Submit on EasyChair over here
Workshop Date: 20th March 2019
We invite researchers who are working towards User Experience, Internet of Things and developing Intelligent UI for IoT Systems to submit their work to the IUI 2019 Workshop on Intelligent User Interfaces for Internet of Things.
About the Workshop
Internet of Things (IoT) in one of the fastest growing technology of the modern world. The idea of a connected world has held a grip on numerous industries. IoT systems are being used in a wide range of applications, from household to industrial and from medical to agriculture. This workshop is focused on the User Experience in IoT environments.
We invite researchers to come together and discuss ideas and future directions for designing intelligent interfaces for various IoT domains.
Topics Covered
We invite papers that address the following topics. Papers on related topics that are not listed are also welcome. If you want to make sure that your paper fits the workshop, please do not hesitate to contact the organizers.
- Interface Design for IoT
- Interaction paradigms for IoT
- IoT usage and adoption studies
- Privacy and Security by Design in IoT spaces
- Usability of IoT Systems
- Voice controlled IoT system (Interactive Conversational Agents)
- User Modeling for IoT
- Adaptive IoT systems
- IoT applications, e.g. Smart Homes, M-Health, Public Tracking
- Accessibility for IoT Systems
The above list is not exhaustive. Papers on related topics that are not listed are also welcome. If you want to make sure that your paper fits the workshop, please do not hesitate to contact the organizers.
Author guidelines
We invite three types of paper submissions: Research Papers, Position papers and Resume/C.V. Both should be submitted by November 30, 2018 at 6pm Atlanta time (GMT-5:00).
Research and Position Papers
Papers can be submitted in two types of formats:
- 4 page extended abstract: Authors can submit papers about their completed or work in progress research.
- 2-page position statement: Authors can submit position papers which are oriented towards opportunities and challenges of studying IoT from an IUI perspective.
Resumes/C.V.
We invite Resumes/C.V. for anyone who wants to join this workshop in order to reserve a seat for a workshop.
Submission & Formatting

Program
Keynote: Augmented, Adaptive, Accessible, and Inclusive Things
By Dr. Ilaria Torre
In this new age of the Internet of Things (IoT) people and things are increasingly immersed in a computing environment that is aimed to simplify and improve daily activities. The Web of Things (WoT) is near to become a W3C Recommendation with the aim to support semantic interoperability across IoT platforms by providing a common interaction model independent of the underlying protocols. In this talk, I will illustrate the main principles of the WoT paradigm and then I will discuss the issue of Accessibility. Following on from the WoT concept of Things as virtual representations of physical digital things and also non-digital things, I will introduce an approach where we envision an Adaptive Web of Things as a mean to increase accessibility and usability of real world objects. The idea is that through the virtualization of physical objects, even objects which are not natively accessible can be augmented to become accessible and inclusive if proper adaptations are performed in order to fit the user’s needs.
