26th ACM UIST Symposium - St ANDREWS, UK, Oct. 8-11, 2013

The ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST) is the premier forum for innovations in human-computer interfaces. Sponsored by ACM special interest groups on computer-human interaction (SIGCHI) and computer graphics (SIGGRAPH), UIST brings together people from diverse areas including graphical & web user interfaces, tangible & ubiquitous computing, virtual & augmented reality, multimedia, new input & output devices, and CSCW. The intimate single track size make UIST an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and ideas.

UIST 2013 (October 8-11) was co-located with ITS 2013, the ACM Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces 2013 conferences. ITS 2013 ended just before the UIST main program started on October 9th.

This year UIST selection was highly competitive: only 62 papers out of 317 submitted were accepted (slightly less than 20%) after comprehensive reviews by external reviewers and intensive debates at the program committee. These 317 papers represent an increased submission growth rate of 10% on last years record! The accepted papers represent some of best current research in user interface technologies which you are invited to St Andrews this October to learn more about.
