate how you plan to select
participants and contributions to the workshop. State your estimate
of the number of participants. If possible, give a list of
tentatively confirmed participants.
6. Workshop attraction: Indicate how you plan to attract submissions
and/or participants. If you have a plan to edit a book or a
journal special issue as a result of your workshop, please indicate
it.
7. Organizers: Give short descriptions of each of the organizers'
qualifications related to the workshop topics. Indicate if you are
planning to have a program committee to help with the
organization/review process, and give names and contact information
of PC members, if available.
Organizer's Responsibilities
The organizers of a workshop will be responsible for:
- Producing a one-page abstract for inclusion in the conference
proceedings.
- Producing and distributing a Call for Participation.
- It should be made clear that all workshop participants are required
to register for both the IUI conference and for the workshop.
- Selecting the workshop participants and the contributions to be
included in the workshop.
- Maintaining a web site that contains the materials from the workshop
and links common important dates to the IUI website to ensure
coherence.
- Producing one large printable PDF with workshop material (if
applicable/required) in order that the conference may print workshop
proceedings.
- All workshop materials must be made available via the workshop
website.
- Scheduling and coordinating the activities of the workshop.

********************************************************************************
2006 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2006)
CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
Sydney, Australia
January 29, 2006 to February 1, 2006 (Tutorials: January 29, 2006)
http://www.iuiconf.org/
Scope
IUI 2006 is the annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community
and serves as the principal international forum for reporting
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.
Tutorials provide conference participants with the opportunity to gain
new insights, knowledge, and skills in intelligent user interfaces.
Tutorial topics may range from practical guidelines and standards to
academic issues and theory. Proposals will be reviewed by the tutorial
co-chairs.
Objectives
Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:
- Introduce novices to major topics concerning intelligent user
interfaces.
- Provide instruction in established practices and methodologies.
- Survey a mature area of IUI research and/or practice.
- Motivate and explain an IUI topic of emerging importance.
- Introduce IUI experts to an IUI subarea in which they are not
specialists.
Duration
Tutorials may last a half day or a full day. Half-day tutorials are
three hours long (not including breaks). Full-day tutorials are six
hours long (not including breaks).
Important Dates
Proposals due August 26, 2005
Notification of acceptance September 5, 2005
Tutorial announcement due September 12, 2005
Camera-ready summary due November 14, 2005
Tutorial date January 29, 2006
Submission Format
Those interested in presenting a tutorial should submit a proposal to
the Tutorial Chairs by email with a maximum length of 5 pages in PDF.
A tutorial proposal should contain the following information:
- Title. Title of the tutorial
- Description. A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for
inclusion in the conference registration brochure, including both a
one-sentence and a one-paragraph description.
- Duration. Duration of your tutorial (half- or full-day).
- Objective. Indicate which of the objectives listed above are best
served by the proposed tutorial.
- Justification. An explanation of why the tutorial topic would be of
interest to a substantial part of the IUI audience.
- Audience. Characterization of the potential target audience for the
tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge.
- Outline. A detailed outline of the tutorial including a tentative
schedule of topics to be dealt with with time allocations.
- Instructor Biography. A brief resume of the instructor(s), which
should include name, postal address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail
address, background in the tutorial area, any available example of
work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article or
slides on the subject), evidence of teaching experience, and
evidence of scholarship in IUI, AI, and/or HCI.
- Requirements. List any materials needed to run the tutorial, such as
audio/visual needs, supplies for each participant, and/or
limitations on the number of participants.
Tutorials are intended to provide an overview of the field and should
therefore present well-established information in a balanced way.
Tutorials should not advocate a single avenue of research or promote a
product.
If the proposed tutorial has been given previously, the proposal
should include information about where the tutorial has been given and
how it will be modified for IUI 2006. If the tutorial has been given
at a previous IUI conference, describe how changes to the tutorial
will address comments from previous attendees. Additional materials
may be submitted, but they will not necessarily be taken into
consideration in the review process.
Tutorial Notes
The presenters will be asked to prepare substantial tutorial notes,
which should include:
- An introduction to the topic
- Copies of all overhead transparencies and slides
- An annotated bibliography
- Copies of relevant background material or scholarly papers (for
which the instructors have obtained any necessary reprint
permission)
- Material for any tutorial exercises
Printing of tutorial notes will be done by the conference organization.
Review Criteria
Tutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their estimated
benefit for prospective participants and on their fit within the
tutorial program as a whole. Factors to be considered include:
- Relevance, timeliness, importance, audience appeal, and attendance
limits
- Suitability for presentation in a half-day or a full-day tutorial
format
- Use of presentation methods that offer participants direct
experience with the material being taught
- Past experience and qualifications of the instructors
Selection will also be based on the overall distribution of topics,
approaches (overview, theory, methodology, how-to), audience
experience levels, and specialties of the intended audiences.
A one page advance summary of each tutorial will appear in the
Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on Intelligent
User Interfaces.
Compensation for presenting a tutorial will include one complimentary
conference registration (assuming a minimum number of 10 participants
at the tutorial who are registered by the time the tutorials begin).
