UIST (ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology) is the
premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of
human-computer interfaces. Sponsored by ACM's special interest groups on
computer-human interaction (SIGCHI) and computer graphics (SIGGRAPH),
UIST brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas
that include traditional graphical & web user interfaces, tangible &
ubiquitous computing, virtual & augmented reality, multimedia, new input
& output devices, and CSCW. The intimate size and comfortable
surroundings make this symposium an ideal opportunity to exchange
research results and implementation experiences.
This year, UIST will be held at the Waikiki Marriott Spa and Resort on
Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii from Oct. 5-8, 2014.
*Appropriate topics* include but are not limited to:
* significantly novel enabling technologies such as innovative input
devices, displays, new interaction techniques, or new media that
extend the boundaries of traditional interaction, including:
o natural user interfaces and interactions,
o augmented reality,
o mobile interaction,
o haptics and tactile feedback interfaces,
o ubiquitous computing,
o wearables,
o social software,
o computer-supported collaborative work (CSCW)
* innovative user interfaces for difficult interaction contexts or
challenging applications:
o managing large, complex information sets,
o usable privacy and security,
o multi-user interaction,
o crowdsourcing,
o fabrication,
o techniques that span devices distributed in time and space
* breakthrough user experiences leveraging techniques such as machine
learning, computer vision, computer graphics, speech processing,
networking, human perception and cognition
* innovative software architectures, design tools, toolkits,
programming systems, development environments, tutorial and help
systems that support the development and use of the above
technologies in user interfaces
General Information
We recommend that prospective authors consult the UIST 2014 CfP
<http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2014/cfp.php> and UIST 2014 Author's Guide
<http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2014/authorsguide.php> for more detailed
instructions.
We only accept electronic submissions. To submit, see the UIST
Electronic Submission site (http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi
<http://www.precisionconference.com/%7Esigchi>).
Posters (Deadline: July 2, 2014)
Posters provide an interactive forum in which authors can present work
to conference attendees during special poster sessions. Posters provide
an opportunity to describe new work or work that is still in progress,
and will be more lightly reviewed than papers.
All poster submissions must include a two-page poster abstract and a
full size poster design, both in PDF format. Unlike paper submissions,
poster submissions are not anonymous. The two-page abstract describes
the research problem, contribution, and value to UIST attendees. The
abstract must be formatted like a two-page technical paper using the
SIGCHI Papers Word or Latex Template
<http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform>. The poster design
should be 24 inches by 36 inches (either portrait or landscape). The
UIST 2005 Poster Example Gallery
<http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2005/posterexamplegallery.html> has ideas
and guidelines for great poster designs. Authors are also encouraged to
submit an optional short video, less than 50MB in size and no more than
three minutes long.
The poster abstract, poster design, and optional video must be submitted
electronically to Precision Conference
<http://www.precisionconference.com/%7Esigchi> before the due date
below. The total size for all files in the submission must be less than
100MB. See the video guide
<http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2014/videosguide.php>, theauthor guide
<http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2014/authorsguide.php>, andgeneral
submission information
<http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2014/cfp.php#general> for more details
about preparing your submission.
All accepted posters will be displayed during a portion of the
conference, and at least one author is requested to stand by their
poster during poster sessions and give interactive presentations to
conference attendees. Accepted poster abstracts will be published
together with demonstration and doctoral symposium abstracts in digital
form and distributed to conference attendees. Posters and videos may
also be published at the authors' discretion.
Please do not submit the same work to both the demo and poster tracks.
Double submissions will only be considered as a demo submission and will
be automatically rejected from the poster track.
*Relevant dates:*
* *July 2:*Submissions due by *17:00 PDT*.
* *August 6:*Notification of acceptance decisions.
* *August 16:*Camera ready versions due.
*Posters Chairs:* (posters at uist.org <mailto:posters at uist.org>) Géry
Casiez, University of Lille & Inria, France; Daniel Vogel, University of
Waterloo, Canada
Demonstrations (Deadline: July 2, 2014)
Peer-reviewed demonstrations show early implementations of novel,
interesting, and important interaction concepts or user interface
systems. They can also serve to showcase commercial products not
previously described in the research literature. Demonstrations should
be brief, so that they can be shown repeatedly. We particularly
encourage demos with which attendees can interact.
Accepted demonstration abstracts will be published together with posters
and doctoral symposium abstracts and made available digitally to
conference attendees. UIST will showcase accepted demos at the evening
demo reception. We will also invite authors of accepted papers to
present their work at the demo reception.
A demo submission should follow the official SIGCHI conference
publication paper format
<http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform>, and should be no more
than two pages in length. Note that demo submission, unlike paper
submission, is not anonymous.
*Note: *the demo submission includes a (mock-up) photo of the
demonstration showing the envisioned setup (demo hardware components,
tables, chairs, lights and other equipment), as well as the
demonstrators alongside conference attendees interacting with the demo.
Please label and annotate all parts of the image(s) so that reviewers
and organizers get a good understanding of your setup. Conference
organizers will also better be able to consider your requirements when
organizing the demonstration space at the conference. Submitting an
accompanying video is optional, but highly encouraged. Any submitted
video should be no longer than three minutes and at most 50MB in size.
*Demos are non-archival:* UIST demos are non-archival and UIST allows
resubmission of demos previously shown at other venues. Authors should
state previous demo venues in the appropriate box in the upload form and
point out differences to previous demos.
See the video guide <http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2014/videosguide.php>
and the general submission information
<http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2014/cfp.php#general> for more details
about preparing your submission.
Both the demo abstract and the optional digital video should be
submitted electronically to Precision Conference
<http://www.precisionconference.com/%7Esigchi>.
*Relevant dates:*
* *July 2:*Submissions due by *17:00 PDT*.
* *August 6:*Notification of acceptance decisions.
* *August 16:*Camera ready versions due.

College London, UK
Doctoral Symposium (Deadline: July 2, 2014)
The UIST Doctoral Symposium is a forum in which Ph.D. students can meet
and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced UIST
researchers in an informal and interactive setting. We welcome
applications from current Ph.D. students studying within the full range
of disciplines and approaches that contribute to the UIST community. We
will give preference to applicants beyond the proposal stage and well
into their dissertation research.
Each applicant should provide a short written paper (no more than four
pages in the official SIGCHI conference publication format
<http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform>, as described in the
authors' guide <http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2014/authorsguide.php>).
Note that doctoral symposium submission, unlike paper submission, is
/not/ anonymous. This paper should describe ongoing work and might
summarize the student's full dissertation work, or highlight a
particular part in depth.
The Doctoral Symposium committee will select approximately eight
students to participate. Each student will be expected to give a short
presentation of their work, which will be followed by extensive
discussion with the panel and the other student participants. The
symposium will be held on October 5th. In addition, each student is
encouraged to present a poster describing his or her work to the full
conference; posters will be on display during conference on October 7th.
Participants will be selected based on their anticipated contributions
to the breadth and depth of the intellectual discussions of the symposium.
The symposium will start with an informal dinner on October 4th,
continue all the following day, and conclude with poster presentations.
Doctoral Symposium abstracts will be published together with poster and
demonstration abstracts and made available digitally to conference
attendees. Posters may also be published at the participant's discretion.
To help with attendance, each Doctoral Symposium student participant
will be given:
a)A free registration to the UIST conference.
b)A hotel assistance to cover lodging at the conference hotel during the
conference.
c)A travel stipend (exact amount TBD).
Doctoral Symposium papers and poster sketches should be submitted
electronically to Precision Conference
<http://www.precisionconference.com/%7Esigchi>.
