******************************************************

  User Interface Software and Technology
                        (UIST 2012)

     October 7-10, 2012. Cambridge, MA

       Doctoral Symposium: June 29, 2012
Co-sponsored by ACM SIGCHI, SIGGRAPH
******************************************************

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 UIST abstract format (doc, pdf), as described in the authors' guide). 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. 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 breaks and at the demo reception on October 8th.

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 Saturday evening, October 6th, continue all day Sunday, October 7th, and conclude with poster presentations at the UIST demo reception. 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. A travel stipend and free registration to the UIST conference will be provided to each participant.

Doctoral Symposium papers and poster sketches should be submitted electronically toPrecision Conference.
Authors will be notified of doctoral symposium results on or before Monday, July 27, 2012.

Relevant dates:

June 29, 2012: Submissions due by 17:00 PDT.

July 27, 2012: Notification of acceptance decisions.

August 20, 2012: Camera ready versions due.
