  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 22th 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 10th requesting a final version no later than June 20th.

  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.
