Second CfP - Human Work Interaction Design 2026 (HWID 2026)

by Elodie Bouzekri

--------------------------------- CfP - Human Work Interaction Design 2026 (HWID 2026) Harmonisation of human and machine intelligence in the 5th Industrial Revolution (5IR) Workplace June 17-18, 2026 University of West London, St. Mary’s Road, London (United Kingdom) https:/wg6.ifip-tc13.org/human-work-interaction-design-2026-hwid-2026 8th Working Conference of the IFIP WG 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design --------------------------------- Technologies in work settings are increasingly underpinned by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This means that applications and platforms such as those in the Metaverse, Digital Twin (DT) systems, and Industry 4.0 and 5.0 are becoming increasingly autonomous and intelligent. While these developments promise efficiency and innovation, they also present risks of over-reliance on technology and a potential abdication of human agency in the workplace. Such reliance may lead workers to underestimate their own cognitive and creative capabilities and to privilege machine intelligence over human skills. Rather than automating tasks and relegating workers to supervisory or backup roles, augmentation seeks to enable meaningful cooperation between humans and machines. Although this concept has been well studied in terms of efficacy and efficiency, further efforts in Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) research are required to support well-being, trust, and transparency; to ensure human autonomy and governance within human–machine teams; and to respect human values. Industry 5.0 builds on the technological foundations of Industry 4.0 by shifting the focus from productivity and efficiency toward human well-being and sustainability. In this context, the harmonisation of human and machine intelligence requires the ability to measure, analyse, and apply affective and contextual data about workers and workplace environments in order to design, integrate, and optimise work experiences. This conference, therefore, calls for inclusive and interdisciplinary approaches to unpacking Industry 5.0 and re-conceptualising work augmentation in AI-driven environments. We particularly encourage the integration of perspectives from the social sciences, arts, design, and humanities into the design and governance of intelligent work systems. This call seeks contributions that explore the augmentation of human cognition in line with human values through research of new frameworks, models, approaches, and case studies for Industry 5.0. The Fifth Industrial Revolution (5IR) focuses on harmonising human ability and well-being, while simultaneously ensuring human beings can make effective use of 5IR technologies in the workplace. This edition of the HWID working conference aims to attract submissions from professionals in academia, national labs, and industry, as well as from students. The event will provide a platform to discuss tools, procedures, and professional competencies essential for harmonizing human and machine intelligence, central to Industry 5.0. KEYNOTE SPEAKER HWID2026 is a two-day working conference that focuses on discussion and exchange of ideas. During this edition, HWID2026 is pleased to welcome Professor Karen Cham, Director of the Behavioural Research Analytics in Neurotechnological Systems (BRAINS) Lab at Kingston University, expert in Augmented Intelligence, Digital Transformation & Design, as a keynote speaker. TOPICS - Human-centred UI design with and of 5IR technologies in the workplace - Human-AI interaction and collaboration - Sociotechnical Theory and Methods for 5IR - Collaborative systems design for Industry 5.0 - Human Digital Twins in the future of work - Behavioral analytics and data modelling - Safety and well-being of workers in the workplace (e.g., trust and training) - Ethics, policy, and law in 5IR - Case studies and implications of 5IR technologies (e.g., discretionary effort, job satisfaction) - Education and coaching to afford harmonisation of human and 5IR technologies in the workplace - Human and social sciences, creative arts, and design - Digital readiness for Industry 5.0 technologies in workplaces. - Design for occupational well-being in the 5IR IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: February 8, 2026 Notification to authors: March 6, 2026 Camera ready: March 27, 2026 Conference: June 17-18, 2026 SUBMISSIONS We invite authors to submit full papers (minimum 6 pages, maximum 12 pages, excluding references) formatted according to the LNCS template available on the Springer website: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… The link to the submission system: https://meteor.springer.com/HWID2026 Each paper will be reviewed by three reviewers (single-blind).

37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2026): First Call for Replications and Negative Results

by Announce

*** First Call for Replication and Negative Results *** 37th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2026) October 20-23, 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/issre2026/ The Replications and Negative Results (RENE) Track has been introduced in the software engineering community for a while and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. This year, we establish this track at ISSRE and invite researchers to (1) replicate results from previous papers and (2) publish studies with important and relevant negative or null results (results that fail to show an effect, yet demonstrate the research paths that did not pay off). We also encourage the publication of the negative results or replicable aspects of previously published work. For example, authors of a published paper reporting a working solution for a given problem can document in a “negative results paper” other (failed) attempts they made before defining the working solution they published. • Replication studies. The papers in this category must go beyond simply re- implementing an algorithm and/or re-running the artifacts provided by the original paper. Such submissions should at least apply the approach to new data sets (open-source or proprietary). A replication study should clearly report on results that the authors were able to replicate, as well as on the aspects of the work that were not replicable. • Negative results papers. We seek papers that report on negative results. We seek negative results for all types of program comprehension research in any empirical area (qualitative, quantitative, case study, experiment, etc.). For example, did your controlled experiment not show an improvement over the baseline? Even if negative, results obtained are still valuable when they are either not obvious or disprove widely accepted wisdom. Evaluation Criteria Both Replication Studies and Negative Results submissions will be evaluated according to the following standards: • Depth and breadth of the empirical studies • Clarity of writing • Appropriateness of conclusions • Amount of useful, actionable insights • Availability of artifacts • Underlying methodological rigor. A negative result due primarily to misaligned expectations or due to lack of statistical power (small samples) is not a good submission. The negative result should be a result of a lack of effect, not a lack of methodological rigor. Most importantly, we expect replication studies to clearly point out the artifacts upon which the study is built, and to provide the links to all the artifacts in the submission (the only exception will be given to those papers that replicate the results on proprietary datasets that can not be publicly released). Submission Instructions Submissions must be original, in the sense that the findings and writing have not been previously published or under consideration elsewhere. However, as either replication studies or negative results, some overlap with previous work is expected. Please make clear in the paper the overlap with and difference from previous work. All submissions must be in PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Computer Society Format Guidelines: (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates). Authors are strongly encouraged to print the PDF and review it for integrity (fonts, symbols, equations, etc.) before submission, as defective printing can undermine a paper’s chance of success. By submitting to the ISSRE RENE Track, authors acknowledge that they are aware of and agree to be bound by the IEEE Plagiarism FAQ. In particular, papers submitted to the RENE track must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere whilst under consideration for ISSRE 2026. Contravention of this concurrent submission policy will be deemed a serious breach of scientific ethics, and appropriate action will be taken in all such cases. To check for double submission and plagiarism issues, the chairs reserve the right to (1) share the list of submissions with the PC Chairs of other conferences with overlapping review periods and (2) use external plagiarism detection software, under contract to the IEEE, to detect violations of these policies. Submissions to the RENE Track can be made via the ISSRE RENE track submission site： https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=issre2026 . Submission Length: The ISSRE RENE Track accepts submissions of two lengths: (1) New replication studies and new descriptions of negative results should have a length of up to 10 pages, plus 2 pages which may only contain references. (2) Negative results documented during the preparation of previously published work by the authors should be described in up to 5 pages, plus 1 page, which may only contain references (e.g., as previously mentioned, authors of a published paper can document negative results they obtained while working on it, such as methodologically sound solutions that did not work). Important note 1: Both types of papers (replication and negative results) will be included as part of the main conference proceedings. Important note 2: The RENE track does not follow a double-anonymous review process. Publication and Presentation Upon notification of acceptance, all authors of accepted papers will receive further instructions for preparing the camera-ready versions of their submissions. If a submission is accepted, at least one author of the paper is required to have a full registration for ISSRE 2026, attend the conference, and present the paper in person. All accepted papers will be published in the conference electronic proceedings. The presentation is expected to be delivered in person, unless this is impossible due to travel limitations (e.g., related to health or visa). Details about the presentations will follow the notifications. The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the IEEE Digital Libraries. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. Purchases of additional pages in the proceedings are not allowed. Important Dates (AoE) • Submission deadline: July 5, 2026 • Notification of acceptance: August12 29, 2026 • Camera-ready copy submission: August 19, 2026 • Author registration deadline: August 19, 2026 Organisation General Chairs • Leonardo Mariani, University of Milano - Bicocca, Italy • George A.

ACM ICMI 2026: Call for Papers

by Gualtiero Volpe

ICMI 2026 CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================ 5-9 October 2026, Napoli - Italy https://icmi.acm.org/2026/ ============================================ The 28th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026) will be held in Napoli, Italy. ICMI is the premier international forum for advancing research at the intersection of multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) and social interaction to create technically innovative, effective, and human-centered multimodal interactive systems. A unique aspect of ICMI is its multidisciplinary nature, bringing together research in AI, multimodal data processing, human-machine, and human-human interaction to bridge behavioral understanding with technology, with an eye towards impactful applications that benefit people and society. Novelty will be evaluated along two dimensions: scientific novelty and technical novelty. Accepted papers at ICMI 2026 must demonstrate novelty in at least one of these two dimensions. The theme of this year's conference is "Context and Cultural Awareness for Multimodal Interaction", to explore how context and cultural factors influence multimodal interaction systems, including their design, implementation, and evaluation. We welcome papers that address the integration of contextual understanding, such as environmental, social, and emotional factors, into multimodal interaction systems. We also encourage contributions that explore cultural considerations in the development and deployment of interactive technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Affective computing and interaction * User-adaptive systems * Cognitive modelling and multimodal interaction * Context-aware modelling * Cross-cultural design and evaluation * Gesture, touch, and haptics * Healthcare, assistive technologies * Human communication dynamics * Human-robot/agent multimodal interaction * Human-centred AI and ethics * Interaction with a smart environment * Machine learning for multimodal interaction * Mobile and wearable multimodal systems * Multimodal behaviour generation * Multimodal datasets and validation * Multimodal dialogue modeling * Multimodal fusion and representation * Multimodal interactive applications * Novel multimodal datasets * Spoken/visual behaviours in social interaction * System components and multimodal platforms * Virtual/augmented reality and multimodal interaction Commitment to ethical conduct is mandatory, and submissions must adhere to ethical standards, in particular when human-derived data are employed. Authors are encouraged to consult the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (https://ethics.acm.org/). *** Important Dates Abstract deadline April 13, 2026 Paper Submission April 20, 2026 Rebuttal Period June 1, 2026 Paper notification July 6, 2026 Camera-ready paper July 23, 2026 Presenting at the main conference October 6-8, 2026 *** ACM Publication Policies ACM's New Open Access Publishing Model. Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%). Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM. Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer: * $250 APC for ACM/SIG members * $350 for non-members This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period. This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026, including ICMI.

The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2026): Last Combo Call for Workshop Papers

by Announce

*** Last Combo Call for Workshop Papers *** The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2026) May 25-29, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/ AAMAS 2026 received 1455 full paper submissions for the Main Track, after an initial submission of 1800 abstracts. This is by far the highest number of submissions (around 50% more than the previous highest number) in the 25 years of AAMAS. The conference will feature the following workshops with open calls for submission. Please visit the workshops' websites and/or contact their organisers for more details and important dates. 2nd Workshop on AI for Critical Infrastructure and Government (AI4CNI-26) https://sites.google.com/view/ai4cni-26/ Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) forms the backbone of modern society, yet its increasing complexity requires increasingly autonomous operation and makes it vulnerable to cascading failures and cyber-physical threats. The AI4CNI workshop explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and defense of vital services like energy, transportation, communication networks and healthcare. 18th International Workshop on Adaptive and Learning Agents (ALA) https://alaworkshop2026.github.io/ Adaptive and Learning Agents (ALA) brings together researchers working on learning, adaptation, and autonomous behaviour in single- and multi-agent systems. The workshop welcomes contributions from across computer science (including reinforcement learning, agent architectures, evolutionary computation, planning, and game theory) as as well as from related fields such as cognitive science, biology, economics, and the social sciences. Autonomous Robots and Multirobot Systems (ARMS) https://arms2026.di.unimi.it/ Robots are agents, too. Indeed, agents researchers often use robotics problems as motivating examples. Both practical and analytical techniques developed by agents researchers influence, and are influenced by, research in autonomous robots and multi- robot systems. Despite the overlap between the agents and robotics research areas, researchers from these communities only have a few opportunities to meet and interact. The Robotics Area of Interest in the main AAMAS conference (formerly, the “Robotics Track”) is one such opportunity. The goal of this workshop is to build on this opportunity, offering an informal and dedicated forum where agents and robotics researchers can interact, discuss promising research directions and open problems, and foster further collaborations. Contributions are sought in all areas of robotics, in particular as related to autonomous agents research. Theoretical papers are welcome, as long as they clearly specify the connection to challenges in robotics. Empirical studies should ideally present experiments with real robots, though physical simulation studies are also acceptable. Papers that focus on mechanical aspects and low-level control should make an effort to relate this work to the agents community. 7th International Workshop on Agents for Societal Impact (ASI) https://panosd.eu/asi2026/ This workshop focuses on the design, analysis, and deployment of intelligent agents that contribute positively to society. As AI agents become increasingly autonomous and embedded in real-world systems, it is critical to ensure that their behavior aligns with human values and societal goals, rather than optimizing narrowly defined technical objectives. The workshop provides a forum to discuss how agent-based technologies can be responsibly applied to real-world societal systems, including (but not limited to): healthcare, education, climate, sustainability, conservation, public infrastructure, labor markets, governance and policy design, etc. The goal is to identify new MAS problems in societies, develop novel MAS solutions to resolve social challenges, and learn from the real-world deployment of MAS. 14th International Workshop on Agents in Traffic and Transportation (ATT 2026) https://sites.google.com/unimib.it/att2026/ The ATT 2026 workshop focuses on AI-driven modeling, simulation, control, and management of large-scale traffic and transportation systems. It addresses the challenges of distributed, autonomous, and data-rich mobility systems operating under uncertainty and societal constraints. The workshop invites contributions on multi-agent systems, machine learning, optimization, control, and data-centric AI approaches. Topics include autonomous and connected vehicles, intelligent traffic control, digital twins, shared mobility, and multi-modal transportation. Both theoretical advances and real-world applications enabling safe, robust, and scalable intelligent transportation are welcomed. Citizen-Centric Multi Agent Systems 2026 (C-MAS 2026) https://sites.google.com/view/cmas2026 Join us for the C-MAS 2026 workshop, where we explore citizen-centric AI and multiagent systems. In today’s world, large-scale AI systems hold the potential to tackle critical societal challenges, from decarbonising our energy system to facilitating on-demand mobility and improving disaster response. However, we often overlook the active role of citizen end users, treating them merely as data providers and service consumers. Our workshop aims to shift this perspective and explore innovative approaches that treat citizen end users as primary agents with diverse needs and preferences. By doing so, we can develop more trustworthy, fair, and widely accepted sociotechnical solutions to pressing societal challenges. 11th Workshop on Collaboration of Humans, Agents, Robots, Machines and Sensors (CHARMS 2026) https://charms2026.github.io/ Cyber physical systems (CPS) are becoming more involved in the lives of humans. All indications point to a future where many varieties of CPS and humans co-exist and, at a minimum, must interact consistently through life’s tasks. This workshop will explore ideas of the future to understand, discern and develop the relationship between humans and CPS and the practical nature of software agents to facilitate the integration. Causal Learning and Reasoning in Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (CLaRAMAS) https://claramas-workshop.github.io/claramas2026/ CLaRAMAS aims to foster cross-disciplinary exchange and synergistic collaboration between two complementary communities: the AAMAS community and the Causal Learning and Reasoning (CLR) community. The overarching goal is to bridge these domains by exploring the following open questions: How CLR techniques can enhance agent-based decision-making? How agent-oriented perspectives can leverage the operational deployment of CLR in real-world applications? Coordination, Organizations, Institutions, Norms and Ethics for Governance of Multi- Agent Systems (COINE) https://coin-workshop.github.io/coine-2026-paphos/ This workshop is an evolution of the COIN (Coordination, Organizations, Institutions and Norms in Agent Systems) workshop series that ran at various conferences including AAMAS (18 times), IJCAI (twice), AAAI in 2008 and ECAI in 2006 and 2016, and produced 17 volumes of post-proceedings in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence. The 18th volume of COINE post-proceedings is in progress. In 2020, ethics was added to the name and acronym (now COINE), and also the notion of governance of MAS was added to the full workshop title as this is the common objective uniting the various threads of research (coordination, organizations, etc.) undertaken. The workshop in the new format has been held six times (2020–2025). 14th International Workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS 2026) https://w3id.org/emas/2026/ EMAS 2026 builds on the long-standing tradition of the Workshop on Engineering Multi- Agent Systems, advancing the design, implementation, and deployment of autonomous agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) through research on theories, architectures, languages, platforms, and methodologies. To engage with emerging augmented language models and agentic systems and build on decades of established MAS engineering approaches, this 14th edition focuses on Hybrid Agent Architectures and Multi-Agent Systems. We invite contributions covering the diversity of approaches to engineering agents and MAS: submissions may focus on established or emerging approaches, as well as hybrid approaches that integrate the two, exploring, among others, questions such as how elements from different agent architectures can be combined to create more capable agents, and how MAS can be designed to ensure interoperability, coordination, and governance among heterogeneous agents. 8th International Workshop on EXplainable, Trustworthy, & Responsible AI & Multi‑Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS 2026) https://extraamas.ehealth.hevs.ch/index.html The International Workshop on EXplainable, Trustworthy, and Responsible AI and Multi- Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS) runs since 2019, and is a well-established workshop and forum. It aims to discuss and disseminate research on explainable artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on intra/inter-agent(ic) explainability and cross-disciplinary perspectives. In its 8th edition, EXTRAAMAS 2026 identifies four particular focus topics with the ultimate goal of strengthening cutting-edge foundational and applied research. The 8th Games, Agents, and Incentives Workshop (GAIW-26) https://gtep-workshops.github.io/gaiw2026/ Games, Agents and Incentives is a confederated workshop which focuses on agents and incentives in AI. In particular, it promotes approaches that deal with game theory (cooperative and non-cooperative), social choice, and agent-mediated e-commerce aspects of AI systems. The confederated workshop merges multiple workshops that have been associated with AAMAS in the past, which considered different aspects of the general interplay between AI and economics including CoopMAS, AMEC, and EXPLORE. 27th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation (MABS 2026) https://mabsworkshop.github.io/ MABS focuses on the confluence of social sciences and multi-agent systems, with a strong application/empirical vein, and it emphasizes, (i) exploratory agent-based simulation as a principled way of undertaking scientific research in the social sciences and (ii) using social theories as an inspiration for new frameworks and developments in multi-agent systems. MABS 2026 continues its tradition of fostering cross-fertilisation and innovation in MAS engineering and complex social and sociotechnical systems modeling. The workshop encourages submissions in areas such as simulation methodology and tools, simulation of social and intelligent behaviour, diverse applications, and simulation analytics. International Workshop on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems for Space Applications (MASSpace) https://mas-space.github.io/aamas2026ws/ This workshop aims at disseminating and sharing recent advances in the use of agent- based and multi-agent-based models and techniques in the Space domain. Indeed, the use of agent-based and multi-agent systems (MAS) in aerospace and space is gaining traction, as they offer a promising approach for modeling and solving distributed, complex and dynamic problems. Sample applications notably include multiple spacecraft operations and maintenance, onboard-ground coordination, mission simulation, multi- mission operation, autonomous navigation, and collective robotics. NEurosymbolic eXplainable trUstworthy Systems (NEXUS) https://nexus.telecom-paris.fr/ The opacity of current deep learning models is a major barrier to adoption where accountability is essential. NEXUS focuses on neurosymbolic reasoning as a foundational approach to building theory, applications, and tools for well-calibrated and trustworthy autonomy. This paradigm moves beyond a narrow focus on formal logic, concerning itself with the integration of deep and reinforcement learning algorithms with a broad spectrum of structured knowledge. Workshop on Optimization and Learning in Multi-Agent Systems (OptLearnMAS) https://optlearnmas.github.io The goal of the workshop is to provide researchers with a venue to discuss models or techniques for tackling a variety of multi-agent optimization problems. We seek contributions in the general area of multi-agent optimization, including distributed optimization, coalition formation, optimization under uncertainty, winner determination algorithms in auctions and procurements, and algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games. Of particular emphasis are contributions at the intersection of optimization and learning. This workshop invites works from different strands of the multi-agent systems community that pertain to the design of algorithms, models, and techniques to deal with multi-agent optimization and learning problems or problems that can be effectively solved by adopting a multi-agent framework. Rebellion and Disobedience in Artificial Intelligence (RaD-AI) https://sites.google.com/view/rad-ai/home Should intelligent autonomous agents always obey human commands or instructions? In some contexts, they should not. Most existing research on collaborative robots and agents assumes that a “good” agent complies with the instructions it is given and works in a predictable manner under the consent of the human operator(s) it serves (e.g., it should never deceive its operator). Our RaD-AI workshop challenges this assumption; we will reconsider the desired abilities and responsibilities of collaborative agents. For example, these include exhibiting behavior that attempts appropriate and harm-preventing non- compliance (e.g., safety constraints in autonomous vehicles or training LLMs to avoid potentially harmful or norm-violating output), among others. Our agenda will include accepted submissions that describe novel (and/or survey existing) contributions, or propose new directions, related to RaD-AI in the context of intelligent social agents, human-agent interaction, and their societal effects, along with invited talks and other events. We warmly welcome participation from AAMAS-26 conference attendees! Strategic Engineering Workshop (SE) https://sites.google.com/view/se-aamas2026 Real-world interactions are messy; Game Theory is rigorous. Historically, connecting the two required expensive manual modeling. “Strategic Engineering” seeks to automate this pipeline. We ask: How can LLMs serve as architects, translating everyday scenarios into the formal structures that Game Theory (GT) and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) require? If we can automate the creation of the “world model”, we can unlock the full power of classical GT/ MAS reasoning for any situation. We invite submissions that fuse the generative capabilities of LLMs with the reasoning power of GT/MAS, creating a new class of agents capable of navigating complex, strategic environments.
