Paper Submission Deadline: September 25, 2009

************************************************************
We are very pleased to invite you once again to participate in 2010
ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces.  IUI 2010
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.  IUI is where
the community of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community.  We are also very
interested in contributions from related fields, such as psychology,
cognitive science, computer graphics, and the arts.

IMPORTANT DATES

Long & Short Paper submissions:          Friday, 25 September 2009, 11:59pm US PDT
Long paper review notification:          Monday,  2 November  2009 Rebuttal process starts
Long paper rebuttals due:                Monday,  9 November  2009 Rebuttal process ends
Long and Short Paper final notification: Friday, 23 November  2009
Long & Short Paper camera-ready due:     Friday, 11 December  2009

Why submit to IUI?

Unlike traditional AI, our focus is not so much to make the computer
smart all by itself, but to make the interaction between computers and
people smarter. Unlike traditional HCI, we are more willing to
consider solutions that involve large amounts of knowledge,
heuristics, and emerging technologies such as natural language
understanding or gesture recognition.

The IUI conference gives you a chance to present and to see work in an
intimate, focused, no-nonsense event. It is large enough to be diverse
and lively (we expect around 200 people), but small enough to avoid
the circus-like atmosphere of conferences with thousands of people.

The vast majority of the attendees are actively involved with
conceiving and developing cutting-edge interfaces leading to a high
and fast impact of research results presented at IUI. It brings
together people from academics, industry, and nonprofits. As an ACM
conference, papers appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation
indices. There will also be a journal publication path for selected
papers. 

It is a single track conference, so you do not have to miss
anything. And it is always hosted at a beautiful location!
