> UIST (ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology) is
> the premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of
> human-computer interfaces. Sponsored by the ACM special interest
> groups on computer-human interaction (SIGCHI) and computer graphics
> (SIGGRAPH), UIST brings together researchers and practitioners from
> diverse areas that include traditional graphical & Web user
> interfaces, tangible & ubiquitous computing, virtual & augmented
> reality, multimedia, new input & output devices, and CSCW. The
> intimate size, single track, and comfortable surroundings make this
> symposium an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and
> implementation experiences.

> ========== CALL FOR POSTERS ==========
>
> Posters provide an interactive forum in which authors can present
> work to conference attendees during special poster sessions. Posters
> provide an opportunity to describe new work or work that is still in
> progress, and will be more lightly reviewed than papers or tech notes.
>
> A poster submission should be in the form of a two-page paper in
> UIST abstract format, describing the research problem, contribution,
> and value to UIST attendees. Note that poster submission, unlike
> paper and tech note submission, is *not* anonymous. In addition to
> the two-page paper, poster submissions require submitting a sketch
> of the poster itself. Both the paper and poster should be submitted
> as PDF files. Authors may also include a video (optional). Video
> files should be at most three minutes long and 50MB in size.
>
> See the video guide:
>
> http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2009/call/VideoGuide.html
>
> ...and the general submission information:

>
> Before designing your poster, we recommend checking out the UIST
> 2005 Poster Example Gallery:
>
> http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2005/posterexamplegallery.html
>
> Accepted poster abstracts will be published together with
> demonstration and doctoral symposium abstracts in both a booklet and
> a DVD distributed to conference attendees. Posters and videos may
> also be published in the DVD, at the authors' discretion. Poster
> abstracts and previews should be submitted electronically to:
>
> http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi
>
> Posters will be displayed on corkboards during conference break
> periods, and will be presented at an evening session during the
> conference. We expect to be able to accommodate posters of up to 3
> feet by 4 feet (either vertical or horizontal), so we suggest using
> that size or smaller for your prototype. In addition, poster authors
> are expected to give a 40-second presentation of their work at the
> conference as part of the "UIST madness" session.
>
> Authors will be notified of poster results on or before Friday, July
> 24, 2009. Final abstracts will be due Monday, August 10, 2009.

> ========== CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS ==========
>
> Peer-reviewed demonstrations show early implementations of novel,
> interesting, and important interaction concepts or user interface
> systems. They can also serve to showcase commercial products not
> previously described in the research literature. Demonstrations
> should be brief, so that they can be shown repeatedly. We
> particularly encourage demos with which attendees can interact.
>
> Accepted demonstration abstracts will be published together with
> poster and doctoral symposium abstracts in both a booklet and a DVD
> distributed to conference attendees. Videos may also be published in
> the DVD, at the authors' discretion. UIST will showcase accepted
> demos at an evening demo reception during the conference. In
> addition, demo presenters are expected to give a 40-second summary
> of their work at the conference as part of the "UIST madness"
> session. We will also invite authors of accepted papers and tech
> notes to present their work at the demo reception.
>
> A demo submission consists of an extended abstract in UIST abstract
> format that should be no more than two pages in length. Note that
> demo submission, unlike paper and tech note submission, is *not*
> anonymous. Submitting an accompanying video is optional, but
> highly encouraged. Any submitted video should be at most three
> minutes long and 50MB in size. See the video guide:

> Both the demo abstract and the optional digital video should be

>
> Authors who need to submit a physical videotape should contact the
> Demos chairs directly. Authors will be notified of demo results on
> or before Friday, July 24, 2009. Final abstracts will be due Monday,
> August 10, 2009.

> ========== CALL FOR DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM PRESENTATIONS ==========
>
> The UIST Doctoral Symposium is a forum in which Ph.D. students can
> meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of
> experienced UIST researchers in an informal and interactive setting.
> We welcome applications from current Ph.D. students studying within
> the full range of disciplines and approaches that contribute to the
> UIST community. We will give preference to applicants beyond the
> proposal stage and well into their dissertation research. Each
> applicant should provide a short written paper in UIST abstract
> format that should be no more than four pages in length. See the
> author guide at:
>
> http://www.acm.org/uist/uist2009/call/AuthorGuide.html
>
> Note that Doctoral Symposium submission, unlike paper and tech note
> submission, is *not* anonymous.
>
> This paper should describe ongoing work and might summarize the
> student's full dissertation work, or highlight a particular part in
> depth.
>
> The Doctoral Symposium committee will select approximately eight
> students to participate. Each student will be expected to give a
> short presentation of their work, which will be followed by
> extensive discussion with the panel and the other student
> participants. In addition, each student is encouraged to present a
> poster describing his or her work to the full conference. (See the
> Call for Posters for information about poster width and height
> constraints.) Participants will be selected based on their
> anticipated contributions to the breadth and depth of the
> intellectual discussions of the symposium.
>
> The symposium will start with an informal dinner Saturday evening,
> October 3rd, continue all day Sunday, October 4th, and conclude with
> poster presentations at the UIST demo/poster reception. Doctoral
> Symposium abstracts will be published together with poster and
> demonstration abstracts in both a booklet and a DVD distributed to
> conference attendees. Posters may also be published in the DVD, at
> the participant's discretion. We anticipate that a travel stipend
> and free registration to the UIST conference will be provided to
> each participant.
>
> Doctoral Symposium papers and poster sketches should be submitted
> electronically to:
>
> http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi
>
> Authors will be notified of Doctoral Symposium results on or before
> Friday, July 24, 2009.
