Workshop on Intelligent User Interfaces, Jan 93 Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1992 22:43:40 GMT Organization: Software Engineering Institute Advance Program and Registration Materials ====================== 1993 INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INTELLIGENT USER INTERFACES Sponsored by the ACM, Association for Computing Machinery ACM SIGCHI - Special Interest Group on Computer & Human Interaction ACM SIGART - Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence In Cooperation with: AAAI - American Association for Artificial Intelligence British HCI Group January 4-7, 1993 Buena Vista Palace Hotel, Walt Disney World Village, Orlando, Florida CoChair's Introduction/Invitation to IWIUI'93 The 1993 International Workshop on Intelligent User Interfaces will explore ways in which techniques for knowledge representation, inferencing, modeling, and presentation can provide the adaptability and reasoning capabilities required for more intelligent human-computer interaction. We aim to stimulate high quality discussion among participants from different countries and from disciplines such as cognitive science, human-computer interaction, computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners with an interest in methods, techniques, tools, and technology for constructing and evaluating intelligent systems. We invite you to attend the 1993 International Workshop on Intelligent User Interfaces to be held at the Buena Vista Palace Hotel, Walt Disney World Village, Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. The outstanding technical program is enhanced by social events and opportunities for extensive interaction with colleagues from different countries and disciplines, allowing participants to take advantage of the many attractions which have made Orlando the world's number one vacation destination. Sponsoring Organizations The 1993 International Workshop on Intelligent User Interfaces isvs{|*~jVO_UI`ponsored by the Special Interest Group on Computer & Human Interaction (SIGCHI) and the Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGART) of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). It is being held in cooperation with the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and the British HCI Group, a specialist group of the British Computer Society. Limited financial support has been made available to support attendance of deserving students at the Workshop to foster the field and expose students to a broad base of current research. We gratefully acknowledge the support of AAAI in providing this funding. Organizing Committee: General Co-Chairs: William E. Hefley, Carnegie Mellon University, U.S.A.

These interfaces rely on advanced computational techniques and cognitive science theories to build systems that enhance user performance. Such systems can help users to accomplish complex tasks by interpreting ambiguous input, phrasing multimodal output in ways sensitive to users' abilities and situations, and providing effective advice and assistance. This new event stems from a prior successful workshop in 1988 on Architectures for Intelligent Interfaces (sponsored by AAAI/ACM SIGCHI). The 1993 International Workshop will focus on a diversity of approaches to human- computer interaction, from those employing advanced computational techniques to those incorporating cognitive and user models to amplify human cognitive abilities. Technical Program We will begin Monday evening with an invited plenary address, followed by our welcoming social hour. The core of the conference is a three-day block of technical presentations, including papers and poster sessions. These sessions are followed by a pair of sessions focused on defining and discussing future directions for the field. There will be numerous opportunities for intense interaction with colleagues throughout the community.
