*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
Workshop on Multi-user and Ubiquitous User Interfaces (MU3I)
http://www.mu3i.org
held at the
8th ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI
2004)
in conjunction with CADUI 2004:
5th International Conference on Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces
January 13-16, 2004
Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal
DEADLINE FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS: October 15, 2003

SCOPE
The vision of Ubiquitous Computing bears the promise of permanent
access to information and computing resources through user interfaces
(UIs) accessible to every human in many different situations and
contexts. Current research in intelligent and instrumented
environments shows that these UIs present quite a number of
challenges, such as
- new 'devices' such as tags or everywhere displays
- new UI paradigms, such as tangible, physical and hybrid UIs
- new UI metaphors for bridging the physical and virtual world
- larger and 3-dimensional space of interaction
- spatial and temporal mappings between real and virtual world
- dynamic set of devices (i.e. people moving in and out)
- dynamic adaptation among several dimensions: devices, users, services
- restrictions of technical resources in the environment
- restrictions of cognitive resources of users
- presentation planning for single users vs. groups
Another direct consequence of ubiquitous user interfaces is the fact
that they are used by more than one user at a time, more specifically,
this implies
- sharing of resources and control
- synchronous and asynchronous collocated collaboration
- conflict resolution such as control over parts of the environment
- supporting and monitoring social protocols for group interaction
- the need for UI metaphors for multiple simultaneous users
- public vs. private services and devices
- large UIs and specialized settings e.g. industrial control centers

FORMAT AND SUBMISSION
The workshop will be held as as full day event, and will provide both
time for presenting ongoing research and for the formation of
break-out groups discussing relevant issues concerning one of the
topics covered by the workshop.
We invite papers of about five pages length that report on original
research covering one or more of the above named challenges. Papers
should be formatted according to CHI format (see
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigchi/chipubform for details, latex style
files can be found at http://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/latex/), and
should be sent by email to bu...@cs.uni-sb.de or kr...@comp.lancs.ac.uk
no later than October 15, 2003. Submission should include the name
and address of the primary contact and the paper as a PDF
file. Notification of acceptance will be mailed to the contact author
by November 10, 2003.
We will also consider single page position papers describing a topic
for discussion in break-out groups.
All workshop participants will be required to register for
IUI/CADUI'04 (http://www.iuiconf.org). In order to benefit from the
early registration discount, workshop participant will have a special
extension on the early registration deadline.
