2nd INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON
USER INTERFACES TO DATA INTENSIVE SYSTEMS (UIDIS 2001),
ETH Zurich, 31 May - 1 June, 2001
http://www.uidis01.ethz.ch
=========================================================================
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submission of papers: 30 November 2000
Notification of acceptance/rejection: 15 February 2001
Submission of camera ready copies: 15 March 2001
=========================================================================
User interfaces to databases and other information management systems are
typically investigated only after research in the underlying technologies
is well under way. This seems contradictory in an age where information is
distributed on a global scale, creating environments where effective
user interfaces to data intensive systems is a necessity.
T H E M E
UIDIS 2001 continues the tradition of previous workshops in Interfaces
to Database Systems (IDS 1992, IDS 1994, IDS 1996) and the UIDIS 1999, and
seeks to bring together researchers in information management systems,
human-computer interaction and knowledge based methodologies. It provides
a platform for the presentation of current results and encourages the exchange of
ideas on how user interfaces to data intensive systems should be improved
from a conceptual as well as from a practical viewpoint.
UIDIS 2001 will provide a forum to present original research contributions
in an informal atmosphere allowing sufficient time for discussions and
debate as well as presentations and demonstrations. We encourage submissions
of technically high-quality papers covering one or more of the
following topics:
INFORMATION RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUES, in particular
query and query results interfaces
natural language interfaces
intelligent user interfaces
multimedia interfaces
interface architectures
semantic hyper-media
INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS DESIGN, in particular
user-interface development systems
interface architectures
data mining tools
model-based interfaces
INFORMATION VISUALIZATION, in particular
virtual reality
visual information management
visual languages
visualization of search results
Visualization on the World Wide Web
Papers are also invited that report on actual applications in
the domain sciences, e.g. in medicine, the natural sciences, the
geo-sciences, etc., and describe the experiences made with data-intensive
systems in these fields.
V E N U E
The two days workshop will be hosted by the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology (ETH-Zurich), which provides the computing and communications
infrastructure for advanced demonstrations and/or presentations. Zurich
is the business capital of Switzerland and can be reached conveniently
by train, plane or car. The city is the central point to many excursions
as well as to many sports facilities in the Swiss Alps.
S U B M I S S I O N G U I D E L I N E S
Papers should not exceed 5000 words in length, double-spaced and
printed with a font size of at least 10pts. Demonstration proposals
should be marked as such and should be submitted as short papers of
up to 2000 words. The proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press,
will contain all accepted and presented papers and the short reports
describing the demonstrations.
