IUI 2012 - 17th International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI2012)

Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) is the premier international conference for bringing together researchers from academia, nonprofit organizations, industry and practitioners of the trade, who are working on Novel Interaction and Intelligent Interfaces, including related empirical studies and technologies. IUI 2012 will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, February 14-17 2012. We invite original long (10 page) and short paper (6 page) submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, and design techniques. Accepted proceedings papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. IUI especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for interface design.

Background on IUI Content: IUI represents a community of people interested in human-computer interaction, intelligent processing and interfaces that leverage artificial intelligence techniques. IUI is interested in multidisciplinary insights from related fields that shed light on the nature of human tool use and the future of interface design, including psychology, education, linguistics/communications, anthropology, interaction design and media arts, computation/engineering, and related areas. IUI researchers are interested in improving the symbiosis between humans and computers, so that interface design and interactive experiences yield higher performance outcomes. This may involve designing interfaces that incorporate intelligent automated capabilities, if the net impact is a human-computer interaction that improves performance in critical ways. It may also involve designing an interface that effectively leverages human skills and capabilities, so that human performance with an application excels. In other cases, such as educational interface design, it may involve exercising judgment in when not to automate a function so that humans are encouraged to exert themselves as they acquire new skills or domain knowledge.
