IUI 2008 (Canary Islands, Spain)

IUI 2008 is the annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and serves as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. IUI 2008 will focus on interface innovation.
It’s time for the next generation of user interfaces. People want to do increasingly interesting and complex things with information technologies, but our interfaces need new ways of interacting with people. We can’t get to the next generation of user interfaces simply by adding more menus and icons to our already overcrowded screens. Sooner or later, our interfaces need to understand more about what people are doing with them, become self-reflective, and communicate using natural modalities such as speech and gesture.
IUI is where the community of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. Contributions from related fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, etc., are also welcome. Unlike traditional AI, the focus is not so much to make the computer smart all by itself, but to make the interaction between computers and people smarter. Unlike traditional HCI, solutions can involve large amounts of knowledge, heuristics, and emerging technologies such as natural language understanding or gesture recognition.
