*** DEADLINE: 16th September 2017 ***


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

Additional Guidelines

· Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chairs
and the IUI 2017 program committee chairs.

· Organizers: We strongly encourage the workshop organizers to attend IUI
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.

Digitalization: Start Your Academic Career in Berlin

Berlin is seeking the top minds in the field of digitalization and over
the next few months is putting out the call for 50 new professorships.
This marks the launch of a 38 million euro project for the German
capital, the goal of which is to connect several institutions including
Technische Universität Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin,
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Universität der Künste Berlin and
Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin with eight renowned research
institutes and two universities of applied sciences into the Einstein
Center Digital Future. The first step – an international recruitment
campaign for 18 professorships – is now underway. Additional
professorships for Berlin will be advertised in the coming months.

The professorships are being funded in part through private financing
from donations to the Einstein Foundation and the State of Berlin as
well as joint appointments with long-standing research partners. Please
note that the positions are conditional upon financing from the donors
and partners. It is intended to extend a number of the temporary
professorships past the end of the funding period.

high quality forum for recent developments, trends and advances in the
theory, practice and application of mathematical models and optimization
methodologies in the field of Transportation with a special focus on
Routing. This year's ROUTE was held in Rambouillet , France from June 1
to 4 2016 and brought together around 30 academics, researchers, and
practitioners from more than 10 countries.

In connection with the activities of ROUTE 2016, this special issue on
"Vehicle Routing" invites both theoretical and methodological
contributions towards the design and development of innovative solution
approaches (exact, heuristic, and matheuristic approaches) to address
challenging logistic problems with a particular focus, but not
exclusively, on vehicle routing problems (new models and problem
formulations).

Submissions are open to all, not only to ROUTE 2016 participants.

All contributions will be peer reviewed according to the usual standards
of the journal. Please submit your manuscript at wolfler@lipn.fr.
