| PAPERS |
|
Full-length papers (10 pages or 5000 words) are the main medium for conveying new research results at the UIST symposium. Submissions are sought that describe original, unpublished work on user-interface devices, techniques, or metaphors. Appropriate topics include but are not limited to:
|
The submission of supplementary videos is encouraged. However, videos should be no more than five minutes in length. Rigorous reviewing is a UIST hallmark: each paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee, and three external reviewers. Authors of accepted papers will also be invited to participate in the demo session. Please see General Information for further details on submissions. Paper submissions must be received by the Program Chair no later than Friday, May 11, 2001.
|
| TECHNOTES |
|
Technique Notes ("TechNotes") offer an opportunity to disseminate important new interaction and visualization techniques that can be described in two pages. Although shorter in length, UIST TechNotes are held to the same quality standards as full-length papers. Accepted TechNotes will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference. Typically, a TechNote is a succinct description, possibly including screen dumps and accompanying video, of a novel user interface technique with sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique. TechNotes should not include exhaustive implementation details or summaries of user studies.
|
A TechNote submission should be no more than two ACM conference pages in length, and any accompanying videotape or digital video file should be at most three minutes long. TechNotes undergo the same rigorous review process as regular papers. Please see General Information for further details on submissions. TechNote submissions must be received by the Program Chair no later than Friday, May 11, 2001.
|
| DEMOS |
| Peer-reviewed demonstrations show early implementations of novel, interesting, and important interface concepts and HCI systems. They can also serve to showcase commercial products not previously described in the research literature. The demos will be given in parallel at the opening reception. Demos should be brief so that they can be shown repeatedly during the demonstration session. Demos with which people can interact are especially encouraged. Authors of accepted papers and TechNotes will also be invited to participate in the demo session. |
A Demo submission should be no more than two ACM conference pages in length, and any accompanying videotape or digital video file should be at most four minutes long. Descriptions of accepted demos will be included in the symposium proceedings. Please see General Information for further details on submissions. Demo submissions must be received by the Program Chair no later than Friday, May 11, 2001. |

INTERFACE DESIGN CONTEST |
| UIST 2001 will feature the first UIST Interface Design Contest. Contestants will have designed and implemented an interface to a real-time game application prior to the symposium. The game has been designed to accommodate a wide range of possible interfaces. During the contest they will use their interface to play the game in a tournament. Prizes worth an estimated $2500 will be awarded to the winners. | Complete details on the contest
are available here.
The contest will be held during the opening reception. To reserve a place
in the contest, an entry form must be received by the Conference Chair no
later than Friday, October 12, 2001.

GENERAL INFORMATION |
|
Accepted papers will be published in the UIST 2001
Conference Proceedings and the UIST 2001 Electronic
Publication. The primary author of each accepted paper
will receive an Author Kit with detailed instructions on
how to submit a final, publication-ready version of the
paper.
We recommend that prospective authors consult the UIST 2001 Authors Guide. This document contains information on the reviewing process and a description of what constitutes an excellent UIST paper. The Author's Guide also describes the page format for paper submissions. This guide can be found at http://www.acm.org/uist/guide.html. This year, we are accepting both electronic submissions (in PDF format) and paper submissions. To submit electronically, see the UIST Electronic Submission site. For details on the submission process, please consult the Author's Guide. |
Video of implementations is encouraged. This year, authors
may submit a URL for a digital video file in lieu of
a videotape (see the
UIST Electronic Submission site for details). Authors of
accepted papers will be invited to submit a video presentation
for a video compendium that will be sold at the conference.
Although papers must stand on their own, submitted
video will be sent to reviewers as supporting material.
We refer those people preparing a videotape or video file
for UIST to a modified version of the CHI '96 video guide ( http://www.acm.org/uist/videos-guide.html ). This guide describes how to produce an ideal video for UIST. Please do not be intimidated by the guide. Videos are viewed only as supporting material, and authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to prepare a more polished video presentation.
