ISWC is a major international forum for presenting visionary research on all aspects of the Semantic Web. The Uncertainty Reasoning workshop is an exciting opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization between the uncertainty reasoning community and the Semantic Web / Linked Data community. Effective methods for reasoning under uncertainty are vital for realizing many aspects of the Semantic Web vision, but the ability of current-generation web technology to handle uncertainty remains extremely limited. Thus, there is a continuing demand for uncertainty reasoning technology among Semantic Web researchers and developers, and the URSW workshop creates a unique opening to bring together two communities with a clear commonality of interest but limited history of interaction. By capitalizing on this opportunity, URSW could spark dramatic progress toward realizing the Semantic Web vision. AUDIENCE The intended audience for this workshop includes the following * Researchers in uncertain reasoning technologies with interest in the Semantic Web and Linked Data * Semantic Web and Linked Data developers and researchers * People in the knowledge representation community with interest in the Semantic Web and Linked Data * Ontology researchers and ontological engineers * Web services researchers and developers with interest in the Semantic Web * Developers of tools designed to support semantic web implementation, e.g., Jena developers, Protégé developers, OWL-API developers... TOPIC LIST We intend to have an open discussion on any topic relevant to the general subject of uncertainty in the Semantic Web and Linked Data (including fuzzy theory, probability theory, and other approaches). Therefore, the following list should be just an initial guide. * Syntax and semantics for extensions to Semantic Web / Linked Data languages to enable representation of uncertainty * Logical formalisms to support uncertainty in Semantic Web / Linked Data languages * Probability theory as a means of assessing the likelihood that terms in different ontologies refer to the same or similar concepts * Architectures for applying plausible reasoning to the problem of ontology mapping * Using fuzzy approaches to deal with imprecise concepts within ontologies * The concept of a probabilistic ontology and its relevance to the Semantic Web * Best practices for representing uncertain, incomplete, ambiguous, or controversial information in the Semantic Web / Linked Data * The role of uncertainty as it relates to web services and cloud computing * Interface protocols with support for uncertainty as a means to improve interoperability among web services * Uncertainty reasoning techniques applied to trust issues in the Semantic Web and Linked Data * Existing implementations of uncertainty reasoning tools in the context of the Semantic Web and Linked Data * Issues and techniques for integrating tools for representing and reasoning with uncertainty; * The future of uncertainty reasoning for the Semantic Web and Linked Data IMPORTANT DATES * July 15, 2016: Paper submissions due * July 31: Paper acceptance notification * August 7: Camera-ready papers due * Oct 17 or 18: 12th International Workshop on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web SUBMISSION DETAILS The URSW will be accepting submissions of technical papers and position papers. Each submission will be evaluated for acceptability by at least three members of the Program Committee. Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the above topic list, originality, potential significance, topicality and clarity. Since all accepted papers will be presented at the workshop, we require that at least one of the submitting authors must be a registered participant at the ISWC 2016 Conference, and committed to attend the URSW Workshop. Submissions to the workshop are only accepted in electronic format and should be sent via the workshop's EasyChair submission site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ursw2016 Papers must be formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). This is the very same format adopted by the ISWC 2016. For complete details, see Springer's Author Instructions (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Technical papers submitted to the URSW Workshop must not exceed 12 pages, including figures and references. Submissions exceeding this limit will not be reviewed. Position papers consist of a summary of ideas, projects, or any research efforts that are relevant to the URSW Workshop and must not exceed 4 pages. Following the general acceptance rules of the ISWC 2016 conference, papers that, at the time of submission, are under review for or have already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference will not be accepted to the URSW workshop. PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION All papers accepted to the URSW will be presented during the workshop and published in the workshop proceedings. Authors of accepted technical papers will have 20 minutes to present their work, while authors of accepted position papers will have a 10-minute slot to share their ideas. After each presentation, 5 minutes will be allocated to questions from the audience. Both technical and position papers will be published in the URSW workshop proceedings, to be available after the ISWC 2016 conference. In addition, we are planning a journal special issue or Lecture Notes in Computer Science/ Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI) volume with selected extended and revised versions of technical papers presented at URSW 2016.

URL: From info at ecmlpkdd2017.org Tue Jul 19 11:31:15 2016 From: info at ecmlpkdd2017.org (ECML-PKDD 2017) Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:31:15 +0200 Subject: Journal track submission for ECML-PKDD 2017 is *OPEN* Message-ID: CALL FOR PAPERS Journal track of the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECMLPKDD) 2017 www.ecmlpkdd2017.org September 18-22, 2017, Skopje, Macedonia We invite submissions for the journal track of the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECMLPKDD) 2017. The journal track of the conference is implemented in partnership with the Machine learning journal and the Data mining and Knowledge Discovery journal. The conference provides an international forum for the discussion of the latest high-quality research results in all areas related to machine learning, data mining, and knowledge discovery. Eligibility criteria: Papers on all topics related to machine learning, knowledge discovery, and data mining are invited. However, given the special nature of the journal track, only papers that satisfy the quality criteria of journal papers and at the same time lend themselves to conference talks will be considered. This implies that journal versions of previously published conference papers, or survey papers will not be considered for the special issue. Papers that do not fall into the eligible category may be rejected without formal reviews but can of course be resubmitted as regular papers. Authors are encouraged to adhere to the best practices of Reproducible Research (RR), by making available data and software tools for reproducing the results reported in their papers. For the sake of persistence and proper authorship attribution, we require the use of standard repository hosting services such as http://dataverse.org, http://mldata.org, http://openml.org, etc. for data sets, and http://mloss.org, https://bitbucket.org, https://github.com, etc. for source code. Authors who submit their work to the special ECMLPKDD issues of the journals commit themselves to present their results at the ECMLPKDD 2017 conference in case of acceptance. Reviewing process: The journal track allows continuous submissions from the end of July 2016 to the end of March 2017. We start with a single cutoff per month, increasing to two cutoffs per month starting October 2016 on which we distribute papers to reviewers. More precisely, we will have the following cut-off dates: - 31.7.2016, 28.8.2016, 25.9.2016 - 9.10.2016, 23.10.2016, 6.11.2016, 20.11.2016, 4.12.2016, 18.12.2016 - 8.1.2017, 22.1.2017, 5.2.2017, 19.2.2017, 5.3.2017, 19.3.2017 We strive for a high quality and efficient review process. Each submission will be evaluated by three experienced reviewers including members of the Guest Editorial Board. We aim to send the first decision letters 5-7 weeks from submission. This suggests that we should be able to consider all of the submissions for the special issue. However, the experience from the past editions of the journal track shows that often there is a need for revisions of the submissions and this extends the review process. Considering this, for submissions for the 5.2.2017 cut-off date and later, the chance of inclusion in the ECML PKDD 2017 special issue exponentially decreases and, consequently, will not make it on time for presentation at the 2017 conference. Furthermore, submissions after this cut-off date will not adhere to the fast track reviewing procedure but we will employ the review timeline for a normal journal submission (because the reviewing period for the main conference will overlap with these review cycles). Moreover, the 2015 JT chairs recorded a decreasing acceptance rate for submissions after mid-February. Finally, inclusion of the delayed papers in forthcoming special issues and conference editions is subject to approval of the respective Program and Journal track chairs. Submission procedure: To submit to this track, authors have to make a journal submission to either the Springer Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery journal or the Springer Machine Learning journal, and select the type of submission to be for the ECMLPKDD 2017 special issue. It is recommended that submitted papers do not exceed 20 pages including references and appendices, formatted in the Springer journal style (svjour3,smallcondensed). This is a soft limit, but if a submission exceeds the limit, please provide a brief justification regarding the length in the cover letter. For submissions to both journals, authors are required to include an information sheet (up to 2 pages) that contains a short summary of their contribution and specifically address the following questions: 1. What is the main claim of the paper? Why is this an important contribution to the machine learning/data mining literature? 2. What is the evidence provided to support claims? Be precise. 3. Report 3-5 most closely related contributions in the past 7 years (authored by researchers outside the authors’ research group) and briefly state the relation of the submission to them. 4. Who are the most appropriate reviewers for the paper? Authors are encouraged to suggest up to four candidate reviewers (especially if external to the Guest Editorial Board), including a brief motivation for each suggestion. 5.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned 5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. Why you should submit to ACM IUI: At ACM IUI, we focus on the interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence. While other conferences focus on one side or the other, we address the complex interaction between the two. We welcome research that explores how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter, which may leverage solutions from data mining, knowledge representation, novel interaction paradigms, and emerging technologies. We strongly encourage submissions that discuss research from both HCI and AI simultaneously, but also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other. The conference brings together people from academia, industry and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. Submission Full and Short Papers We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. IUI 2017 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for the design of intelligent interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contribution. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWZpaG0ub3JnICwJCQlldmVudEBpbi50dS1jbGF1c3RoYWwuZGUJMjJuZCBBQ00gSW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbCBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMTcpOiBGb3VydGggQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFwZXJzCTQ0CUxpc3RzCTI0NQljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftiis.acm.org%29 special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2017". Examples of ACM IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Intelligent visualization tools · User-Adaptive interaction and personalization · Recommender systems · Intelligent wearable, mobile and ubiquitous interfaces · Modeling and prediction of user behavior · Information retrieval and search · Education and learning-related technologies · Social media analysis · Multi-modal interfaces (speech, gestures, eye gaze, face, physiological information etc.) · Natural language and speech processing · Generation of multimodal content · Big Data and analytics · Smart environments and tangible computing · Intelligent assistants for complex tasks · Collaborative interfaces · Persuasive and assistive technologies in IUI · Affective and aesthetic interfaces · Interactive machine learning · Planning and plan recognition for IUI · Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation · Proactive and agent-based user interaction · Example-and demonstration-based interfaces · Evaluations of intelligent user interfaces Submission Guidelines · Full paper (anonymized 10 pages, references do not count toward the page limit) should make substantial, novel, and relevant contribution to the field. · Short paper (anonymized 4 pages, references do not count toward the page limit) is a much more focused and succinct contribution to the field. Short papers are not expected to include a discussion of related work that is as broad and complete as that of full papers. · Anonymization: ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines: 1. Author's names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper. 2. Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process. 3. Self-citations should be included where necessary, but must use the third person. For example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ..." is not allowed, whereas "... as shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation). Failure to follow these guidelines may results in submissions being rejected without review. Submissions should follow the standard SigCHI format available here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWZpaG0ub3JnICwJCQlldmVudEBpbi50dS1jbGF1c3RoYWwuZGUJMjJuZCBBQ00gSW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbCBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMTcpOiBGb3VydGggQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFwZXJzCTQ0CUxpc3RzCTI0NQljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sigchi.org%2Fpublications%2Fchipubform%2F . You may use either the Microsoft Word template or the LaTeX template. Accepted full papers will be invited for oral presentation. Accepted short papers will be invited either as oral or poster presentation, depending on the quality of the papers.

This support is in the form of a small stipend to cover the registration fee and partially cover the costs of travel and living expenses while attending the conference. The students will be reimbursed for their expenses after the conference. All students who get travel grants from SIGCHI must send us a paragraph about their experience and a headshot before they will be reimbursed. You must be a member of SIGCHI before you apply ($19 dues). The objective of IUI's student support is to encourage students interested in subjects related to Intelligent User Interfaces to become active members of the IUI community. To apply, the student should be actively enrolled as a student in an academic institution. Priority will be given to students who are first authors of accepted papers and to participants in the doctoral consortium. Recipients of the stipend are also expected to help the conference organization as student volunteers. The level of support will be determined by the availability of funds and the number of eligible applications. The application should include: 1. Full name 2. Email address 3. The school you are attending, your major, and the country in which the school resides 4. If you will present at the conference, please provide the title of the submission and its type (e.g., research paper, student consortium, demo). Please note if you have submitted but have not found out if your submission has been accepted 5. A short statement describing your research interests and how you wish to benefit from attending this conference 6. The location you are flying from and the cost for your airfare, as determined by the availability of low-cost economy fares for travel to the conference. Please describe any other expenses you expect to accrue, but do not include registration and housing costs, as they are similar for all students 7. A letter of recommendation from your thesis or doctoral advisor (or supervising faculty member) sent separately by email to the Student Consortium Co-Chairs. If you are also applying to the Student Consortium, one appropriately worded recommendation letter can be used for both applications, or you may submit a slightly different letter for each application 8. You must be a member of SIGCHI before you apply The application The SSTG application has two parts: an application form that is submitted by the student; and a letter of support from the student's advisor that the student will attach to his or her application. More information and a link for submitting an application (available a month before the deadline, early July 2016) can be found on the SIGCHI website (http://www.sigchi.org/conferences/funding/student-travel-grant). Submit your single, combined PDF (except letter of recommendation, must be a separate PDF to attach to the application) to PCS by the deadline!

It has enormous application in numerous fields, including science, engineering, healthcare, business, and medicine. Typical datasets in these fields are large, complex, and often noisy. Extracting knowledge from these datasets requires the use of sophisticated, high-performance, and principled analysis techniques and algorithms, which are based on sound theoretical and statistical foundations. These techniques in turn require implementations on high performance computational infrastructure that are carefully tuned for performance. Powerful visualization technologies along with effective user interfaces are also essential to make data mining tools appealing to researchers, analysts, and application developers from different disciplines. The SDM conference provides a venue for researchers who are addressing these problems to present their work in a peer-reviewed forum. It also provides an ideal setting for graduate students and others new to the field to learn about cutting-edge research by hearing outstanding invited speakers and attending presentations and tutorials (included with conference registration). A set of focused workshops is also held on the last day of the conference. The proceedings of the conference are published in archival form, and are also made available on the SIAM web site.

Conference Venue The venue will be the Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel in Flushing, New York City. New York City is an international tourist destination, receiving 56 million tourists in 2014 alone. Several sources have ranked New York the most photographed city in the world. Times square, known as the city's heart, is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theatre district. The Statue of Liberty greets new arrivals to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early 20th century, and is a globally recognized symbol of the United States. Flush- ing is associated by many with the National Tennis Centre, since Flushing Meadows has been the home of the US Open Grand Slam tennis tournament every year since 1978. New York is the most populous city in the United States and one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. Situated in one of the world's largest natural harbours, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The conference hotel is situated in the Queens borough, just a two-minute walk from the Flushing-Main Street rail station. Direct train lines take you directly from there to Times Square in just over 45 minutes, which is fast for New York City. The Museum of Modern Art can be reached in under 40 mins, Grand Central Terminal in 40 mins, the Empire State Building under 50 mins, and The High Line Park in 50 minutes. The hotel is also close to LaGuardia Airports and JFK. LaGuardia is just 3 miles away and the hotel offers a complementary shuttle service. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 10 miles away and can be reached within 30 minutes by taxi. The hotel is situated in a vibrant Asian district that offers a variety of Eastern cuisine, as well as many stores and shops. Sponsor The conference is sponsored by the Association for Logic Programming (ALP). Financial Assistance The Association for Logic Programming has funds to assist financially disad- vantaged participants and, especially, students to enable them to attend the conference. Inquiries should be made to the general chairs.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned 5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. IUI 2017 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Workshops will be held on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions of full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the conference topics. We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshops, including but not limited to: · "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper submission and review processes. · "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter review process (e.g. based on abstracts only). · "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to ask participants to submit a position statement. · "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an existing large scale (e.g. EU funded) project. · "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hack-a-thons around selected topics with individual or team participation. Proposal Format Note: The key to a successful workshop submission is to CONTACT THE CHAIRS WITH YOUR IDEAS (workshop2017 at iui.acm.org), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal! Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the formatting instructions from SIGCHI Paper Format, http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWZpaG0ub3JnICwJCQlldmVudEBpbi50dS1jbGF1c3RoYWwuZGUJMjJuZCBBQ00gSW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbCBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMTcpOiBGb3VydGggQ2FsbCBmb3IgV29ya3Nob3AgUHJvcG9zYWxzCTU1CUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sigchi.org%2Fpublications%2Fchipubform . Please submit your proposal by e-mail to the workshop chairs at workshop2017 at iui.acm.org. The proposals should be organized as follows: · Name and title: A one-word workshop acronym and a full title. · Description of workshop topic and goal: This description should discuss the relevance of the suggested topic to IUI and its interest for the IUI 2017 audience. Include a brief discussion of why and for which audience the workshop is of particular interest. · Organizers: Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the workshop organizers. This can be a single person or a group of people. Strong proposals normally include organizers who bring differing perspectives on the topic and are actively connected to the communities of potential participants. Please indicate the primary contact person and the organizers who plan to attend the workshop. · Previous history: List of previous workshops that were held on the topic including the conferences that hosted past workshops and the number of participants. Also please provide the list of other workshops organized by workshop organizers in the past. · Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members of the workshop program committee that will evaluate the workshop submissions. · Participants: A statement saying how many participants you expect and how you plan to invite participants for the workshop. We recommend the proposal to include the names of at least 10 people who have expressed interest to participate in the workshop. · Workshop format: A brief description of the workshop format regarding the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, demonstrations, and general discussion. · Length: Full-day or half-day. · Proposal format: Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the formatting instructions from SIGCHI: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWZpaG0ub3JnICwJCQlldmVudEBpbi50dS1jbGF1c3RoYWwuZGUJMjJuZCBBQ00gSW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbCBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMTcpOiBGb3VydGggQ2FsbCBmb3IgV29ya3Nob3AgUHJvcG9zYWxzCTU1CUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sigchi.org%2Fpublications%2Fchipubform . Additional Guidelines · Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chairs and the IUI 2017 program committee chairs. · Organizers: We strongly encourage the workshop organizers to attend IUI and take part in their workshop. This can make the workshops more appealing for the participants and strengthen the discussion part. · Workshop summary: An extended abstract (max. 3 pages) with a summary of the workshop goals and an overview of the workshop topics will be included in the ACM Digital Library for IUI 2017. · Workshop proceedings: At the convenience of the workshop organizers, we will arrange a joint volume of online proceedings for the workshop papers. Workshops should request the authors to submit papers in the ACM SIGCHI Paper Format. · Cancellation: Workshops with fewer than 10 submissions by December 23, 2016 may be cancelled. This will be done in consultation between the workshop chairs of IUI 2017 and the workshop organizers. Additionally, we strongly encourage to have workshop organizers from different institutions and research communities, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative structure that attracts various types of contributions and ensures rich interactions. The organizers of accepted workshops 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. Workshop organizers will maintain their own web site with updated information about the workshop and the IUI 2017 web site will refer to the workshop site. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper sollicitation, collection, and review process, and coordinate the production of the joint online proceedings with IUI 2017 workshop chairs.
