Call for Participation - CADUI'2002
4th International Conference on Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces
Valenciennes, France, May 15-17, 2002
http://belchi.qant.ucl.ac.be/cadui

Deadline: July 31, 2001
************************************************************************

CADUI is the triennial meeting of the "computer-aided design of user
interfaces" community in Human-Computer Interaction and serves as
the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research,
development and industrial experience in this area.

Previous editions of this event were:
- 1993 : CAGUI'93, 1st International Workshop on Computer-Aided
Generation of User Interfaces, Ulm, Germany, November 1993
- 1996 : CADUI'96, 2nd International Workshop on Computer-Aided
Design of User Interfaces, Namur, Belgium, June 1996
- 1999 : CADUI'99, 3rd International Conference on Computer-Aided
Design of User Interfaces, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, October 1999

Scope :
We seek high-quality, original papers and posters/demonstrations
that address the theory, design, development, evaluation of ideas,
tools, techniques, methodologies for computer-aided design of user
interfaces (UI) in (but not limited to) the following areas:

- Agent-based UI: interface agents, personal agents, intelligent agents,
commenting and design agents; mono and multi-agent architectures
- Automated and semi-automated generation of UI
- Automated integration of multimedia/multimodal input
- Automated presentation of information
- Computer-aided design of adaptive, adaptable and customizable UI
- Computer-aided design of ecological UI
- Computer-aided design of localized, globalized UI
- Computer-aided design of multi-user and/or collaborative UI
- Computer-aided design of UI during all development steps: requirements
gathering, specification, design, modeling, development, prototype,
evaluation, deployment, reverse engineering and re-engineering
- Computer-aided design of UI for the Internet, for tasks such as design,
navigation, brokering, electronic commerce, access, and presentation
- Computer-aided management of windows systems
- Decision support systems in UI design and evaluation
- Design patterns of UI
- Development support tools and techniques
- Domain specific model-based approaches
- Evaluation of CADUI tools and CADUI engineered UI
- Formal methods in interactive systems development and CADUI approaches
- Front-end interfaces to multimedia, hypermedia, knowledge-based,
personalized information, simulation systems
- Methods, metrics and tools for computer-aided evaluation of UI
- Model-based and task-based approaches to UI design
- Model-Based Interface Development Environments (MB-IDEs)
- Software tools and techniques for widget selection and placement
- UI management systems (UIMSs)
- UI modeling language

The CADUI'2002 meeting will have the thematic focus: "Towards a Uniform
User Interface Modeling Language". CAGUI'93, the first edition of this
event, largely focused on ways for automated production of user interfaces
since it was at that time a challenge to produce a running user interface.
CADUI'96, the second edition of this event, partially shifted this focus to
the question of how to design a user interface based on methods, models and
support software. CADUI'99, the third edition, put more emphasis on the
human control in the production process and by supporting design and
re-design. Today, several CADUI tools are available for use in both the
research and commercial markets. However, each tool or tool suite is using
its own model, its own language, etc.

The new challenges for 2002 would be
- To concentrate efforts on a shared uniform user interface modeling language
- To expand the process not only to design but also to other activities
involved so that it would be a computer-aided development of user interfaces
- To evaluate the methods, models and tools that have been produced so far
To build tools and have real designers use them.
