             Mathematical User Interfaces Workshop 2009
              ----------------------------------------
      at the MKM conference, July 6th, Grand Bend Ontario Canada
           http://www.activemath.org/workshops/MathUI/09/ 

  SCOPE
       
  The 5th mathematical user-interfaces workshop is a forum to discuss,
  demo, present, brainstorm, and review all the math-specific facets of
  user-interfaces.
  
  It happens in the form of a peer-reviewed workshop with presentations
  and discussion, followed by an expo-like demo-session.
  
  Programs for computerized mathematics are evolving rapidly and are
  being used by a wider audience than ever before. Researchers are
  aiming to provide well-designed and widely-applicable user interfaces
  for this diverse audience. Among the questions lies the hypothesis
  that unified mathematical language is used with all systems. Can we
  achieve this?
  
  This workshop provides a forum for the discussion of computer
  representations of mathematics, and how gestures, writing, speech, or
  other novel techniques can be used to improve mathematical user
  interfaces.
  
  Topics include:
  - presentations on manipulation of mathematical knowledge
  - workflow studies based on mathematical applications
  - user studies on the effectiveness of interfaces
  - interactive teaching and testing
  - novel, original or downright funky interfaces to mathematics software
  - interactive mathematics generally
  

  
  SUBMISSIONS
  
  We are seeking submissions of either papers on and/or demonstrations
  of user interfaces for mathematics. Videos, prototypes, mock ups and
  any other sort of demonstration are welcome!
  Proceedings will be online.
  
  Submission format: article of 3-8 (printed) pages, in PDF format only,
  which may include other electronic presentations such as videos or
  animations complemented by an abstract of less than 150 words.
  
  Important Dates:
  
  - Either submit your abstract on until May 1st 2009 and a paper on May 15th,
    or submit a paper on May 8th 2009
  - Be prepared for a rebuttal phase from May 25th till 30th
  - Expect an answer on June 2nd 2009
  - Enjoy the workshop on July 6th 2009
  All submissions are done on MathUI's easychair.
