CALL FOR ACM IUI 2015 STUDENT CONSORTIUM
20th International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI ’15)
Atlanta, USA
March 29 - April 1, 2015

Deadline: January 16, 2015
Notification: January 30, 2015

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

The IUI 2015 Student Consortium provides an opportunity for Masters and
Doctoral students to present and receive feedback about their research in
an interdisciplinary workshop under the guidance of a panel of mentors
selected from senior people in the field. We invite students who feel they
would benefit from this kind of feedback to apply for this unique
opportunity. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic
and research approach, and have made some progress, but who are not so far
along in their research that they can no longer make changes.

Travel Support: Student Consortium participants will be given high priority
when applying for IUI student travel awards. For more information about
these awards, visit:

affiliation, web page, expected graduation date and target degree, the name
of your thesis advisor, gender (optional), home country (optional), and
whether you are a member of an underrepresented minority group (optional).
2) A document describing your thesis/dissertation research plan and your
progress thus far. This document should be in standard ACM Extended
Abstract format (http://chi2015.acm.org/authors/format/#extendedformat) and
