Call for Proposals

We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. 

The goal of workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference (“Where HCI meets AI”).

Tutorials are designed to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent user interfaces, and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Note: We encourage you to contact the chairs with your ideas (workshops2025@iui.acm.org), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal.

We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshop and tutorial formats and activities, including but not limited to:

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

• Interactive formats to explore a certain topic during the workshop (e.g., through breakout rooms); such workshops may have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the outcome of the interactive discussions.

• "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.

• Tutorials on a specific topic relevant to IUI; for example, methods and approaches in HCI and/or AI, specific techniques or algorithms to develop intelligent user interfaces, etc.

We invite submissions of proposals for full-day and half-day workshops or tutorials. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop and tutorial chairs.

Workshops with few submissions may be cancelled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise restructured. The organizers of accepted workshops and tutorials 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 and tutorial organizers will maintain their own website with information about the workshop or tutorial and the ACM IUI 2025 website will refer to this website. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation, collection, and review process. Workshops’ and tutorials’ summary will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2025, and we will separately publish a joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through CEUR or similar).

Please also list here any material you will make available to tutorial participants, e.g. slides, access to hardware/software, handouts, etc.
