Uist

UIST, or the ACM SIGCHI Conference on User Interface Software and Technology, is a leading annual conference in the field of human-computer interaction. It is organized under ACM's Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction and is widely regarded as one of the premier venues for presenting innovative research in user interfaces, interactive systems, and related software. The conference brings together researchers and practitioners to share new techniques, tools, and experiments that advance how people interact with digital technology.

Scope includes input and output technologies such as touch, pen, gesture, speech, and haptics; software frameworks and toolkits; programming environments for interactive systems; visualization and graphics relevant to interfaces; augmented and virtual reality; mobile and ubiquitous computing; as well as evaluation methods for usability and user experience.

Publications are peer-reviewed and published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the ACM conference proceedings. In addition to technical papers, UIST features demonstrations, posters, tutorials, and occasional workshops or invited talks, providing a forum for presenting working prototypes and exploratory research.

Since its inception in the late 1980s, UIST has served as a platform for both foundational ideas and practical systems, contributing to advances in multi-touch, pen-based interaction, tangible user interfaces, and other forms of interactive computing.

Organization: The conference is held annually at different venues worldwide, with a program committee and a steering committee guiding submissions, reviews, and the overall program.
