CALL FOR PROPOSALS
We are pleased to invite proposals for tutorials to be held in conjunction  
with the conference. The goal of the tutorials is to provide a venue for  
presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to  
discuss research questions and challenges. Tutorials are designed to  
provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to  
intelligent user interfaces, and the intersection between Human-Computer  
Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Note: We encourage you to contact the chairs with your ideas (emails  
above), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal.
We encourage proposals for a wide range of tutorials, including but not  
limited to:
- "Hands-on" or “project-centric” tutorials around a specific problem or  
topic.
- Tutorials on a specific topic relevant to IUI; for example, methods and  
approaches in HCI and/or AI, specific techniques or algorithms to develop  
intelligent user interfaces, etc.

Tutorials will be held on the first day of the conference. We invite  
submissions of proposals for half-day (3 hours) or  full-day (6 hours)  
tutorials. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the tutorial  
chairs. We encourage you to consider virtual and semi-virtual options for  
the tutorial in the submission.

The organizers of accepted tutorials are responsible for producing a call  
for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to  
relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to  
potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Tutorial  
organizers are also required to set up their own website with information  
about the tutorial and the IUI 2021 web site will refer to this website.

PROPOSAL FORMAT
Tutorial proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the  
formatting instructions at  
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Please either use  
the Word interim template with Libertine fonts downloaded and embedded, or  
the LaTex sigconf template.

The proposals should be organized as follows:
- Name and title: A one-word acronym and a full title.

- Description of tutorial topic: This description should discuss the  
relevance of the suggested topic to IUI and its interest for the IUI2021  
audience. Include a brief discussion of why and for which audience the  
tutorial is of particular interest.

- Organizer(s): Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the  
organizer(s). Provide a brief description of the background of the  
organiser(s). Strong proposals normally include organizers who bring  
differing perspectives on the topic and are actively connected to the  
communities of potential participants. Also please provide a list of other  
tutorials organized by the organizers in the past.

- Participants: A statement saying how many participants you expect and  
how you plan to invite participants for the tutorial. If possible, include  
the names of at least 10 people who have expressed interest to participate  
in the tutorial.

-Tutorial format: A brief description of the format regarding the mix of  
events or activities, such as teaching activities, hands-on practical  
exercises, and general discussion. Please also list here any material you  
will make available to tutorial participants, e.g. slides, access to  
hardware/software, handouts, etc.

- Planned outcomes of the tutorial: What are you hoping to achieve by the  
end of the tutorial.

- Length: Half-day or Full-day.
