** Fourth Call for Workshop Proposals ***

22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces
IUI 2017

St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus

March 13-16, 2017

http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=ZG1hbmV0CQkJZG1hbmV0QHpwci51bmkta29lbG4uZGUJMjJuZCBBQ00gSW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbCBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMTcpOiBGb3VydGggQ2FsbCBmb3IgV29ya3Nob3AgUHJvcG9zYWxzCTU1CUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fiui.acm.org%2F2017


Overview

ACM IUI 2017 is the 22nd annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces
community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus.
Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two
ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian
Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and
contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval
Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two
Marinas, world renowned 5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping,
nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond
the expectations of a Mediterranean island.

ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets
the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as
psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design
or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and
machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as
solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine
learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge
representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any
relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations.

IUI 2017 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a
venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal
forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Workshops will be held
on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions of full-day (6 hours)
and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the conference topics.

We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshops, including but not
limited to:

· "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their
own paper submission and review processes.

· "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter
review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).

· "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to
ask participants to submit a position statement.

· "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an
existing large scale (e.g. EU funded) project.

· "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hack-a-thons around selected topics
with individual or team participation.


Proposal Format

Note: The key to a successful workshop submission is to CONTACT THE
CHAIRS WITH YOUR IDEAS (workshop2017@iui.acm.org), and work together
to prepare an exciting proposal!

Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the

and take part in their workshop. This can make the workshops more
appealing for the participants and strengthen the discussion part.

· Workshop summary: An extended abstract (max. 3 pages) with a summary
of the workshop goals and an overview of the workshop topics will be
included in the ACM Digital Library for IUI 2017.

· Workshop proceedings: At the convenience of the workshop organizers, we
will arrange a joint volume of online proceedings for the workshop papers.
Workshops should request the authors to submit papers in the ACM SIGCHI
Paper Format.

· Cancellation: Workshops with fewer than 10 submissions by December 23,
2016 may be cancelled. This will be done in consultation between the
workshop chairs of IUI 2017 and the workshop organizers.

Additionally, we strongly encourage to have workshop organizers from
different institutions and research communities, bringing different
perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative
structure that attracts various types of contributions and ensures rich
interactions.

The organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for producing a call
for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant
newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences
from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop organizers will
maintain their own web site with updated information about the workshop
and the IUI 2017 web site will refer to the workshop site. The workshop
organizers will coordinate the paper sollicitation, collection, and review
process, and coordinate the production of the joint online proceedings with
IUI 2017 workshop chairs.

CALL FOR PAPERS

OR Spectrum

Special Issue on Rail Terminal Operations

Special Issue Editors: Nils Boysen, Dirk Briskorn, Sigrid Knust

New submission deadline: 31st October 2016 / Special Issue Completion:
End of 2017

Strengthening the railway system is among the top priority issues of
many national authorities. Rail transportation relieves the often
overloaded road networks and is preferred on the basis of its reduced
environmental impact. An important driver to increase the attractiveness
of the railway system is to establish more efficient train handling
processes in existing railway terminals, e.g., by employing suitable
optimization approaches and decision support systems.

The special issue on "rail terminal operations" covers all kinds of
freight and passenger rail terminals, i.e., traditional shunting yards,
intermodal rail-road terminals, modern rail-rail transshipment yards,
rail terminals in seaports, depots for rolling stock, and (last but not
least) conventional railway stations for passenger trains. We invite
researchers and practitioners to contribute to this special issue by
submitting papers on the development and application of quantitative
approaches for planning the operations in rail terminals. While the main
focus is on operational scheduling problems, also papers on long-term
problems such as layout issues are welcome, if rigorously tackled with
quantitative approaches.

The topics of special interest include, but are not limited to the
following:
- train assembly in shunting yards
- load planning of freight trains
- gantry crane scheduling
- scheduling container delivery processes with trucks
- planning of intermediate container storage
- overnight storage of railcars in depots
- assignment of passenger trains to platforms

All papers submitted to this special issue should report original work
and will be peer reviewed according to the standard of OR Spectrum.
According to the politics of OR Spectrum, high quality OR papers are
wanted that are relevant to the scope of the journal, rigor in applying
state-of-the-art OR techniques, innovative, and promising to have an
impact on future work of the scientific OR community.
