## ACM IUI 2021
ACM IUI 2021 is the 26th annual premier international forum for reporting
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.
ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields
such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer
graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is on improving the
interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI
approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning,
natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and
reasoning.
### Why you should submit to ACM IUI
While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this
research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly
encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI
and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other,
but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that
contribute methodology or theory for the evaluation of intelligent user
interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect
papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions.
ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas—academia, industry,
government, and non-profit organizations—and gives its participants the
opportunity to
present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive
setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and lively, but
small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy
attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral
paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and a doctoral
consortium for graduate students.
### COVID-19 statement
We are monitoring the situation regarding the global pandemic and
associated travel restrictions. If needed, we will offer a virtual
presentation option if the conference cannot take place due to the global
pandemic, or if registered authors from specific parts of the world cannot
attend the conference.
## Papers
We accept two forms of contributions: full and short papers. They should
both make novel contributions to IUI, however full papers should make more
substantial and significant contributions, while short papers can contain
more focused contributions.
Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation
indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be
invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM
Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS,
http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2021".

Deadline: 20/07/2020
We are looking to hire up to two new PhD researchers in the ARIA team (https://aria.cs.kuleuven.be) at the Department of Computer Science of the KU Leuven, in Belgium. The project focuses on the topic of “Cross-Reality Interaction”, i.e. how people in different immersive realities (e.g., VR, AR) or not immersed at all, can interact together.
For more information, see the description at: https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/55693016?hl=en&lang=en
Knowledge of Dutch is *not* required to apply.
Feel free to contact me to informally discuss this position and other opportunities (such as postdoctoral research through the Marie Curie scheme).

ACM AVI 2020 Workshop - Submission deadline extended to July 15th
** COVID-19 Information **
The current plan is to hold the workshop with participation in person.
EMPATHY: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems
www.empathy-project.eu/workshop/
September 29th, 2020
Island of Ischia, Italy
OVERVIEW
In the last decade, the spreading of low-cost technologies integrating
sensors and actuators has favored the development of the so-called smart
objects. This trend has been further fostered by the Internet of Things
(IoT), which connects the physical world with Internet via ubiquitous
sensors and actuators. The opportunities offered by the IoT are
amplified by the use of new approaches that, based on novel interaction
paradigms, involve directly non-technical users in configuring the joint
behavior of their smart objects, among them and with online services.
Existing solutions to define the behavior of such “IoT ecosystems” range
from systems that leave the users complete control for establishing the
joint behavior of smart objects, to solutions that automatically define
smart objects behavior exploiting intelligent techniques. In this
continuum, different technologies, frameworks, and approaches present
different levels of user control and automation. In this perspective it
is also important to consider the emerging role played by social and
humanoid robots, which are integrated sets of sensors and actuators with
human-like behaviours.
DATES
July 15th: Paper submission deadline
July 20th: Paper acceptance notice
July 24th: Camera-ready submission
September 29th: Half-day workshop (morning)
SUGGESTED TOPICS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
This workshop aims to serve as a venue for discussing ongoing research
and sharing ideas for researchers and practitioners working on solutions
to personalize the behavior of IoT ecosystems. We aim to encourage
participation in order to have stimulating discussion from various
perspectives. Topics include, but are not limited, to:
- End-User Development (EUD) for IoT;
- Interaction Paradigms for IoT;
- Usability of IoT Systems;
- Interface Design for IoT;
- Intelligent Interface for IoT Systems;
- Accessibility for IoT Systems;
- Usable Privacy and Security in IoT systems
- Personalisation and Recommendations for IoT.
PARTICIPATION
We invite submissions of two types: short papers (3-4 pages) and
position papers (1-2 pages). Participants are asked to submit their
paper describing their recent or future work in one of the areas
indicated in the topics of interest. All submissions must be in the
CHI Extended Abstracts format.
Papers should be submitted in PDF to easychair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=empathy2020). All papers will
be reviewed by the organizers and by the program committee based on
relevance and significance in order to provide constuctive comments to
the submitters. Reviewing will be single blind (i.e. author names and
affiliations should be listed). If accepted, at least one of the authors
must register and attend the workshop.

Cari/e tutti/e
Questo messaggio è solo per informarvi che la mailing list hcitaly è stata portata dall' indirizzo
hcitaly(a)cnuce.cnr.it all'indirizzo hcitaly(a)isti.cnr.it
La lista penso nacque nel 1998 ed allora esisteva il CNUCE, che poi è confluito nell'ISTI. Gli
appassionati di storia dell'informatica italiana possono trovare maggiori informazioni a
https://www.isti.cnr.it/about.php
Pare che il dominio cnuce.cnr.it stia per scomparire da Internet e quindi siamo stati costretti a
spostare la lista di indirizzi email (che attualmente sono 458) su un altro server, le modalità di
utilizzo dovrebbero essere sostanzialmente invariate per gli utenti.
Quindi d'ora in poi mandate email all'indirizzo hcitaly(a)isti.cnr.it !
