CALL FOR PAPERS



Intelligent User Interfaces for Developing Regions:

Users, Problems and Technologies



Third IUI4DR Workshop in Conjunction with IUI 2013

Santa Monica, California

March 19, 2013



Website: http://www.eis.mdx.ac.uk/research/idc/IUI4DR/



Abstract Submission Deadline:  9 Jan 2013

==========================================================



OVERVIEW



This workshop aims to look at interaction from the viewpoint of users in

developing regions.  We will identify  interesting research challenges and

usability obstacles experienced by this user population at the workshop.

Related workshops were conducted in 2008 and 2011, and several interesting

themes emerged, for example low-literacy and multimodal interfaces. In

2013, we will build on past workshops by focusing on different themes that

affect the interactions of this target population. This will involve a

deeper user-centered analysis of who the users are in developing regions,

the main devices they use for interaction, their most common application

content, and the computer input capabilities that best support their

language and application needs. At IUI4DR 2013, we aim to focus on

understanding the problem(s) faced by people in developing regions, and how

those problems could be addressed by appropriate intelligent user interface

technologies.



TOPICS OF INTEREST



1. Users and their problems: We wish to invite papers that provide insights

on how the users in developing countries are different from users in the

developed world. What specific issues need to be considered in terms of

native language literacy, English language literacy, or knowing how to

operate technology? While “low literacy” and “low purchasing power” are

frequently attributed to users in developing regions, we wish to develop

deeper insights into the variability among these users and implications for

user-centered design, methods, and appropriate evaluation techniques.



2. Interfaces in developing regions: The developed world is moving from

standard keyboard-based interfaces to incorporate new interaction styles

such as touch-screen, gesture-based, augmented-reality, video/image-based,

spoken language, tangible, and multimodal interfaces. At IUI4DR we would

like researchers to share insights and debate what types of interface

worked best in the developing world and why.



3. Input technologies: Most worldwide languages in developing regions are

not Roman alphabetic ones, such as English, which are supported well with

keyboard input and dominate the content represented on the Web. What

obstacles existto expressing other native languages when using existing

computers, and why is the ability to express one’s native language a

consequential issue?



4. Application content: While healthcare, agriculture, education, small

business and finance are considered primary domains in most developing

regions, we wouldalso be interested in applications involving governance,

disaster management, and other mobile domains.



5. Intelligence in interfaces: We would like to invite papers that could

propose AI techniques such as recommender systems, conversational agents,

intelligent assistants that have been used in the context of developing

regions.



We seek original, unpublished papers in the following two categories: (a)

Up to 2 page position papers that describe novel ideas on interesting

research themes and directions, (b) Full papers or work-in-progress (6-10

pages) that document system interfaces, usability issues, user analyses,

prototypes of new interfaces, and related topics for users in developing

countries. Papers should be in the IUI publication format. The papers need

to be authored in CHI archival format. All submissions should be in the PDF

format and should be submitted electronically through the IUI4DR Easychair

Conference site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iui4dr13).

Since the submission deadlines are dependent on the IUI conference, we will

not be able to grant any extensions in any circumstances. We also propose

to edit a post-workshop proceedings or book that would define the problem

of people interacting with information in the developing regions, and an

articulation of possible approaches to overcoming these problems.



Since the workshop also aims to be a community building event and exchange

for researchers working in this area, at least one author of an accepted

paper is required to attend the workshop to present their work.
