IUI2009 - Call for workshop proposals


(http://www.iuiconf.org/cfw.html)


Background and Motivation
IUI 2009 is the annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community  
and serves as the principal international forum for reporting  
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.
Workshops provide members of a community a forum to discuss common  
interests in a focused way.
If you are working in an emerging area in Intelligent User Interfaces,  
consider organizing a workshop.
They are a chance to meet mind-alike researchers and discover what  
others are doing.
A workshop offers a good opportunity for young researchers to present  
their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community.
Successful workshops may result in edited books or special issues in  
international journals.
IUI09 is looking for exciting proposals for half-day or full-day  
workshops to be held on February 8th, 2009, the first day of the  
conference.
Each workshop should generate discussions that give the IUI community  
a new, organized way of thinking about the topic, or ideas that  
suggest promising directions for future research.
A successful workshop can move the field forward and help in building  
community.
Researchers and practitioners in the intelligent user interfaces  
community at large are invited to submit proposals for review.


Submission Requirements
Each workshop should have one or more organizers and an international  
program committee.
Proposals for workshops should be a maximum of 1000 words, and should  
contain the following information to judge the importance, quality,  
and benefits for the research community:
A cover page including:
* Workshop title
* Name, affiliation, full postal address, homepage and e-mail address  
for each organizer
* Identification of the primary contact person(s)
* One-paragraph biography for each workshop organizer
Motivation and Objectives: A brief description of the workshop topic  
and goals, its relevance to IUI09 and significance for the research  
field.
* Motivation: What is the overall topic of the workshop? Why is this  
topic of particular interest at this time? If the workshop has been  
organized in the past at an IUI or other conference,
please give details (audience, URL) and describe why it should be held  
again and how improvements will be made.
* Objectives: What are the objectives that the workshop aims to  
achieve? Objectives may include
(a) targeting a predefined set of focus questions,
(b) presenting alternate views on a particular issue that is of  
concern to the IUI community and attempting to resolve the issue,
(c) identifying priorities for new directions of research, and/or
(d) initiating the appropriate collaborations.
Potential Participants and Workshop Attraction:
A brief discussion of why and to whom the workshop is of interest.
(Target audience, areas from which the participants are expected to  
come, strategy for publicizing the workshop, number of expected  
participants, names of potential attendees).
* Potential Participants: Indicate how you plan to select participants  
and contributions to the workshop.
State your estimate of the number of participants. If possible, give a  
list of tentatively confirmed participants.
* Workshop Attraction:
Indicate how you plan to attract submissions and/or participants.
If you have a plan to edit a book or a journal special issue as a  
result of your workshop, please indicate it.
* Format:
Give a description of the proposed workshop format, including the  
planned activities (such as position statements, invited talks,  
panels, demos, and general discussion),
as well as how these activities address the workshop objectives.
Preference will be given to proposals for activities designed to fuel  
discussion and interaction among participants; workshops consisting  
solely of paper presentations are discouraged.
Provide a preliminary schedule with estimated times. Design your  
schedule for a length of 3 hours (half-day workshop) or 6 hours (full- 
day workshop) with a lunch break and one or two coffee breaks,  
respectively.
Organization: Give short descriptions of each of the organizers'  
qualifications related to the workshop topics. Give names and contact  
information of PC members, if available.
The list of PC/Organisers should preferably include people from at  
least three different sites.
Potential workshop organizers are encouraged to send their draft  
proposals to potential participants for comments before submission.
