at the Seventh Mathematical Knowledge Management Conference
University of Birmingham, UK, July 27th 2008

See the web-page at http://www.activemath.org/workshops/MathUI/08/

SCOPE
Building on the success and interest of its predecessors, the MathUI workshop aims at bringing together researchers to share about the mathematical facets of user-interfaces.

The explosion of remote communication tools, both discussion or publication oriented, has shown that computers are rich enough to carry most messages. Mathematical communication has not been at rest with the many standards and tools around. User-interfaces that encompass these communications are most diverse but their user-side is crucial for the communication to happen well. The MathUI workshop proposes a place of exchange and presentation for investigations in mathematical user-interfaces, including:

- presentation and manipulations mathematical knowledge
- workflows induced by mathematical knowledge representations
- interactions in the communication of mathematical content
- user studies with MKM tools or other mathematical interfaces
- novel, original or downright funky interfaces to mathematics software
- interactive mathematics

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 HTML or PDF  format, which may include other electronic presentations such as videos or animations complemented by an abstract of less than 150 words.

DATES:
Either submit a paper by email until May 31st 2007,
or submit an abstract on May 20th 2007 and a paper on June 7th.
Expect an answer on June 25th 2007.
Enjoy the workshop on July 27th

ON THE DAY
We will have a mix of talks and demos followed by a demonstration  session when we will get a chance to look and interact more closely  with people's work.
