========================================
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

In conjunction with the 23rd International Conference on Intelligent
User Interfaces (IUI2018)
Tokyo, Japan
March 7-11, 2018
http://iui.acm.org/

=======================================================
IUI 2018 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 last 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).

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. NSF, EU, etc. funded) project.
- "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected
topics with individual or team participation.

=============== PROPOSAL FORMAT ===============
Note: One of the keys to a successful workshop submission is to
CONTACT THE CHAIRS WITH YOUR IDEAS (workshops2018 ＠ iui.acm.org), and
work together to prepare an exciting proposal!

Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the
formatting instructions from SIGCHI Paper Format,
http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform. Please submit your
proposal by e-mail to the workshop chairs at
workshops2018 ＠ iui.acm.org.

The proposals should be organized as follows:

- Name and title: A one-word workshop acronym and a full title.
- Description of workshop topic and goal: This description should
discuss the relevance of the suggested topic to IUI and its interest
for the IUI2018 audience. Include a brief discussion of why and for
which audience the workshop is of particular interest.
- Organizers: Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the
workshop organizers. This can be a single person or a group of people.
Strong proposals normally include organizers who bring differing
perspectives on the topic and are actively connected to the
communities of potential participants. Please indicate the primary
contact person and the organizers who plan to attend the workshop.
- Previous history: List of previous workshops that were held on the
topic including the conferences that hosted past workshops and the
number of participants. Also please provide the list of other
workshops organized by workshop organizers in the past.
- Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members of
the (tentative) workshop program committee that will evaluate the
workshop submissions.
- Participants: A statement saying how many participants you expect
and how you plan to invite participants for the workshop. We recommend
the proposal to include the names of at least 10 people who have
expressed interest to participate in, or contribute a paper to, the
workshop.
- Workshop format: A brief description of the workshop format
regarding the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited
talks, panels, demonstrations, and general discussion.
- Length: Full-day or half-day.
- Proposal format: Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long
and follow the formatting instructions from SIGCHI:
http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform.

Additional guidelines:
----------------------

- Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chairs.
- Organizers: We strongly encourage all of 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 with a summary of the
workshop goals and an overview of the workshop topics will be included
in the ACM Digital Library for IUI 2018.
- 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 few submissions by December 17, 2017
may be cancelled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise
restructured. This will be done in consultation between the IUI 2018
workshop chairs 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 website with
updated information about the workshop and the IUI 2018 web site will
refer to the workshop site. The workshop organizers will coordinate
the paper solicitation, collection, and review process, and coordinate
the production of the joint online proceedings with IUI 2018 workshop
chairs.
