Call for Papers
User Interfaces to Data Intensive Systems
UIDIS
Edinburgh 5th - 6th September 1999
http://img.cs.man.ac.uk/UIDIS99
Background
Research into user interfaces to databases and other
information
management systems is often considered to lag behind research
in
the underlying technologies. However, in an age where
information
that is stored anywhere is routinely available anywhere, the
need
for effective user interfaces to data intensive systems is
certainly as great as ever.
This workshop, which builds upon the series of workshops in
Interfaces to Database Systems (IDS) held in 1992, 1994 and
1996,
seeks to bring together researchers in information management
systems and human-computer interaction to exchange ideas and
results on how user interfaces to data intensive systems can
be
made easier to both construct and use.
The two day workshop will be held in Edinburgh, the historic
capital city of Scotland, between the Interact and VLDB
conferences, thereby allowing attendees at either of these
major
international conferences to attend the workshop, and vice
versa.
UIDIS will be a limited numbers workshop, to encourage an
informal
atmosphere and to provide plenty scope for discussion and
debate
as well as presentations and demonstrations.
Topics of Interest
UIDIS is intended to be an interdisciplinary forum, and
invites
papers on all aspects of user interfaces to data intensive
systems. The following list should thus be taken as
indicating
topics of particular interest, rather than as a filtering
mechanism:
data mining tools multimedia interfaces
distributed information natural language
interfaces
systems
information retrieval query interfaces
information visualisation user-interface development
systems
intelligent user interfaces user studies
interactive system design virtual reality
interface architectures visual information
management
semantic hypermedia visual languages
model-based interfaces
Also invited are application papers that can report on
experience
in medical, scientific, spatial or other challenging domains,
and
interfaces to different forms of data-intensive systems, such
as
databases, design tools, digital libraries, etc.
Submission Guidelines
Papers should be up to 5000 words in length, and should be
submitted to the address given below. Demonstration proposals
should be marked as such, and should be submitted as short
papers
of up to 1000 words. The proceedings will contain both papers
and
short reports on demonstrations (it should be assumed that
demonstrations will have to be run on stand-alone PCs unless
presenters can bring their own hardware).
Important Dates
March 1, 1999 Deadline for submission of papers
May 15, 1999 Notification of acceptance/rejection
June 15, 1999 Submission of camera ready copy
