Full-length papers (up to 10 pages) are the main medium for
conveying new research results at UIST. Submissions are sought
that describe original, unpublished work on user interface
devices, techniques, applications, or metaphors.
Appropriate topics include but are not limited to:
- Novel, enabling technologies such as augmented reality,
perceptual user interfaces, tactile user interfaces,
tangible user interfaces, multimedia user interfaces, CSCW
user interfaces and unconventional input devices;
- Innovative user interfaces for difficult or challenging
applications, such as the management of large, complex
information sets, or domains, such as ubiquitous computing;
- Innovative software architectures and development
environments that support the development and use of the
above technologies and user interfaces.
The submission of supplementary videos is encouraged.
However, videos should be no more than five minutes in length
and 50MB in size.
See the video guide and the
general information below for details. 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.
Accepted papers will be published together with accepted
technotes in the UIST 2005 Proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library.
All papers should be submitted electronically to
http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi. (See General
Information below for information on the author guide,
guidelines for submitting supplementary videos, and links to the
electronic submission site.) Authors will be notified of paper
results on or before June 13.

TechNotes provide a forum for disseminating new interaction
techniques. UIST TechNotes are rigorously peer-reviewed,
shorter, and more focused submissions that bring new techniques
to the research and practice community. The combination of text,
pictures, videos, and live presentation help these techniques
get rapid feedback and early adoption.
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 generally should
not include exhaustive implementation details or user studies.
A TechNote submission should be no more than four ACM
conference pages in length, and any accompanying digital video
file should be at most three minutes long and 60MB in size.
See the video guide and the
general information below for details. TechNotes undergo the
same rigorous review process as regular papers.
Accepted TechNotes will be published together with accepted
papers in the UIST 2005 Proceedings, and in the ACM Digital Library. All TechNotes
should be submitted electronically to
http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi. (See General
Information below for information on the author guide,
guidelines for submitting supplementary videos, and links to the
electronic submission site.) Authors will be notified of
TechNote results on or before June 13.

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 TechNotes.
Poster submissions should be in the form of a two-page paper
in UIST format, describing the research problem, contribution,
and value to UIST attendees (PDF format). In addition to the
two-page paper, poster submissions require
submitting the poster itself (PDF format). Authors may include a
video (optional). Video files should be at most three minutes
long and 30MB in size.
See the video guide and the
general information below for details. Before designing the poster, we recommend
checking out the
UIST
2005 Poster Example Gallery.
Accepted poster abstracts will be published together with
demos in both a booklet and a DVD distributed to the conference
attendees. Posters and the optional video 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. 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. (Many
authors have found it easiest to create a slide in PowerPoint
and have a copy shop print it at 400% magnification. There are
copy shops in Seattle that can produce the print for you if
you'd prefer to avoid taking/shipping the poster.) In addition,
poster authors are expected to give a 60-second presentation of
their work at the conference (1-minute madness). Authors will be
notified of poster results on or before August 4.

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 demos will be published, together with posters, in a
booklet distributed to UIST attendees. UIST will showcase
accepted demos at a demo reception on Monday evening, October
24. We will also invite authors of accepted papers and TechNotes
to present their work at the demo reception.
A demo submission consists of an extended abstract that
should be no more than two ACM conference pages in length. Any
accompanying video should be at most three minutes long and 30MB
in size.
See the video guide and the
general information below for details. Both the
demo abstract and the optional digital video should be submitted
electronically to
http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi. Authors who need
to submit a physical videotape should contact Andy Wilson
directly. Authors will be notified of demo results on or before
August 4.

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 (no more than four pages in normal
UIST format).
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 participants who will be expected to give a short
presentation of their work, which will be followed by an
extensive discussion. In addition, each student is encouraged to
present a poster describing their work to the full conference.
Participants will be selected based on their anticipated
contribution to the breadth and depth of the intellectual
discussions of the Symposium.
The symposium will start with an informal dinner Saturday
evening, October 22nd, continue all day Sunday, and conclude
with poster presentations at the UIST opening reception Sunday
evening. Doctoral Symposium papers will be published in the UIST
conference companion distributed at the conference. 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 DS results on or before August 4.

Accepted papers and TechNotes will be published in the UIST
2005 Conference Proceedings and the UIST 2005 DVD Proceedings.
The primary author of each accepted paper or TechNote will
receive an Author Kit with detailed instructions on how to
submit a final, publication-ready version of the paper or
TechNote. Accepted demos and posters will be published in a
separate booklet that will be made available to the conference
attendees and in the DVD proceedings.
Contributions should be formatted using the
UIST
sample paper format. We recommend that prospective authors consult the
UIST 2005
Author's Guide. This document contains information on the
reviewing process and a description of what constitutes an
excellent UIST contribution. The
Author's
Guide also describes the page format for all submissions.
Note that submissions are not anonymous.
This year, we are accepting only electronic submissions (if
this creates a hardship, please contact the program chairs). To
submit electronically, see the UIST Electronic Submission site (http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi).
For details on the submission process, please consult the
Author's
Guide.
Videos of implementations should be submitted through the UIST
Electronic Submission Site. Authors of accepted papers and
TechNotes will be invited to submit a video presentation for the
DVD proceedings.
Although papers and TechNotes must stand on their own,
submitted videos will be sent to reviewers as supporting
material. We refer authors preparing a video file for UIST to
the
UIST 2005
Video Guide. 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 and TechNotes will have the opportunity to
prepare a more polished video presentation.
When submitting your video for review, please encode
your video in an AVI or MPG format that plays on Windows
Media Player 9+ (for
PC, for
Mac) or as a MOV file that plays on Apple
QuickTime player. We encourage QuickTime, which
seems to work best across platforms. Do not expect
reviewers to install any additional codecs, such as wmv
or techsmith/camtasia. If in doubt, try it out. Please note that
the total aggregate size for a submission cannot exceed 60 MBytes (including all documents and additional material). If you
cannot comply with this limit, please contact
olsen[at]cs.byu.edu.
Final version of accepted videos (updated): Once accepted, you will need to provide a final
version of your video for inclusion in the DVD. To make
it easier for attendees to use individual videos, e.g.,
for teaching purposes, this year's UIST DVD will be a data
DVD that contains a collection of video files and
that will not play in consumer DVD players. As a
result, we will accept a broader range of video formats.
Here are the details:
- Please submit the final version of your video
using
http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi,
just like you did for the review version (site not
setup yet). If you have trouble
uploading large files you may also mail a CD, MiniDv,
S-VHS, or VHS tape with
your video file to Wanda Mar//Pacific Northwest
National laboratory//3350 Q Avenue//MS: K7-28,
Bldg: ISB-1 Room422//Richland, WA 99352. In case you would like
to do this, please contact Wanda for
details (Wanda.Mar[at]pnl.gov or +1(509)372-4930)
- Unlike the reviewing version, the final version
can be up to 200MB. We encourage you to use the
extra space for higher quality settings and higher
resolution (TV/DVD
resolution 640x480 or 720 x 480 pixels).
- Please use QuickTime format if possible,
otherwise use mpeg or avi. Make sure that your video
plays on an out-of-the box PC or Mac running Windows
Media Player 9+ (for
PC, for
Mac) or Apple
QuickTime player and that it does
not require
users to install any additional codecs (such as wmv
or techsmith/camtasia).
- We want to make sure that attendees will have no
problems playing the videos on the UIST 2005 DVD. Our video
chairs Wanda Mar and Anne Schur will therefore serve
as gatekeepers and will let you know if your video does
not play properly. Please follow their advice and
resubmit your video if necessary.
- If in doubt, please contact Wanda Mar (Wanda.Mar[at]pnl.gov
or +1(509)372-4930).

Benefits and Duties
If you are a UIST Student Volunteer, you get...
Free conference registration
Free T-shirt
A chance to attend the premier forum for innovations in
developing human-computer interfaces
In the past, volunteers have also been given up to three
nights of free housing. As soon as this year's housing
benefit is confirmed, we will post information about it.
All you need to do is help us set up the conference and
perform needed work during the conference. There will be at most
10 hours of work required of each volunteer.
Arriving and Leaving
When you arrive at the conference is somewhat flexible, but
you should try to arrive at least a couple hours before the
start of the conference on Sunday.
When you leave is also flexible, but you should try to plan
it so you don't leave the hotel until sessions end on Wednesday.
Also, we strongly encourage you to put off leaving until as late
as you possibly can, because it's traditional to have a small
party for student volunteers after UIST (or occasionally during
UIST). The time and place for this party will be announced when
we know all the student volunteers' travel plans.
