=================================================================================


IUI'2014 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops 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. Workshops will be held on the first
day of the coånference. We invite submissions of full-day (6 hours) and half-day
(3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the conference topics. We encourage
proposals for a wide range of workshops, including but not limited to:

- Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; such workshops may
wish to ask participants to submit a white paper or position statement.
- Mini-conferences on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper
submission and review processes.
- Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual or team participation.

=============== PROPOSAL FORMAT ===============

Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the formatting
instructions from SIGCHI. (http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/format/) submitted by
e-mail to the workshop co-chairs at:

workshops_tutorialschair2014 at iuiconf.org<mailto:workshops_tutorialschair2014 at iuiconf.org>

The proposals should be organized as follows:

- Name and title: A one-word workshop name and a full title.

relevance of the suggested topic and its interest to the intelligent user
interface community and the IUI 2014 audience. Include a brief discussion of why
and for which audience the workshop is of particular interest.

- Organizers: Names and full addresses (including email and web address) of the
workshop organizer(s). This can be a single person or a group of persons. Please

topic and who are actively connected to the communities of potential
participants. - Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members
of the workshop program committee in charge of evaluating the workshop
submissions.

Additional guidelines:
-------------------------------

- Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chair and
the IUI 2014 conference and program committees.

- Publication: An extended abstract of the workshop will be included in the ACM
Digital Library for IUI 2014. Workshop proposals and workshop papers will not be
published in the ACM Digital Library. A single PDF including all workshop papers
and notes will be published on the IUI 2014 web site.

- Cancellation: Workshops with fewer than 10 paper submissions by December 23,
2013 may be cancelled.

- Submission: https://precisionconference.com/~sigchi, using the template from:
http://chi2012.acm.org/cfp-formatting-instructions.shtml#extendedformat


Additionally, we strongly suggest to have organizers from different
institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome
workshops with a creative structure that attracts various types of contributions
and ensures rich interactions.

The organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for producing a call for
participation and additional publicity such as distributing the call to relevant
newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences
from outside the IUI conference community. Organizers must maintain their own
web site with updated information about the workshop. The workshop organizers
coordinate the paper collection, production, and distribution of the working
notes for the workshops. This should be result in a single PDF with the workshop
material to allow inclusion in the IUI 2014 web site. The organisers should also
produce an extended abstract which is a description of the workshop intended for
publication in the IUI 2014 proceedings and may not exceed four pages. It must
contain a summary of the workshop goals and an overview of the workshop topics.
It must follow the formatting instructions from SIGCHI.
