Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI'14). It is the nineteenth IUI conference, continuing its tradition of being the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The work that appears at IUI bridges these two fields and also delves into related fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, and many others. Members of the IUI community are interested in improving the symbiosis between humans and computers, and in making systems adapt to humans rather then the other way round.

The call for papers attracted 191 submissions from Asia, America Europe, Africa, and Australia. The program committee accepted 46 papers, covering a diverse set of topics, reflected in the session titles "From Touch through Air to Brain" "Learning and Skills", "Intelligent Visual Interaction", "Users and Motion", "Leveraging Social Competencies", "Adaptive User Interfaces" and a special session with papers that honor the memory of John Riedl, who left us too early. A great attraction of the conference is provided by the scientific keynotes: Professor Wolfgang Wahlster opens the conference program with a keynote on "Multiadaptive Interfaces to Cyber-Physical Environments", Professor Noam Tractinsky's second day keynote is on "Visual Aesthetics of Interactive Technologies" and the last day keynote, by Professor Mark Billinghurst is on "Using AR to Create Empathic Experiences". In addition we are pleased to offer an invited talk by a relevant industry speaker, Yanki Margalit: "Startup nation and the Makers revolution. Intelligent user interfaces and the future of the Israeli hi-tech". We also have 11 posters and an excellent demonstration program consisting of 27 demos. In addition, the conference provides four very interesting workshops and a student consortium.
