We are very pleased to announce the ACM International Conference on
Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI11) Palo Alto, California, USA, February
13-16 2011.

Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) is the premier conference for
reporting on the study of user interfaces with intelligent devices. This
topic is of increasing importance as the consumer is interfacing with a
wide variety of devices with embedded computation and connectivity and
the computer is fading into the background. IUI is where the community
of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the
Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We're also very interested in
contributions from related fields, such as psychology, cognitive
science, computer graphics, the arts, etc.

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're more willing to consider
solutions that involve large amounts of knowledge and emerging
technologies such as natural language understanding, brain computer
interfaces 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
impersonal 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's a single track conference, so you don't have to
miss anything.

IUI topics include, but are not limited to:

Intelligent Interaction with Devices
Intelligent interactions with handheld devices
Sensor- and actuator systems for user interfaces
