Chair’s Welcome
Welcome to the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology(UIST), held from October 14th to October 17th, 2018, in Berlin, Germany.
UIST is the premier forum for presenting innovative research on software and technology forhuman-computer interfaces. Sponsored by ACM's special interest groups on computer-humaninteraction (SIGCHI) and computer graphics (SIGGRAPH), UIST brings together researchers andpractitioners from diverse areas, including graphical & web user interfaces, tangible &ubiquitous computing, virtual & augmented reality, multimedia, new input & output devices,fabrication, wearable computing, and computer-supported collaborative work.
UIST 2018 received 375 technical paper submissions. After a thorough review process, theprogram committee accepted 80 papers (21.3%). Each anonymous submission that entered thefull review process was first reviewed by three external reviewers, and a meta-review wasprovided by a program committee member. If, after these four reviews, the submission wasdeemed to pass a rebuttal threshold, a second member of the program committee provided an
additional review. We then asked the authors to submit a rebuttal addressing the reviewers'
concerns. The program committee met in person at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA, USA
on June 22nd and 23rd, 2018, to select the papers to invite for the program. After acceptance,
authors provided a final revision addressing the committee's comments. Three papers wererecognized by the reviewers and the program committee as Best Paper and four received
Honorable Mention.
In addition to papers, our program includes 44 posters, 25 demonstrations, and 8 student
presentations in the thirteenth annual Doctoral Symposium. Our program also features theninth annual Student Innovation Contest. In this year's contest, we are partnering with
Makeblock to enable teams from all over the world push the boundaries of input and output
technology by creating novel human-robot interaction techniques.
The opening keynote will be given by Dr. Jaime Teevan from Microsoft and the closing keynote
will be given by Prof. Selma Šabanović from Indiana University. Both will highlight impactful andsometimes unexpected ways in which interactive technology can be used to shape our society.
Once again: Welcome to Berlin and to UIST 2018!

Keynotes: Dr. Jaime Teevan & Prof. Selma Šabanović

Jaime Teevan is Chief Scientist at the Experiences and Devices Group at Microsoft, prior to that
she was the Technical Advisor to Microsoft's CEO, where she is responsible for helping Satya
Nadella formulate technical strategy and developing in-depth solutions to specific technicalchallenges. Previously she was a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research AI, where she led
the Productivity team. Dr. Teevan has published hundreds of award-winning research papers,
technical articles, books, and patents, and given keynotes around the world. Her
groundbreaking research earned her the Technology Review TR35 Young Innovator, Borg Early
Career, Karen Spärck Jones, and SIGIR Test of Time awards. She holds a Ph.D. from MIT and a
B.S. from Yale, and is an affiliate professor at the University of Washington.
Selma Šabanović is an Associate Professor of Informatics and Cognitive Science at Indiana
University, Bloomington, where she founded and directs the R-House Human-Robot Interaction
Lab. Her research focuses on the design, use, and consequences of socially interactive andassistive robots in different social and cultural contexts, including healthcare institutions, user
homes, and various countries. She draws on theories and approaches from the social sciences
to design and implement intelligent interactive technologies in ways that provide measurable
benefits to users and their communities. She also explores values and ethics in robotics foreveryday use through collaborative design with diverse users, including older adults, clinicians,
and children.

Sightseeing (runs)

Berlin is not only a city of east and west, old and new and long history, it is also the city of thefastest marathon in the world. It is only a month ago that Eliud Kipchoge ran his spectacular
2:01:39 time at the 45th Berlin Marathon. In 2 hours he has seen most of touristy Berlin which
we recommend to any of you as well (green route). That said, most of us (including the author)
are more likely to run half a marathon in that time (blue route). This gets you through the key
sights while having some time to take pictures. Additionally, we have put some extra effort inmaking a 10k run (which obviously is a great walk on Saturday morning too) which we refer toas the UIST Sightseeing run (red route).
We recommend all of you to take out those running shoes and jump on board! To find otherrunners we made a Strava group: https://www.strava.com/clubs/uist-runners please join us!
