Call for Papers: MathUI'14 ---------------------------------------- 9th Mathematical User Interfaces Workshop 2014 ---------------------------------------- At the Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics Coimbra, Portugal, July 10th, 2014 ------------------------------ please redistribute SCOPE MathUI is an international workshop to discuss how users interact with mathematics represented on a computer. - Did users of your software have the a-ha moment after exploring mathematical objects? - Did you meet a team of people that exchanged math electronically as easily as talking together on a blackboard? - Is it as easy to search for mathematics facts as to search for a history date? - Have mathematics learning resources a special flavor that make them less easy to re-use? We invite all questions, that care for the use of mathematics on computers and how the user experience can be improved, to be discussed in the workshop. Topics include: - user-requirements for math interfaces - presentation formats - mobile-devices powered mathematics - cultural differences in practices of mathematical languages - didactically sensible scenarios of use - spreadsheets as mathematical interfaces - manipulations of mathematical expressions This workshop follows a successful series of workshops held at the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics since 10 years; it features presentations of brand new ideas in papers selected by a review process, wide space for discussions, as well as a software demonstration session. SUBMISSIONS The organizers invite authors to submit contributions of 6 to 12 pages on the workshop-related topics in PDF format optionally illustrated by supplementary media such as video recordings or access to demos. Deadline for submissions: May 22nd 2014. Method of submission: please login and submit via EasyChair. The submissions will be reviewed by the international programme committee whose comments and recommendations will be sent back by June 6th requesting a final version no later than June 16th. Moreover, MathUI will be concluded by an expo-like demonstration session. Proposed demonstrations should be sent by email until June 20th, containing a URL to a software description, a title, a short abstract of the demonstrated features, and the indication of hardware expectations (own/lent laptop/tablet, internet access (speed?), power, ...). After a short elevator pitch, the demonstration session will run for 1-3h, each demonstrating to interested parties.
