For Authors
Welcome to Auto-UI‘19
AutomotiveUI, the International ACM Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, is the premier forum for UI research in the automotive domain. The conference brings together over 200 researchers and practitioners interested in both the technical and the human aspects of in-vehicle user interfaces and applications. Consistent with prior conferences, AutomotiveUI’19 will address novel in-vehicle services, models of and concepts for enhancing the driver experience, driver performance and behavior, development of (semi-) autonomous driving, and the needs of different user groups.
AutomotiveUI’19 invites you to submit original work in one or more of the following formats: papers, workshops & tutorials, works in progress and interactive demos, video sessions, and doctoral colloquium.

Message from the AutomotiveUI Program Chairs
Accepted Papers may come from any area of AutomotiveUI activity.
To aid the review process, authors are requested to indicate ype of research contribution that the submission makes. This information will be used to find the most appropriate meta-reviewers / ACs (Associate Chairs).
This year, we offer the following four categories for submission:
- Research Methods & Simulation
- Design & User Experience
- Software and technology
- User Studies & Human Factors
The submission categories will help authors to receive reviews from experts in their area of research contribution. It will diversify the types of papers published and recognized at Auto-UI. Acceptance is highly competitive: regardless of area, all accepted papers will score highly on innovation, contribution, and quality of thought and writing. Submit your best work!

Submission Types
Paper
AutomotiveUI Papers are archival publications of original research. Authors are invited to submit papers (6-10 pages) formatted in accordance with the two-column ACM SIGCHI format, with a 150-word abstract (references do not count towards the page limit). Submissions will be accepted through the Precision Conference Submission system. Authors are encouraged to submit an accompanying video. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings which will be archived in the ACM digital library. The work will be presented at the conference as a talk. Details about this submission category can be found at www.auto-ui.org/19/authors/papers

Work in Progress
A Work-in-Progress is a concise 4-page report of late-breaking findings or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work relevant for the AutomotiveUI community. The work will be presented in the poster format. All accepted WIP submissions will be available in the ACM digital library. Submission details will be published at www.auto-ui.org/19/authors/work-in-progress

Workshops & Tutorials
Workshops address some topic of common interest to a subset of those attending the AutomotiveUI conference. Tutorials teach specific materials either by one person or several people. Submission details will be published at www.auto-ui.org/19/authors/workshops-tutorials

Doctoral Colloquium
The Doctoral Colloquium brings together PhD students working on topics related to the AutomotiveUI conference, providing them with an opportunity to present and discuss their proposed dissertations with peers and senior faculty. It will further provide opportunities for PhD students to network and facilitate professional development by sharing research interests. Submission details can be found at www.auto-ui.org/19/authors/dc

Interactive Demos
Interactive Demos are presentations/demonstrations that highlight and foster discussion of current research and development in the area of automotive user interfaces and interactive vehicular applications. We encourage submissions from both the industry and the academia. For Interactive Demos, bring and/or present prototypes, services, devices, and systems for hands-on interaction. All accepted Demo submissions will be available in the ACM digital library. Submission details will be published at auto-ui.org/19/authors/interactive-demos

Videos
Video submissions are short presentations that showcase examples best communicated in this format. They feature for example the presentation of research systems, visions of the future, humorous parodies or thoughtful critiques of AutomotiveUI, and reports on ethnographic work or user studies.
Submissions should contain a video and an extended abstract that further motivates the category. Submission details can be found at www.auto-ui.org/19/videos
