[UAI] ACM Intelligent User Interfaces - IUI 2019: Call for Papers

[Axel Soto]

*** ACM IUI 2019: Call for Papers ***
Los Angeles, CA, USA
March 17-20, 2019
http://iui.acm.org/2019/

ACM IUI 2019 is the 24rd annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces  
community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting  
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.


ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the  
Artificial Intelligence (AI) community, with contributions from related  
fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer  
graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is to improve the  
interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both HCI approaches  
and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning, natural language  
processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI  
welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas: academia, industry,  
government, and non-profit organizations. Along with 25 other topics in AI  
& HCI, this year we especially encourage submissions on explainable  
intelligent user interfaces for IUI 2019.



** Why you should submit to ACM IUI **

At ACM IUI, we focus on the interaction between machine intelligence and  
human intelligence. While other conferences focus on one side or the  
other, we address the complex interaction between the two. We welcome  
research that explores how to make the interaction between computers and  
people smarter, which may leverage solutions from data mining, knowledge  
representation, novel interaction paradigms, and emerging technologies. We  
strongly encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from  
both HCI and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the  
other.


The conference brings together people from academia, industry, government  
and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to  
present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive  
setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to  
allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the  
events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations,  
poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate  
students.


IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Affective and aesthetic interfaces
- Big data and analytics
- Collaborative interfaces
- Education and learning-related technologies
- Evaluations of intelligent user interfaces
- Explainable intelligent user interfaces
- Explainable artificial intelligence
- Interactive visual analytics and interpretation for deep learning
- Health and intelligent health technologies
- Information retrieval and search
- Intelligent assistants for complex tasks
- Intelligent wearable and mobile interfaces
- Intelligent ubiquitous user interfaces
- Intelligent visualization tools
- Interactive machine learning
- Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation
- Modeling and prediction of user behavior
- Multi-modal interfaces (speech, gestures, eye gaze, face, physiological  
information etc.)

- Natural language and speech processing
- Persuasive and assistive technologies in IUI
- Planning and plan recognition for IUI
- Proactive and agent-based user interaction
- Recommender systems
- Smart environments and tangible computing
- Social media analysis
- User Modelling for Intelligent Interfaces
- User-Adaptive interaction and personalization

** Dates **

Oct 1, 2018: Abstract deadline (compulsory)
Oct 8, 2018: Papers deadline
Dec 7, 2018: Notification   
Dec 21, 2018: Camera ready due
Mar 17, 2019: Conference starts 

** Submission - Full and Short Papers **

We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces,  
applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies,  
or design techniques. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do  
expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated  
contributions.


Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation  
indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be  
invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM  
Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS,  
http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2019".


** Submission Guidelines **

- Full paper (anonymized 10 pages, references do not count toward the page  
limit) should make substantial, novel, and relevant contribution to the  
field.


- Short paper (anonymized 4 pages, references do not count toward the page  
limit) is a much more focused and succinct contribution to the field.  
Short papers are not expected to include a discussion of related work that  
is as broad and complete as that of Full papers.


- Anonymization: ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All  
submissions must be appropriately anonymized according to the 

[UAI] IUI 2019 Student Consortium Call for Papers

[Axel Soto]

IUI 2019 Student Consortium Call for Papers

Overview
The IUI 2019 Student Consortium is intended to provide an opportunity for  
Doctoral and advanced Masters students to present and receive feedback  
about their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance  
of a panel of mentors selected from senior people in the field. We invite  
students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their  
research to use this unique opportunity to share their work with students  
in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. The  
consortium will be organized with 8 to 12 presentations by the students,  
whose applications have been selected by the Student Consortium chairs and  
potentially other reviewers. The strongest candidates will be those who  
have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress, but  
who are not so far along in their research that they can no longer make  
changes. The final version of accepted SC submissions will be included in  
the main conference proceedings published in the ACM DL.


Complimentary/reduced conference registration will be available for  
students. Student Consortium participants will also be given high priority  
when applying for the student travel awards. Moreover, we are working to  
provide partial reimbursement of travel/accommodation expenses  
specifically for the participants of the Student Consortium. More  
information will come soon.


Objectives
The objectives of the student consortium are to:
1- Serve as a supportive setting to provide/receive feedback on students'  
current doctoral and masters' research and guidance on future research  
directions
2- Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from  
researchers and students outside of their own institution
3- Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a  
spirit of collaborative research
4- Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other  
researchers and conference events

[UAI] Last CFP: ACM IUI Workshop on Exploratory Search and Interactive Data Analytics (ESIDA)

[Axel Soto]

Workshop on Exploratory Search and Interactive Data Analytics (ESIDA)

Los Angeles, USA, March 20, 2019

Hosted by ACM IUI 2019, March 17-20, 201

https://sites.google.com/view/esida2019


Important dates

Submission deadline: December 17, 2018 (midnight Hawaii time)

Acceptance notification: January 23, 2019

Final manuscript due: February 6, 2019


Workshop Topic and Description

In recent years, retrieval techniques operating on text or semantic
annotations, have become the industry standard for retrieval from large
data collections, such as documents, images, videos, music, medical data.
This approach works well with sufficient high-quality meta-data or tagging.
However, with the explosive growth of big data collections, it has become
apparent that tagging new data quickly and efficiently is not always
possible. Secondly, even if instantaneous high-quality data tagging were
possible, there would still be many instances, where search by keyword
query is problematic. For example, in the case of image retrieval it might
be easier for a user to define their query if they are looking for an image
of a cat, but how would they specify that the cat should be of a particular
shade of ginger with sad looking eyes? A solution to these problems is
active engagement of the user in the information retrieval loop, thus
enabling the user to not only explore a given dataset more easily but also
gradually direct their search to a more specific area of the search space.


The aim of this workshop is to explore new methods and interface/system
design for interactive data analytics and management in various domains,
including specialised text collections (e.g. legal, medical, scientific),
multimedia, and bioinformatics, as well as for various tasks, such as
semantic information retrieval, conceptual organization and clustering of
data collections for sense-making, semantic expert profiling, and
document/multimedia recommender systems. The primary audience of the
workshop is researchers and practitioners in the area of interactive and
personalized system design as well as interactive machine learning both
from academia and industry. IUI, with its focus on the intersection of
HCI
and AI, is a perfect venue where researchers from system/interface design
community and the machine learning community can meet.


Workshop Target Areas

The workshop aims to solicit submissions in all areas of interactive data
analytics and exploratory search including:

- design, testing and assessment of interactive systems for data analytics

- interactive data visualization for exploratory and investigative analysis

- interactive classification and clustering of data

- user-assisted curation and validation of the analysis process, and
generation of data visualizations

- user engagement in the semantic analysis process via suitable annotation
and correction tools

- study of the trade-off between accuracy of the results and user effort

- personalization and user modeling related to interactive system design


Submissions aimed at solving practical problems in specific application
domains are especially welcome, including:

- digital libraries

- legal document management

- personalized online learning systems

- news media

- biomedical data

- multimedia collections

- specialized image and video collections, e.g. medical images.


We encourage submissions of work in progress, concept papers, case studies,
and generally material that will stimulate discussion, generate useful
feedback to the authors, encourage research collaborations and vigorous
exchange of ideas on promising research directions, in one of the following
formats:

- full papers (up to 8 pages in the ACM SIGCHI format), which will be
presented either as contributed talks or posters

- extended abstracts (up to 4 pages in the ACM SIGCHI format), which will
be presented as posters with a possibility to be accompanied by a demo.

*** ACM IUI 2021: Call for Papers ***
* College Station, TX
* April 13-17, 2021
* http://iui.acm.org/2021/
* Contact: program2...@iui.acm.org

## Upcoming deadlines
Abstract: Oct 2, 2020 (compulsory)
Paper submission: Oct 9, 2020

## ACM IUI 2021
ACM IUI 2021 is the 26th annual premier international forum for reporting  
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.


ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial  
Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields  
such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer  
graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is on improving the  
interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI  
approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning,  
natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and  
reasoning.


### Why you should submit to ACM IUI

While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this  
research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly  
encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI  
and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other,  
but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that  
contribute methodology or theory for the evaluation of intelligent user  
interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect  
papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions.


ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas—academia, industry,  
government, and non-profit organizations—and gives its participants the  
opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and  
interactive setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and  
lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among  
attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers,  
ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels

[UAI] ACM IUI 2021: CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS (deadline extended)

[Axel Soto]

ACM IUI 2021 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS (deadline extended)

In conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Intelligent User  
Interfaces (IUI 2021)

College Station, TX, USA
April 13 - 17, 2021
http://iui.acm.org/

IUI 2021 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 (or related). This year we are particularly interested  
in workshops that have an interactive aspect.


Preference will be given to workshops with interactive and hands-on  
sessions where participants can team up or work together towards the  
common goal of the workshop. 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.
- "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics  
with individual or team participation.

[UAI] Request for Proposals — Bid on ACM IUI 2023

[Axel Soto]

Request for Proposals — Bid on ACM IUI 2023
---

Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) is the premier conference series  
sponsored by ACM (SIGCHI and SIGAI) and has been held annually since 1993  
as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research  
and development on intelligent user interfaces.


To involve the greater IUI community in conference organization and better  
plan for the conference, we request proposals for hosting and organizing  
IUI two years ahead of time. We regularly rotate the conference locations  
to engage with IUI research communities around the globe. Below shows the  
location and time of the three most recently scheduled IUI conferences:


IUI 2020 (cancelled)
Cagliari, Italy
March 17-20

IUI 2021
College Station, Texas
April 13-17

IUI 2022
Helsinki, Finland
March 22-26

Why host IUI?
There are several benefits of hosting and organizing an IUI conference.  
First, conference hosts/organizers have an opportunity to publicize their  
work, build relationships, and interact with the international IUI  
community. Second, this is a great opportunity for the organizers/hosts to  
introduce their students and colleagues to the IUI community and help grow  
the community as a whole. Third, hosts/organizers can use the opportunity  
to build local IUI communities, connecting representatives from both  
academia and industries.


Bid Requirements
All proposals must be written in English with a readable font not smaller  
than 12 point and margins not less than one inch on all sides. The  
proposal should address each aspect outlined below but not exceed 15000  
characters (approx. 5-6 pages). Based on the merits of the proposals and  
factors such as ensuring a diversity of conference locations, the board  
will choose the top candidates and then a finalist will be chosen and  
announced at IUI 2021.


Please note that the bid requirements have been modified from previous  
years. Please read the requirements below carefully before writing up your  
bid.

Hosts/Organizers
The conference hosts/organizers should have knowledge of the IUI  
community, such as having attended and published regularly at IUI, and  
have experience with conference organization. One of the main IUI goals is  
to bring together people from diverse backgrounds.


For that reason, the bid proposal must suggest ONLY the conference general  
chairs. The IUI steering committee will work with the selected bid  
proposers on building the conference organizing team.


We especially encourage that the key conference organizers consist of  
people from both industry and academia, representing both AI and HCI since  
the work presented at IUI is at the intersection of these disciplines.  
Please include short bios of the proposed conference general chair(s).


Location
Since IUI is an international forum, we expect that attendees will travel  
from different parts of the world to the conference location. It is  
important that the proposed location is conveniently located for all  
attendees to reach by available means of transportation.


Time
IUI conferences have been held at various times during late winter through  
early spring, most typically in March though earlier times will be  
considered. Your bid should include a proposed time with key dates (e.g.,  
paper submission and notification). The choice of time should also take  
into account the weather conditions of the proposed location to avoid  
potential weather-caused travel delays and potential conflicts with other  
conferences and their submission deadlines.


Please note that HRI 2023 will take place the week of March 20, 2023, and  
thus this week is not available for IUI 2023 bids.


Virtual Attendance and the Impact of COVID-19
We hope that by the time of the 2023 conference that it will be possible  
to hold a physical conference similar to those held before 2020.  
Organizers should still prepare for decreased attendance and to offer  
virtual participation options for those who may not yet be comfortable  
traveling long distances.


Conference Venue
Please describe the proposed conference venue, including the following  
aspects:


* Capacity. In recent years, IUI has typically had around 250 attendees,  
though IUI 2018 had a record high of over 350 participants and IUI 2019  
had a similar number. No conference has been held since COVID, however  
current ACM recommendations are to anticipate a 30-40% decrease in  
attendance in the near term. IUI has typically taken place over four days,  
the first of which consists of workshops and tutorials hosted in parallel  
separate rooms (10-20 people). To encourage interaction among the  
attendees, during the main conference, it is also desirable to have  
additional space at the venue to put up IUI posters for the attendees to  
visit during coffee breaks.
* Facilities. The venue should provide basic conference facilities,

## Upcoming deadlines
Abstract: Oct 2, 2020 (compulsory)
Paper submission: Oct 9, 2020

## ACM IUI 2021
ACM IUI 2021 is the 26th annual premier international forum for reporting  
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.


ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial  
Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields  
such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer  
graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is on improving the  
interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI  
approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning,  
natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and  
reasoning.


### Why you should submit to ACM IUI

While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this  
research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly  
encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI  
and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other,  
but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that  
contribute methodology or theory for the evaluation of intelligent user  
interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect  
papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions.


ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas—academia, industry,
government, and non-profit organizations—and gives its participants the  
opportunity to
present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive  
setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and lively, but  
small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy  
attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral  
paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and a doctoral  
consortium for graduate students.


### COVID-19 statement

We are monitoring the situation regarding the global pandemic and  
associated travel restrictions. If needed, we will offer a virtual  
presentation option if the conference cannot take place due to the global  
pandemic, or if registered authors from specific parts of the world cannot  
attend the conference.


## Papers
We accept two forms of contributions: full and short papers. They should  
both make novel contributions to IUI, however full papers should make more  
substantial and significant contributions, while short papers can contain  
more focused contributions.


Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation  
indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be  
invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM  
Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS,  
http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2021".

## ACM IUI 2021
ACM IUI 2021 is the 26th annual premier international forum for reporting  
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.


ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial  
Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields  
such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer  
graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is on improving the  
interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI  
approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning,  
natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and  
reasoning.


### Why you should submit to ACM IUI

While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this  
research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly  
encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI  
and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other,  
but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that  
contribute methodology or theory for the evaluation of intelligent user  
interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect  
papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions.


ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas—academia, industry,
government, and non-profit organizations—and gives its participants the  
opportunity to
present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive  
setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and lively, but  
small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy  
attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral  
paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and a doctoral  
consortium for graduate students.


### COVID-19 statement

We are monitoring the situation regarding the global pandemic and  
associated travel restrictions. If needed, we will offer a virtual  
presentation option if the conference cannot take place due to the global  
pandemic, or if registered authors from specific parts of the world cannot  
attend the conference.


## Papers
We accept two forms of contributions: full and short papers. They should  
both make novel contributions to IUI, however full papers should make more  
substantial and significant contributions, while short papers can contain  
more focused contributions.


Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation  
indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be  
invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM  
Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS,  
http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2021".

needs and preferences into both analytics and visualization. Our aim is to  
bring together researchers and practitioners working on different  
personalization aspects and applications of exploratory search and  
interactive data analytics. This will allow us to achieve four goals: (1)  
propose new strategies for systems that need to convey the rationale  
behind their decisions or inference, and the sequence of steps that lead  
to specific (search) results; (2) develop new user modeling and  
personalization techniques for exploratory search and interactive data  
analytics; (3) develop a common set of design principles for this type of  
systems across platforms, contexts, users and applications; (4) develop a  
set of evaluation metrics for personalization in exploratory search. The  
workshop aims to solicit submissions in the following areas of  
personalized interactive data analytics and exploratory search:


Personalized interactive exploration via interactive data analytics:
– personalization aspects in systems for exploratory search.
– cross-domain/ context-aware/ cross-platform exploratory search systems.
– interactively modelling the user’s information needs for high-recall  
information retrieval.

– new applications of exploratory search and interactive data analytics.
Data analytics:
– interactive interfaces for data-intensive platforms.
– interaction degrees of freedom.
– preprocessing vs. online processing.
– interactive data visualization evaluation of interactive systems for  
exploratory search and data analytics.

Metrics for explainable intelligent systems:

[UAI] Request for Proposals — Bid on ACM IUI 2023 (deadline extended)

[Axel Soto]

Request for Proposals — Bid on ACM IUI 2023 (deadline extended)
---

Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) is the premier conference series  
sponsored by ACM (SIGCHI and SIGAI) and has been held annually since 1993  
as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research  
and development on intelligent user interfaces.


To involve the greater IUI community in conference organization and better  
plan for the conference, we request proposals for hosting and organizing  
IUI two years ahead of time. We regularly rotate the conference locations  
to engage with IUI research communities around the globe. Below shows the  
location and time of the three most recently scheduled IUI conferences:


IUI 2020
Cagliari, Italy
March 17-20

IUI 2021
College Station, Texas
April 13-17

IUI 2022
Helsinki, Finland
March 22-26

Why host IUI?
There are several benefits of hosting and organizing an IUI conference.  
First, conference hosts/organizers have an opportunity to publicize their  
work, build relationships, and interact with the international IUI  
community. Second, this is a great opportunity for the organizers/hosts to  
introduce their students and colleagues to the IUI community and help grow  
the community as a whole. Third, hosts/organizers can use the opportunity  
to build local IUI communities, connecting representatives from both  
academia and industries.


Bid Requirements
All proposals must be written in English with a readable font not smaller  
than 12 point and margins not less than one inch on all sides. The  
proposal should address each aspect outlined below but not exceed 15000  
characters (approx. 5-6 pages). Based on the merits of the proposals and  
factors such as ensuring a diversity of conference locations, the board  
will choose the top candidates and then a finalist will be chosen and  
announced at IUI 2021.


Please note that the bid requirements have been modified from previous  
years. Please read the requirements below carefully before writing up your  
bid.

Hosts/Organizers
The conference hosts/organizers should have knowledge of the IUI  
community, such as having attended and published regularly at IUI, and  
have experience with conference organization. One of the main IUI goals is  
to bring together people from diverse backgrounds.


For that reason, the bid proposal must suggest ONLY the conference general  
chairs. The IUI steering committee will work with the selected bid  
proposers on building the conference organizing team.


We especially encourage that the key conference organizers consist of  
people from both industry and academia, representing both AI and HCI since  
the work presented at IUI is at the intersection of these disciplines.  
Please include short bios of the proposed conference general chair(s).


Location
Since IUI is an international forum, we expect that attendees will travel  
from different parts of the world to the conference location. It is  
important that the proposed location is conveniently located for all  
attendees to reach by available means of transportation.


Time
IUI conferences have been held at various times during late winter through  
early spring, most typically in March though earlier times will be  
considered. Your bid should include a proposed time with key dates (e.g.,  
paper submission and notification). The choice of time should also take  
into account the weather conditions of the proposed location to avoid  
potential weather-caused travel delays and potential conflicts with other  
conferences and their submission deadlines.


Virtual Attendance and the Impact of COVID-19
We hope that by the time of the 2023 conference that it will be possible  
to hold a physical conference similar to those held before 2020.  
Organizers should still prepare for decreased attendance and to offer  
virtual participation options for those who may not yet be comfortable  
traveling long distances.


Conference Venue
Please describe the proposed conference venue, including the following  
aspects:


* Capacity. In recent years, IUI has typically had around 250 attendees,  
though IUI 2018 had a record high of over 350 participants and IUI 2019  
had a similar number. No conference has been held since COVID, however  
current ACM recommendations are to anticipate a 30-40% decrease in  
attendance in the near term. IUI has typically taken place over four days,  
the first of which consists of workshops and tutorials hosted in parallel  
separate rooms (10-20 people). To encourage interaction among the  
attendees, during the main conference, it is also desirable to have  
additional space at the venue to put up IUI posters for the attendees to  
visit during coffee breaks.
* Facilities. The venue should provide basic conference facilities, such  
as high speed internet access that can support the participants in  
parallel effectively and LCD projectors.
*
