AI systems are deployed rapidly across domains of considerable social significance—in healthcare, education, employment, criminal justice, and many others—without appropriate safeguards or accountability structures in place. At the same time, there is a growing interest in using participatory approaches for the design, development, and evaluation of AI systems across industries, academia and the public sector. Researchers have started to explore different aspects of AI tools for co-creation in PD and different co-creation processes for the design of AI-based solutions. In this special issue, we aim to collect and share explorations with and about AI in PD to create a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities for co-designing future ethical, responsible, and explainable AI solutions. Early PD projects were motivated by the introduction of computer technologies into industrial workplaces, where they threatened to impoverish or take over jobs. Just like computers were a threat to work and workers in the 1970s and 80s, AI seems to be a threat to workers—and societies—today. This is an argument for using a PD approach aimed at understanding the technology and its potential for changing workplaces and work practices, as well as to open up for workers to have a say in choices concerning the technology during its design and use. We see two different combinations of AI and PD: a) the use of AI tools in PD for design inspiration or co-ideation, and b) using PD activities to collaboratively envision digital futures with AI. Can PD help to understand AI and its potential for changing our lives? Bratteteig and Verne argue that PD is well suited for users and designers working together to negotiate and mitigate the challenges AI poses to our digitalized societies. However, they argue that PD researchers need to navigate through three challenges: understanding AI technology, evaluating AI solutions, and distinguishing between “normal use” and training of AI services. Voinov and Bousquet propose participatory modeling as a purposeful learning process for action that engages the implicit and explicit knowledge of stakeholders to create formalized and shared representation(s) of reality. As a step towards broadening the discussion about AI and PD, our proposal seeks to extend a warm invitation to researchers and professionals worldwide who are exploring the intersection of PD and AI, including both aspects of mutual learning and co-designing. This special issue is also an extension of a workshop that took place at NORDICHI 2024. The purpose of this special issue, therefore, in addition to collecting contributions from those who participated in the workshop, is to broaden the discussion to include scholars and practitioners who are engaged in the discourse about AI and PD and who would like to contribute with and share their own visions. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: • Perspectives on co-designing future ethical, responsible, and explainable AI solutions. • Learning practices and strategies for understanding AI. • Challenges facing PD for designing AI solutions • Lessons learned from facilitated participatory activities AI tools. • Combinations of the above. =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers.

The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): Second Call for Papers

by Announce

*** Second Call for Papers *** The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026) March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/ The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the annual premier venue where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies, techniques, and systems. This area is crucial as AI is increasingly integrated into everyday technology. Understanding and shaping AI systems for human needs is essential to ensure that AI systems are effective and responsible. As these techniques become increasingly powerful, new use cases and human-AI interactions can be explored. This conference offers an opportunity to focus the research community on important problems at the intersection of AI and HCI and bring together experts from various disciplines to discuss and build on these ideas in workshops, breaks, and networking sessions. Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. Diverse insights are critical to the vitality of the IUI community, and the conference will accept papers for both long and short oral presentations. Contributions to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). Topics IUI 2026 topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Human-centered AI methods, approaches, and systems • Explainable AI methods • Democratization of AI • Persuasive technologies in IUI • Privacy and security of IUI • Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation • User modelling for intelligent interfaces • User-adaptive interaction and personalization • IUI for crowd computing and human computation • Human control in daily automations • Trust and reliance in intelligent systems Computational innovation • Interactive machine learning • Human-in-the loop AI testing and debugging • Human-centered recommendation and recommender systems • Generative models • Human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning • Intelligent user interfaces for generative AI Innovative User Interfaces • Affective interfaces • Intelligent aesthetic interfaces • Intelligent collaborative interfaces • Intelligent AR/VR interfaces • Intelligent visualization and visual analytics • Intelligent wearable and mobile interfaces • Intelligent tangible interfaces Intelligent Multimodal Systems • Embodied agents • Multimodal AI assistants • Intelligent multimodal interfaces Intelligent Applications • Education and learning-related technologies • Healthcare and wellbeing • Automotive • Assistive technologies • Entertainment • Workplace happiness • Social media • Internet of Things (IoT) • Smart homes Large Language Models and Agentic AI • End-user interaction with LLMs, agents, and multimodal models (e.g., chatbots, image generation) • LLMs and agents in the workplace • Human-agent interaction and multi-agent systems • Bias in LLMs and agents • The effects of LLMs and agents use on creative tasks • Personalized user interaction with LLMs and agents • Prompt engineering • User control and steering of LLMs and agents (e.g., RLHF, chaining, instruction tuning) Evaluations of Intelligent User Interfaces • User experiments and studies • Reproducibility (including benchmarks, datasets, and challenges) • Meta-analysis • Mixed-methods evaluations Papers We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. At least one author of all accepted papers must register with full registration fee (not student registration fee), attend in person, and present their paper during the main conference program. One registration covers one paper only. A selected set of accepted top-quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS) special issue titled “Highlights of IUI 2026” that will appear in 2027. Reflection of practical and societal impact We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of their work (as well as its shortcomings) throughout their projects and to include a reflection on those implications in their papers, in particular how the proposed methods and insights could be applied and deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people's lives in the real world. We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work in terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic and its societal impact. We recognize that technology is rarely neutral --- simply by making some things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; Green, 2020). Further, given the incredibly short invention-to-application cycles for AI-related technologies, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that “somebody else” will carefully consider how an emerging intelligent user interface technology might impact the world before this technology is deployed. Our purpose is to help authors ensure that the likely societal consequences of their work are consistent with their intentions and values. For colleagues who are not yet experienced with incorporating societal impacts into their IUI research but who are willing to give it a try, here are some ideas to consider. Anonymization ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions (and supplemental materials) must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines: • Authors' names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper. • Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process. • Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third person. For example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ... " is not allowed, whereas "... as shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation). Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being desk-rejected without review. Accessibility Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that reviewers with vision impairments can access them, for example). The authors of accepted papers will be required to make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible Submission for detailed instructions. If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide captions, as described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos. Please refer to the Accessibility page of the conference site for further details and guidelines. Usage of Generative AI All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI: the April 2023 ACM Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked Questions. Text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, must be clearly marked where such tools are used for purposes beyond editing the author’s own text. Authors should include a “GenAI Usage Disclosure” section, right before the references, to provide full disclosure of all use of GenAI tools in all stages of the research (including the code and data) and the writing. This section, together with the references, will not be counted toward the word limit. While we do not anticipate using tools on a large scale to detect LLM-generated text, we will investigate submissions brought to our attention and desk reject papers where LLM use is not clearly marked. Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects Any research in submitted manuscripts that involves human subjects must go through the appropriate ethics review requirements that apply to the authors’ research environment. As research environments vary considerably with regard to their requirements, authors are asked to submit a short note to reviewers that provides this context. Please also see the 2021 ACM Publications policy on research involving human participants and subjects before submitting. Additional Policies Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and Review at SIGCHI Conferences and ACM Publications Policies. Submission Format, Length, and Platform We adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow. Please prepare your submission for review in a single column format, using the latest templates: Word Submission Template, or the LaTeX template using \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for the LaTeX template. Papers are of variable length. Paper length must be proportional to its contribution. We encourage authors to stay within a 10,000 word limit. Authors of papers exceeding 12,000 words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work. Submission Platform All materials must be submitted electronically to the Precision Conference Submission (PCS) Portal (https://new.precisionconference.com/) by the abstract and paper deadlines. In PCS, first click “Submissions” at the top of the page, from the dropdown menus for Society, Conference, and Track, please select “SIGCHI”, “IUI 2026”, and “IUI 2026 Papers”, respectively, and then press “Go”. Note: If the corresponding author (the individual who submits the paper, not necessarily the first author) is affiliated with a participating institution that has an open access agreement with ACM, the Article Processing Charges (APCs) will be waived for publishing the paper. Details are under “Publication and Open Access”. Supplemental Materials Submitting supplemental material (e.g., questionnaires, demo videos of applications, data sheets) is optional but encouraged. If supplying a demo video, please follow the SIGCHI Technical Requirements and Guidelines for videos. Publication and Open Access The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. 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. Important Dates (AoE) • Abstract: October 3, 2025 • Full Paper: October 10, 2025 • Decision Notification: December 12, 2025 • Camera-ready Submission: January 23, 2026 Organisation General Chairs • Tsvi Kuflik, The University of Haifa, Israel • Styliani Kleanthous, Open University of Cyprus, Cyprus Local Organising Chair • George A.

The accepted dimensions are 60 (width) x 80 (length). CALL FOR SPECIAL TRACKS IEEE CBMS 2026 invites proposals for organization of special tracks that will be held in parallel with the general conference track. The themes of the special tracks should not overlap with the general conference topics and should focus on emerging research fields. All tracks are expected to enable stimulating discussions of state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary, and perhaps controversial topics. Their papers should report on significant unpublished work and must meet the same standards as main conference papers. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. We expect all accepted tracks to adhere to the conference paper submission and reviewing schedule, as outlined in the dates indicated below. Special Tracks chair(s) will be interacting with organisers of accepted workshops to ensure a high-quality workshop program. In the case of detecting several similar submissions, the CBMS 2026 organization can propose the fusion of those proposals. Special Track Requirements The organizers of a special track must comply with a set of principles and obligations, listed below: • A specific webpage with information about the special track will be created by CBMS after the acceptance notification. The organizers must provide the following information to be added to such webpage: special track description, list of topics, call for papers, submission information (must be the same as CBMS 2026 regular track), special track organizers, special track program committee members, any other relevant information. • The organizers of the special track are responsible for the peer-review process within their track. They must add their own Program Committee members/reviewers to the submission platform, ensure that receive all the reviews on time, check the quality of the reviews, and establish the acceptance/rejection decision. The final decision will be sent by CBMS 2026 PC Chairs. They also must pay special attention to potential conflicts of interest and ensure that all the general ethical rules of research are followed. • At least one of the organizers of the special track must register and attend CBMS 2026 in Limassol, Cyprus. The organizer(s) who attend CBMS will also chair the specific session that will be assigned in the agenda to their track. • The organizers of the special track are responsible for the publicity of their track to try to win as many submissions as possible. Please bear in mind that a special track with less than 4 accepted papers could be canceled. In this case, the accepted papers will be moved to the regular track. Submission Guidelines Each proposal must include: • Special track title • Rough estimate of the expected ST size as number of sessions (with 4-5 papers per session) • A brief biography of ST organizer(s) • List of Special Track Program Committee members • A draft of Special Track “Call for Papers” (important dates must be the same of the main conference) • One or two appropriate journals or follow up publications: tracks are expected to organize a special issue, if planned. The proposal must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair conference management system (see link below). CALL FOR SHOWCASE / RESEARCH PROJECTS CBMS 2026 will have a special showcase/research projects track session, where we invite (a) scientific papers, (b) demonstrations/posters and (c) research-projects descriptions.

[CFP] Special Issue on Connected Realities: Exploring Collaboration and Social Interaction in eXtended Reality

by Andrea Antonio CANTONE

******************************************************** *Connected Realities: Exploring Collaboration and Social Interaction in eXtended Reality* ******************************************************** Special Issue of the *Virtual Reality* journal https://link.springer.com/collections/ijfihjahcf *Aims and Scope* Extended Reality (XR) technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), are profoundly transforming how people interact and collaborate in the digital world, overcoming physical barriers and creating new opportunities for social connection. These immersive solutions range from integrating digital elements into the real world to building entirely virtual environments, expanding the boundaries of human interaction. However, the growth of XR also presents significant challenges related to social cohesion, collaboration, inclusivity, and accessibility. Designing XR environments with a strong focus on social interaction and collaboration is essential to creating spaces that foster meaningful connections and teamwork. In an increasingly interconnected world, neglecting social factors risks excluding users and limiting XR’s potential as a tool for global collaboration. This special issue aims to explore strategies for designing XR environments that enable equitable, inclusive, and safe participation, addressing the needs of a diverse community and ensuring that no one is left out of these new modes of interaction and collaboration. *Topics* Authors are invited to submit articles that fall under topics such as, but not limited to: ● Social dynamics in XR ● Accessibility in XR ● Inclusivity in Immersive Technologies ● User Safety and Ethical Standards ● Designing for Engagement and Cohesion ● Emotional and Psychological Impacts of XR ● Educational and Collaborative Uses of XR *Important dates* Paper Submission deadline: 30 November 2025 *Please feel free to contact us for more information.* Giuliana Vitiello, University of Salerno - Italy, gvitiello(a)unisa.it Pablo Cesar, Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and TU Delft - The Netherlands, garcia(a)cwi.nl Tanja Kojić, TU Berlin - Germany, tanja.kojic(a)tu-berlin.de Andrea Antonio Cantone, University of Salerno - Italy, acantone(a)unisa.it

by Carmen Santoro

*** (Apologies for multiple postings) *** Call for Papers for the First Submission Round of Full Papers and Technical Notes of EICS 2026: The 18th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems, 30 June - 3 July 2026, Patras, Greece https://eics.acm.org/2026/ Submission deadline for the 1st Round of PACMHCI EICS 2026 for Full Papers and Technical Notes: July 25, 2025 EICS 2026 is the eighteenth international ACM SIGCHI conference devoted to engineering interactive computing systems and their user interfaces, addressing one or more software quality factors, such as usability, user experience, reliability, security, etc. Work presented at EICS covers all stages of the engineering life-cycle of interactive systems - inception, requirements, design, specification, coding, data analytics, validation and verification, deployment and maintenance. EICS has the longest tradition of bringing together researchers who contribute to better ways of creating interactive computing systems, stemming from the conference on command languages in the seventies. The conference is best known for rigorously contributing and disseminating research results that hold the midst in between user interface design, software engineering and computational interaction. EICS focuses on models, languages, notations, methods, techniques and tools that support designing, developing, validating and verifying interactive systems. The conference brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from design, HCI, software engineering, requirements engineering, software development, modeling, and programming. Submissions advance the state of the art of the engineering of interactive systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: *Modelling, specification and analysis of interaction and interactive systems *Requirements engineering for interactive systems *Methods, processes, principles and/or tools for building interactive systems (e.g., design, implementation, prototyping, evaluation, verification and validation, testing) *Software architectures for interactive systems *Formal methods within interactive systems engineering *Bridging the gap between engineering and design practices. *Engineering design and evaluation tools *Computational techniques for designing and evaluating interactive systems *Interactive data-driven systems *Explore and/or employ of diverse interaction techniques and devices (e.g., adaptive, context-aware, tangible, haptic, touch and multitouch input, voice, gestures, recognition of physiological signals, multimodal input, mobile and wearable systems, virtual, augmented, mixed and extended reality) *Engineering hardware or software integration in interactive systems (e.g., fabrication and maker processes, physical computing, cyber-physical systems) *Engineering interactive systems for diverse user groups (e.g., children, elderly, people with disabilities…) *Engineering collaborative multi-user interactive systems *Engineering interactive systems embedding AI-technologies *Engineering interaction-driven AI-technologies *Applying AI technologies in methods, processes and tools for building interactive systems in all stages of the engineering lifecycle A newcomer’s guide to EICS is available at https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3300960 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FULL PAPERS and TECHNICAL NOTES SUBMISSIONS EICS Full Papers and Technical Notes are published as articles in the Journal Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACM - EICS series). There are three submission deadlines per year, and authors can choose when to submit. Papers follow the traditional journal model of reviewing: papers may be accepted after submission and review, or may be recommended for revisions and re-submission to the next round to enable authors to refine papers based on reviewer recommendations. Submissions for the journal of this venue should present original and mature research work within the scope of the conference. Note that accepted journal papers can be either regular research papers, or technical notes. Technical Notes are shorter, more focused contributions, that focus specifically on system contributions and technical work. Elucidating technical details of complex interactive systems, preferably ensuring the work can be reproduced or put to practice, is a primary objective of a Technical Note. Tech Notes require an illustrative example of the system, and they can, but do not need to, be validated by formal user evaluations or user studies. Validation can also be done through e.g. simulation, feasibility, or comparisons. Tech Notes will be judged on their technical merits and relevance to interactive systems concerns. There are no length restrictions on Full Papers and Technical Notes, nor any limit to the number of references that may be included. We advise authors to ensure the length of their papers is in function of the contributions. Concise and clear is often to be preferred over lengthy and verbose. Full Papers and Technical Notes should be written in the ACM format, see https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions Papers should comply with the ACM policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects, see https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-participa nts-and-subjects Submission deadline for the 1st Round of PACMHCI EICS 2026 for Full Papers and Technical Notes: July 25, 2025 Papers are submitted using https://new.precisionconference.com PACMHCI-EICS Full Papers and Technical Notes chairs for EICS 2026 Célia Martinie and Davide Spano

CFP Track Accessible Devices and Technologies (ADT '26) - ACM SAC 2026

by Mirko Franco

Track on Accessible Devices and Technologies (ADT ‘26) Thessaloniki, Greece, March 23 - 27, 2026 Part of the 41st ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC ‘26) https://unipd.link/ADT-2026 https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2026/ Theme and Scope Modern devices and technologies can represent a digital barrier for users with disabilities, but they can be exploited to become enabling tools for them. Accessibility of devices and technologies is a critical topic to allow inclusion of all users, especially due to the European laws that impose accessibility for new products and the definition of an updated version of WCAG (Web Accessibility Guidelines). This track invites scientists, engineers, and decision-makers from government, industry, and academia to present technical papers on their research and development results in areas of accessibility. This track can interest many researchers since it would give the chance to face a wide range of topics, i.e., web or mobile technologies, with different points of view, taking into account specific technological constraints and digital barriers. It is well-known that the so-called “curb cut effect” can be applied to any technological and digital context (in terms of devices, content, and services): technologies that were originally meant to benefit people with disabilities can help any other users. Moreover, the history and the evolution of several technologies have been influenced and/or motivated by the special needs of people with disabilities. This track will invite scientists, engineers, and decision-makers from government, industry, and academia to present technical papers on their research and development results in areas of accessibility, including but not limited to the following topics: Accessible devices/assistive technologies: assistive technologies refer to all the assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities that enable users to perform tasks they were formerly unable to accomplish. On the one hand, the widespread diffusion of new devices and technologies stimulates researchers to find and apply new solutions to make them accessible to anyone. On the other hand, experiences in accessibility-related fields have been exploited and have provided benefits to users equipped with non-conventional devices when they emerged in the market. Accessible solutions for e-learning, e-commerce, e-banking, etc: e-services and content often require specific technologies, being bounded by specific constraints when accessed by people with disabilities equipped with assistive technologies. Specific interaction modalities may affect interactive service access, while richness and quantity of content may affect the users’ ability to process information. Accessible content: e-books, accessible TV, accessible broadcasting, etc. Accessibility of games. AI for Accessibility: AI can be exploited both for personalization (i.e., integrating AI-based personalization to support specific and special needs) and “enabler” (i.e., exploiting LLM to support the creation of accessible applications). Submission Guidelines We would like to invite authors to submit papers on research on the Accessibility area, with particular emphasis on assessing the current state of the art and identifying future directions. Original papers addressing any of the listed topics of interest (or related topics) will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind review process by at least three referees. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM SAC 2026 proceedings and published in the ACM digital library, being indexed by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus. Submissions fall into the following categories: Original and unpublished research work; Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business area; Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains; Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems. The track accepts full papers (max 8 pages), posters (max 2 pages), and SRC abstracts (max 2 pages). Submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing. Papers that will recevie high reviews (that is acceptable by reviewer standard) but will not be accepted due to space limitations can be invited for poster session. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright statement and must pay the registration fee and guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. No-show of scheduled papers will result in excluding the papers from the ACM Digital Library. See the track website https://unipd.link/ADT-2026 for more details. Important Dates September 26, 2025 (EST): Submission of regular papers and SRC research abstracts October 31, 2025: Notification of papers, posters, and SRC research abstracts December 5, 2025: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers/SRC December 12, 2025: Authors registration due Organization Ombretta Gaggi, University of Padua Silvia Mirri, University of Bologna Mike Paciello, AudioEye, WebABLE Catia Prandi, University of Bologna Submission Portal Please submit your contribution through our online submission portal available at https://easychair.org/account2/signin?l=8679424414231038462 (regular papers) and https://easychair.org/account2/signin?l=1380962008236610457 (SRC abstracts).

[CfP] Workshop "Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems" (DIGI-Teens 2025)

by Luigi De Russis

** Apologies for cross-posting ** Call for Papers – Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2025) CHItaly 2025 Workshop October 2025 - Salerno, Italy More info: https://sites.google.com/view/2nd-digiteens-ws --- ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Recently, researchers have been examining the unforeseen issues caused by the excessive use of personal devices and online services, especially as companies increasingly employ "attention-capture" tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users' psychological vulnerabilities, aiming to boost advertising revenue, resulting in tangible repercussions on users' perceived agency and often leading to a perceived lack of control over their technology use. These problems gave rise to a new kind of psychological "digital wellbeing," investigated in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and psychology. Traditional strategies employed by practitioners and researchers involve the creation of Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), i.e., mobile applications and browser extensions that empower users to monitor their usage patterns and implement interventions, such as timers and lock-out mechanisms, to self-regulate device usage. Yet, researchers and the users themselves are starting to warn that achieving digital wellbeing is a path of personal growth that requires education more than self-monitoring strategies. The objective of this workshop is to establish a venue for the academic and industrial communities to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education, aiming to promote the development of strategies and tools to "teach" users – particularly children and teenagers – to use technology more meaningfully and consciously. This objective can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by creating novel DSCTs that include educational aspects, serious games, collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning at school, or leveraging AI and, in particular, large language models (LLMs) to create adaptive, personalized educational experiences that help users develop healthier digital habits and skills for navigating online environments. This workshop is part of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (CHItaly 2025). CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, psychology, design, and/or education to engage in dialog on the topics below. A key priority of our workshop will be to invite submissions from an intellectually diverse and global group of participants to further discussions on how appropriate human-centered design can contribute to digital wellbeing education. Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper (2-4 pages) describing and highlighting their contributions to the workshop topics. The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems; - tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school; - strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing; - novel DSCTs that include educational aspects; - gamification strategies for digital wellbeing; - AI-based personalized digital wellbeing learning; - ethical, social, and policy-making factors. SUBMISSIONS Submissions of position papers should be of 2-4 pages, in the ACM Primary Article Submission Templates (single column, https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).

EICS has the longest tradition of bringing together researchers who contribute to better ways of creating interactive computing systems, stemming from the conference on command languages in the seventies. The conference is best known for rigorously contributing and disseminating research results that hold the midst in between user interface design, software engineering and computational interaction. EICS focuses on models, languages, notations, methods, techniques and tools that support designing, developing, validating and verifying interactive systems. The conference brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from design, HCI, software engineering, requirements engineering, software development, modeling, and programming. Submissions advance the state of the art of the engineering of interactive systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: *Modelling, specification and analysis of interaction and interactive systems *Requirements engineering for interactive systems *Methods, processes, principles and/or tools for building interactive systems (e.g., design, implementation, prototyping, evaluation, verification and validation, testing) *Software architectures for interactive systems *Formal methods within interactive systems engineering *Bridging the gap between engineering and design practices. *Engineering design and evaluation tools *Computational techniques for designing and evaluating interactive systems *Interactive data-driven systems *Explore and/or employ of diverse interaction techniques and devices (e.g., adaptive, context-aware, tangible, haptic, touch and multitouch input, voice, gestures, recognition of physiological signals, multimodal input, mobile and wearable systems, virtual, augmented, mixed and extended reality) *Engineering hardware or software integration in interactive systems (e.g., fabrication and maker processes, physical computing, cyber-physical systems) *Engineering interactive systems for diverse user groups (e.g., children, elderly, people with disabilities…) *Engineering collaborative multi-user interactive systems *Engineering interactive systems embedding AI-technologies *Engineering interaction-driven AI-technologies *Applying AI technologies in methods, processes and tools for building interactive systems in all stages of the engineering lifecycle A newcomer’s guide to EICS is available at https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3300960 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FULL PAPERS and TECHNICAL NOTES SUBMISSIONS EICS Full Papers and Technical Notes are published as articles in the Journal Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACM - EICS series). There are three submission deadlines per year, and authors can choose when to submit. Papers follow the traditional journal model of reviewing: papers may be accepted after submission and review, or may be recommended for revisions and re-submission to the next round to enable authors to refine papers based on reviewer recommendations. Submissions for the journal of this venue should present original and mature research work within the scope of the conference. Note that accepted journal papers can be either regular research papers, or technical notes. Technical Notes are shorter, more focused contributions, that focus specifically on system contributions and technical work. Elucidating technical details of complex interactive systems, preferably ensuring the work can be reproduced or put to practice, is a primary objective of a Technical Note. Tech Notes require an illustrative example of the system, and they can, but do not need to, be validated by formal user evaluations or user studies. Validation can also be done through e.g. simulation, feasibility, or comparisons. Tech Notes will be judged on their technical merits and relevance to interactive systems concerns. There are no length restrictions on Full Papers and Technical Notes, nor any limit to the number of references that may be included. We advise authors to ensure the length of their papers is in function of the contributions. Concise and clear is often to be preferred over lengthy and verbose.

The 31st Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): First Call for Papers

by Announce

*** First Call for Papers *** The 31st Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026) March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/ The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the annual premier venue where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies, techniques, and systems. This area is crucial as AI is increasingly integrated into everyday technology. Understanding and shaping AI systems for human needs is essential to ensure that AI systems are effective and responsible. As these techniques become increasingly powerful, new use cases and human-AI interactions can be explored. This conference offers an opportunity to focus the research community on important problems at the intersection of AI and HCI and bring together experts from various disciplines to discuss and build on these ideas in workshops, breaks, and networking sessions. Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. Diverse insights are critical to the vitality of the IUI community, and the conference will accept papers for both long and short oral presentations. Contributions to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). Topics IUI 2026 topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Human-centered AI methods, approaches, and systems • Explainable AI methods • Democratization of AI • Persuasive technologies in IUI • Privacy and security of IUI • Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation • User modelling for intelligent interfaces • User-adaptive interaction and personalization • IUI for crowd computing and human computation • Human control in daily automations • Trust and reliance in intelligent systems Computational innovation • Interactive machine learning • Human-in-the loop AI testing and debugging • Human-centered recommendation and recommender systems • Generative models • Human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning • Intelligent user interfaces for generative AI Innovative User Interfaces • Affective interfaces • Intelligent aesthetic interfaces • Intelligent collaborative interfaces • Intelligent AR/VR interfaces • Intelligent visualization and visual analytics • Intelligent wearable and mobile interfaces • Intelligent tangible interfaces Intelligent Multimodal Systems • Embodied agents • Multimodal AI assistants • Intelligent multimodal interfaces Intelligent Applications • Education and learning-related technologies • Healthcare and wellbeing • Automotive • Assistive technologies • Entertainment • Workplace happiness • Social media • Internet of Things (IoT) • Smart homes Large Language Models and Agentic AI • End-user interaction with LLMs, agents, and multimodal models (e.g., chatbots, image generation) • LLMs and agents in the workplace • Human-agent interaction and multi-agent systems • Bias in LLMs and agents • The effects of LLMs and agents use on creative tasks • Personalized user interaction with LLMs and agents • Prompt engineering • User control and steering of LLMs and agents (e.g., RLHF, chaining, instruction tuning) Evaluations of Intelligent User Interfaces • User experiments and studies • Reproducibility (including benchmarks, datasets, and challenges) • Meta-analysis • Mixed-methods evaluations Papers We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. At least one author of all accepted papers must register with full registration fee (not student registration fee), attend in person, and present their paper during the main conference program. One registration covers one paper only. A selected set of accepted top-quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS) special issue titled “Highlights of IUI 2026” that will appear in 2027. Reflection of practical and societal impact We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of their work (as well as its shortcomings) throughout their projects and to include a reflection on those implications in their papers, in particular how the proposed methods and insights could be applied and deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people's lives in the real world. We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work in terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic and its societal impact. We recognize that technology is rarely neutral --- simply by making some things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; Green, 2020). Further, given the incredibly short invention-to-application cycles for AI-related technologies, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that “somebody else” will carefully consider how an emerging intelligent user interface technology might impact the world before this technology is deployed. Our purpose is to help authors ensure that the likely societal consequences of their work are consistent with their intentions and values. For colleagues who are not yet experienced with incorporating societal impacts into their IUI research but who are willing to give it a try, here are some ideas to consider. Anonymization ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions (and supplemental materials) must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines: • Authors' names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper. • Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process. • Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third person. For example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ... " is not allowed, whereas "... as shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation). Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being desk-rejected without review. Accessibility Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that reviewers with vision impairments can access them, for example). The authors of accepted papers will be required to make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible Submission for detailed instructions. If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide captions, as described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos. Please refer to the Accessibility page of the conference site for further details and guidelines. Usage of Generative AI All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI: the April 2023 ACM Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked Questions. Text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, must be clearly marked where such tools are used for purposes beyond editing the author’s own text. Authors should include a “GenAI Usage Disclosure” section, right before the references, to provide full disclosure of all use of GenAI tools in all stages of the research (including the code and data) and the writing. This section, together with the references, will not be counted toward the word limit. While we do not anticipate using tools on a large scale to detect LLM-generated text, we will investigate submissions brought to our attention and desk reject papers where LLM use is not clearly marked. Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects Any research in submitted manuscripts that involves human subjects must go through the appropriate ethics review requirements that apply to the authors’ research environment. As research environments vary considerably with regard to their requirements, authors are asked to submit a short note to reviewers that provides this context. Please also see the 2021 ACM Publications policy on research involving human participants and subjects before submitting. Additional Policies Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and Review at SIGCHI Conferences and ACM Publications Policies. Submission Format, Length, and Platform We adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow. Please prepare your submission for review in a single column format, using the latest templates: Word Submission Template, or the LaTeX template using \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for the LaTeX template. Papers are of variable length. Paper length must be proportional to its contribution. We encourage authors to stay within a 10,000 word limit. Authors of papers exceeding 12,000 words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work. Submission Platform All materials must be submitted electronically to the Precision Conference Submission (PCS) Portal (https://new.precisionconference.com/) by the abstract and paper deadlines. In PCS, first click “Submissions” at the top of the page, from the dropdown menus for Society, Conference, and Track, please select “SIGCHI”, “IUI 2026”, and “IUI 2026 Papers”, respectively, and then press “Go”. Note: If the corresponding author (the individual who submits the paper, not necessarily the first author) is affiliated with a participating institution that has an open access agreement with ACM, the Article Processing Charges (APCs) will be waived for publishing the paper. Details are under “Publication and Open Access”. Supplemental Materials Submitting supplemental material (e.g., questionnaires, demo videos of applications, data sheets) is optional but encouraged. If supplying a demo video, please follow the SIGCHI Technical Requirements and Guidelines for videos. Publication and Open Access The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. 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. Important Dates (AoE) • Abstract: October 3, 2025 • Full Paper: October 10, 2025 • Decision Notification: December 12, 2025 • Camera-ready Submission: January 23, 2026 Organisation General Chairs • Tsvi Kuflik, The University of Haifa, Israel • Styliani Kleanthous, Open University of Cyprus, Cyprus Local Organising Chair • George A.

[CfP] Workshop "Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems" (DIGI-Teens 2025)

by Luigi De Russis

** Apologies for cross-posting ** Call for Papers – Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2025) CHItaly 2025 Workshop October 2025 - Salerno, Italy More info: https://sites.google.com/view/2nd-digiteens-ws --- ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Recently, researchers have been examining the unforeseen issues caused by the excessive use of personal devices and online services, especially as companies increasingly employ "attention-capture" tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users' psychological vulnerabilities, aiming to boost advertising revenue, resulting in tangible repercussions on users' perceived agency and often leading to a perceived lack of control over their technology use. These problems gave rise to a new kind of psychological "digital wellbeing," investigated in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and psychology. Traditional strategies employed by practitioners and researchers involve the creation of Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), i.e., mobile applications and browser extensions that empower users to monitor their usage patterns and implement interventions, such as timers and lock-out mechanisms, to self-regulate device usage. Yet, researchers and the users themselves are starting to warn that achieving digital wellbeing is a path of personal growth that requires education more than self-monitoring strategies. The objective of this workshop is to establish a venue for the academic and industrial communities to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education, aiming to promote the development of strategies and tools to "teach" users – particularly children and teenagers – to use technology more meaningfully and consciously. This objective can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by creating novel DSCTs that include educational aspects, serious games, collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning at school, or leveraging AI and, in particular, large language models (LLMs) to create adaptive, personalized educational experiences that help users develop healthier digital habits and skills for navigating online environments. This workshop is part of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (CHItaly 2025). CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, psychology, design, and/or education to engage in dialog on the topics below. A key priority of our workshop will be to invite submissions from an intellectually diverse and global group of participants to further discussions on how appropriate human-centered design can contribute to digital wellbeing education. Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper (2-4 pages) describing and highlighting their contributions to the workshop topics. The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems; - tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school; - strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing; - novel DSCTs that include educational aspects; - gamification strategies for digital wellbeing; - AI-based personalized digital wellbeing learning; - ethical, social, and policy-making factors. SUBMISSIONS Submissions of position papers should be of 2-4 pages, in the ACM Primary Article Submission Templates (single column, https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Papers should be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=digiteens2025). They will be reviewed by at least one qualified reviewer with expertise in the relevant subject area. The workshop chairs will make final acceptance decisions based on these reviews, considering factors such as relevance to the workshop themes, originality of contribution, and overall quality. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop. Virtual participation will be made possible. Accepted and presented papers will be made available on CEUR Workshop Proceedings, if possible, while workshop results will be published on our website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: 14 July 2025 Notification: 1 August 2025 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Luca Scibetta, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Luigi De Russis, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Alberto Monge Roffarello, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Catia Prandi, Università di Bologna, Italy Chiara Ceccarini, Università di Bologna, Italy

Call for Contributions: An edited collection celebrating the intellectual impact and legacy of Liam Bannon

by Luigina Ciolfi

Call for Contributions Framing Human-Machine Interactions: An edited collection celebrating the intellectual impact and legacy of Liam Bannon. Editors: Gabriela Avram, Luigina Ciolfi, Trevor Hogan, Cristiano Storni FramingInteractions(a)gmail.com<mailto:FramingInteractions@gmail.com> Liam Bannon (1953-2024) was a leader in human-centred computing, studying the role of technologies in people’s lives and championing the design of better interactive systems. His academic homes were the disciplines of human-computer interaction and computer supported cooperative work, which he was instrumental in establishing. From the beginning of his research career in the 1980s to the later stages of his life, he contributed significantly to the historical, theoretical, and methodological framing of HCI and CSCW: developing an activity theoretical lens in HCI, critically examining the history of computing and its intersection with design, the arts and humanities, proposing and refining key concepts, arguing for situated and participatory approaches to create more meaningful designs. Across his body of work, his core argument was that human beings and their activities in the world must be a core concern of computer science. Liam’s thinking flourished when moving and threading across disciplinary boundaries, and when following new and often unexpected trajectories, ever since his early studies across psychology and computer science. Similarly to his own way of thinking and writing, he was constantly making connections across people in various fields, contexts, and countries. As the first anniversary of Liam’s death approaches in September 2025, we launch a new initiative to capture his impact and legacy into the future: an open-access, online edited collection that will bring together pieces by authors who have been influenced and inspired by Liam’s work. The collection will be available to read for anyone (students, early career researchers, established scholars, etc) interested in the impact and critical discussion of Liam’s work and ideas. The collection will be open to contributions on a rolling basis, and will be updated yearly through annual open calls. We invite anyone who has been influenced and inspired by Liam Bannon’s work to contribute to its first release, planned for the Winter 2025. The format of contributions is open: articles, speculative essays, fictions, poems, personal reflections are all welcome. We also welcome contributions containing links to other media. We request that contributions do not exceed 15,000 words in length. There is no minimum length requirement. Submitting: Submissions should be made through this link: https://forms.gle/qQaFxhyXkB2KT6rD6 Reviewing Process: All submissions will be reviewed by the editorial board for relevance, appropriateness and quality. Publication: Will be published online as open access (with ISSN and DOI) under Creative Commons license. Each published contribution will be assigned a unique identifier. Timeline: Deadline for submitting contributions for the first release: 01October 2025 First release available online: January 2026 Queries can be directed to: FramingInteractions(a)gmail.com The Editors Gabriela Avram (Em., University of Limerick, Ireland) Luigina Ciolfi (University College Cork, Ireland) Trevor Hogan (Munster Technological University, Ireland) Cristiano Storni (University of Limerick, Ireland)

[CFP] [Deadline extended!] International Workshop AIRCAD2025 @ ICIAP2025

by Andrea Loddo

🎉 *CALL FOR PAPERS - AIRCAD 2025 @ICIAP 2025* 🎉 *IMPORTANT: Deadline extended to 22 June 2025!* 🧠 *3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis (AIRCAD 2025)* 📅 Held with the 23rd International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP 2025) 📍 Roma, Italy, September 2025 🔗 https://sites.google.com/view/aircad2025 🎯 *AIMS AND SCOPE* In the modern era, healthcare systems predominantly operate with digital medical data, facilitating a wide array of artificial intelligence applications. There's a growing interest in quantitatively analysing clinical images through techniques like Positron Emission Tomography, Computerised Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, particularly in the realms of texture analysis and radiomics. Through machine and deep learning advancements, researchers can glean insights to enhance the discovery of therapeutic tools, bolster diagnostic decisions, and aid in the rehabilitation process. However, the huge volume of available data may intensify the diagnostic effort, exacerbated by high inter/intra-patient variability, diverse imaging techniques, and the necessity to incorporate data from multiple sensors and sources, thus giving rise to the well-documented domain shift issue. To tackle these challenges, radiologists and pathologists employ Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems, which assist in analysing biomedical images. These systems mitigate or eradicate difficulties arising from inter- and intra-observer variability, ensuring consistent assessments of the same region by the same physician at various times and across different physicians, thanks to adept algorithms. Additionally, significant issues such as delayed or restricted data access, driven by privacy, security, and intellectual property concerns, pose considerable hurdles. Consequently, researchers are increasingly exploring the use of synthetic data, both for model training and for simulating scenarios not observed in real life. Furthermore, the emergence of foundation models, such as Vision Transformers and large multimodal models, represents a paradigm shift in medical image analysis. These models, pre-trained on vast datasets, demonstrate remarkable adaptability across various tasks, including segmentation, classification, and multi-modal integration. Their ability to generalise effectively offers promising avenues for addressing domain shift issues and integrating heterogeneous data sources, enhancing diagnostic and predictive accuracy. This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in biomedical image processing, leveraging machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and radiomics features. Emphasis is placed on practical applications, including potential solutions to address domain shift issues, the utilisation of synthetic images to augment CAD systems, and the integration of foundation models into clinical workflows. Ultimately, the aim is to explore how these techniques can seamlessly integrate into the conventional medical image processing workflow, encompassing image acquisition, retrieval, disease detection, prediction, and classification. 📚 *TOPICS* The workshop calls for submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: - 🤖 Machine & Deep Learning for image segmentation/classification (cells, tissues, lesions, diseases) - 📐 Image Registration Techniques - 🎨 Image Preprocessing (noise reduction, contrast enhancement) - 🏗️ 3D Reconstruction - 💡 Computer-Aided Detection & Diagnosis systems (CAD) - 🧬 Radiomics & AI in personalized medicine - 🔎 Content-based Image Retrieval - 🌐 Remote biomedical image processing & transmission architectures - 🥽 3D Vision, VR/AR/MR for remote surgery - 🔒 Privacy-preserving AI in medicine - 🧪 Synthetic medical images for model validation - 🏥 Foundation models (Vision Transformers, GPT-based) for analysis & multi-modal data integration - 🛡️ Reliability and robustness of synthetic data - ⚖️ Ethical & Regulatory Issues in AI medical imaging - 📋 Frameworks for ethical AI & compliance with standards - 🧑‍⚖️ Addressing bias, fairness, and transparency with explainable AI 📝 *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Accepted papers will be included in the ICIAP 2025 proceedings, which will be published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS).

For more details about the registration see the ICIAP main conference details. 📅 *IMPORTANT DATES* - Paper Submission : 15 June, 2025 *22 June, 2025 * - Notifications to Authors : 30 June 2025 *4 July, 2025 * - Camera Ready Papers Due : 10 July, 2025 - Workshop Event: 15/16 September, 2025 🎤 *ABSTRACT OF THE TALK (Dr. Carsten Marr)* Diagnosing hematologic malignancies still relies heavily on the subjective visual assessment of cytological and histological images. Experts are increasingly challenged by large volumes of data, the rarity of diagnostic cell types, and the heterogeneous presentation of disease. Despite the availability of comprehensive patient data, advanced deep learning algorithms, and a solid understanding of hematopoiesis, there is currently no robust model capable of automatically analyzing and predicting disease dynamics from blood smears or bone marrow aspirates. In this talk, I will present recent advances in AI-based hematopathology that aim to address key challenges such as model robustness, generalization to real-world data, bias mitigation, and the integration of multimodal sources. I will highlight three promising directions: (1) efficient single-cell detection using neural cellular automata, (2) interpretable feature learning via sparse autoencoders, and (3) the integration of biomedical prior knowledge into model training through customized loss functions. These developments illustrate how tailored AI solutions can bridge the gap between machine learning algorithms and clinical decision-making, paving the way toward more accurate, scalable, and explainable diagnostics in hematology 🩸. 👥 *ORGANIZERS* Albert Comelli, Ri.MED Foundation, acomelli(a)fondazionerimed.com Cecilia Di Ruberto, University of Cagliari, dirubert(a)unica.it Andrea Loddo, University of Cagliari, andrea.loddo(a)unica.it Lorenzo Putzu, University of Cagliari, lorenzo.putzu(a)unica.it Alessandro Stefano, IBSBC - CNR of Cefalù, alessandro.stefano(a)ibfm.cnr.it Luca Zedda, University of Cagliari, luca.zedda(a)unica.it ___________ Andrea Loddo PhD | Dept.

by Carlo Giovannella

/Apologize for unintended cross-mailing/ ==================== Dear scholar, to mark the *tenth anniversary* of ASLERD <https://www.aslerd.org/>, SLERD 2025 <https://slerd.org/> will feature an open panel to offer a moment of reflection and projection—retracing key milestones in the evolution of Smart Learning Ecosystems (SLEs) and engaging with future challenges and opportunities. Topics will include the development of a participatory evaluation culture and related analytics as a basis for SLEs accountability and shared educational social responsibility; the “learning by being” paradigma, inspired and sustained by the design thinking; and the creation of inclusive, phygital learning spaces. In particular, the panel will highlight the importance of using technology — especially AI-based applications — with awareness and responsibility, ensuring access as a right rather than a cause of new digital divides.The conversation will also spotlight initiatives such as the Student Design Contest, which exemplify how to support the development of future generations in concrete ways. The open panel can be *freely *attended even by those who are not registered to the conference. The experts involved are: • *Mihai Dascalu *– ASLERD & University Politehnica of Bucharest •*Raffaele Di Fuccio* – Pegaso University • *Blaženka Divjak* – SoLAR & University of Zagreb • *Carlo Giovannella* – ASLERD & University of Roma Tor Vergata • *Seiji Isotani *– AIED & University of Sao Paulo • *Patrizia Marti *– ASLERD & University of SIENA • *Antonio Teixeira* – Universidade Aberta The debate will take place online *on the 12^th of June, 2025, from 14:00 CET to 16:00 CET *in the open conference room. More information, including the link to participate, can be found in the _relevant page of the SLERD2025 Conference website_ <https://slerd.org/programme/online-open-debate/>.

We also aim to build research capacity by bringing together researchers and practitioners across several disciplines and industries who are actively working or having interest toward understanding the need and role of such interfaces in supporting interactions across the life (e.g. older adults, inter-generational interactions.) We invite researchers from various fields to present their work on and collectively engage in synthesizing and collating findings from different disciplines, and to discuss barriers and approaches to designing age-inclusive CUIs that are usable, adoptable, and culturally relevant. Given the nascent phase of this community, and our goal of encouraging a grassroots approach to defining this space, we welcome position papers, short research papers, or short expressions of interest relevant to the broad space of our workshop. There is no format for the expression of interest - those wishing to participate in the workshop without a submitted paper should simply contact the organizers via email indicating through a short paragraph their prior experience and/or interest as relevant to the workshop, alongside their professional website or scholar page. We welcome position papers, short research papers, and expressions of interest along the focus areas described earlier, as well as open topics suggested by potential attendees (given the nascent phase of this community, and our goal of encouraging a grassroots approach to defining this space). For those interested in submitting a formal paper, we welcome short papers describing e.g. a research study, a novel system, a new theoretical contribution, or position papers that highlight new or ongoing challenges in the field. Submitted papers will be lightly reviewed by the organizing committee within a week of the submission (there is no formal deadline). Accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website. We recommend papers to be no more than 4 pages long, following the CHI Extended Abstract format). For submitting formal papers or an expression of interest, please email at cosmin(a)taglab.ca using "CUI2025 Age-inclusive workshop" in the email subject line. Submissions will be reviewed according to: fit with the workshop topic, and potential to contribute to the workshop goals. Alternate submission arrangements may be possible (such as the showcasing of papers previously accepted at other conferences). Diversity and Inclusion Considerations We want to bring together researchers and experts across the globe from HCI (particularly focused on mobile and conversational design), Computer Science (e.g., voice and language processing), Sociology (Gerontology), and age-inclusive computing. We will welcome research, practitioners from both industry and academia, as well as representative users, ensuring a diverse attendance. We will particularly welcome contributions from students and early career researchers (acknowledging the role conference workshop play in supporting the training and career development needs of these attendees), as well as contributions highlighting the intersectional aspects of our research space, e.g. focusing on dimensions such as gender, socio-economic background, race, etc. as factors that are integral to the aging process. -- Best Regards, Sayan Sarcar Birmingham City University, UK

[CFP] International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis AIRCAD2025 @ ICIAP2025

by Andrea Loddo

🎉 *CALL FOR PAPERS - AIRCAD 2025 @ICIAP 2025* 🎉 🧠 *3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis (AIRCAD 2025)* 📅 Held with the 23rd International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP 2025) 📍 Roma, Italy, September 2025 🔗 https://sites.google.com/view/aircad2025 🎯 *AIMS AND SCOPE* In the modern era, healthcare systems predominantly operate with digital medical data, facilitating a wide array of artificial intelligence applications. There's a growing interest in quantitatively analysing clinical images through techniques like Positron Emission Tomography, Computerised Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, particularly in the realms of texture analysis and radiomics. Through machine and deep learning advancements, researchers can glean insights to enhance the discovery of therapeutic tools, bolster diagnostic decisions, and aid in the rehabilitation process. However, the huge volume of available data may intensify the diagnostic effort, exacerbated by high inter/intra-patient variability, diverse imaging techniques, and the necessity to incorporate data from multiple sensors and sources, thus giving rise to the well-documented domain shift issue. To tackle these challenges, radiologists and pathologists employ Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems, which assist in analysing biomedical images. These systems mitigate or eradicate difficulties arising from inter- and intra-observer variability, ensuring consistent assessments of the same region by the same physician at various times and across different physicians, thanks to adept algorithms. Additionally, significant issues such as delayed or restricted data access, driven by privacy, security, and intellectual property concerns, pose considerable hurdles. Consequently, researchers are increasingly exploring the use of synthetic data, both for model training and for simulating scenarios not observed in real life. Furthermore, the emergence of foundation models, such as Vision Transformers and large multimodal models, represents a paradigm shift in medical image analysis. These models, pre-trained on vast datasets, demonstrate remarkable adaptability across various tasks, including segmentation, classification, and multi-modal integration. Their ability to generalise effectively offers promising avenues for addressing domain shift issues and integrating heterogeneous data sources, enhancing diagnostic and predictive accuracy. This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in biomedical image processing, leveraging machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and radiomics features. Emphasis is placed on practical applications, including potential solutions to address domain shift issues, the utilisation of synthetic images to augment CAD systems, and the integration of foundation models into clinical workflows. Ultimately, the aim is to explore how these techniques can seamlessly integrate into the conventional medical image processing workflow, encompassing image acquisition, retrieval, disease detection, prediction, and classification. 📚 *TOPICS* The workshop calls for submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: - 🤖 Machine & Deep Learning for image segmentation/classification (cells, tissues, lesions, diseases) - 📐 Image Registration Techniques - 🎨 Image Preprocessing (noise reduction, contrast enhancement) - 🏗️ 3D Reconstruction - 💡 Computer-Aided Detection & Diagnosis systems (CAD) - 🧬 Radiomics & AI in personalized medicine - 🔎 Content-based Image Retrieval - 🌐 Remote biomedical image processing & transmission architectures - 🥽 3D Vision, VR/AR/MR for remote surgery - 🔒 Privacy-preserving AI in medicine - 🧪 Synthetic medical images for model validation - 🏥 Foundation models (Vision Transformers, GPT-based) for analysis & multi-modal data integration - 🛡️ Reliability and robustness of synthetic data - ⚖️ Ethical & Regulatory Issues in AI medical imaging - 📋 Frameworks for ethical AI & compliance with standards - 🧑‍⚖️ Addressing bias, fairness, and transparency with explainable AI 📝 *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Accepted papers will be included in the ICIAP 2025 proceedings, which will be published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS). When preparing your contribution, please follow the guidelines provided on the ICIAP main conference website. The maximum number of pages is 12 including references. Each contribution will be reviewed based on originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance and technical content. The submission will be handled electronically via the Conference's CMT Website: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/AIRCAD2025 Once accepted, the presence of at least one author at the event and the oral presentation of the paper are expected. For more details about the registration see the ICIAP main conference details. 📅 *IMPORTANT DATES* - Paper Submission : 15 June, 2025 - Notifications to Authors : 30 June 2025 - Camera Ready Papers Due : 10 July, 2025 - Workshop Event: 15/16 September, 2025 🎤 *ABSTRACT OF THE TALK (Dr. Carsten Marr)* Diagnosing hematologic malignancies still relies heavily on the subjective visual assessment of cytological and histological images. Experts are increasingly challenged by large volumes of data, the rarity of diagnostic cell types, and the heterogeneous presentation of disease. Despite the availability of comprehensive patient data, advanced deep learning algorithms, and a solid understanding of hematopoiesis, there is currently no robust model capable of automatically analyzing and predicting disease dynamics from blood smears or bone marrow aspirates. In this talk, I will present recent advances in AI-based hematopathology that aim to address key challenges such as model robustness, generalization to real-world data, bias mitigation, and the integration of multimodal sources. I will highlight three promising directions: (1) efficient single-cell detection using neural cellular automata, (2) interpretable feature learning via sparse autoencoders, and (3) the integration of biomedical prior knowledge into model training through customized loss functions. These developments illustrate how tailored AI solutions can bridge the gap between machine learning algorithms and clinical decision-making, paving the way toward more accurate, scalable, and explainable diagnostics in hematology 🩸. 👥 *ORGANIZERS* Albert Comelli, Ri.MED Foundation, acomelli(a)fondazionerimed.com Cecilia Di Ruberto, University of Cagliari, dirubert(a)unica.it Andrea Loddo, University of Cagliari, andrea.loddo(a)unica.it Lorenzo Putzu, University of Cagliari, lorenzo.putzu(a)unica.it Alessandro Stefano, IBSBC - CNR of Cefalù, alessandro.stefano(a)ibfm.cnr.it Luca Zedda, University of Cagliari, luca.zedda(a)unica.it <luca.zedda(a)unica.it> ___________ Andrea Loddo PhD | Dept.

It invites us to reflect on how technological advances continue to redefine our interactions with the digital world. Over the last two decades, the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has evolved rapidly, adapting to innovations that have transformed everyday life. Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Robotics, voice interfaces, wearable devices, and the Internet of Things has brought HCI to the forefront of scientific inquiry, offering novel possibilities and complex challenges. These technologies are not only changing how we use digital systems but also influencing the ways we think, learn, communicate, and interact on a personal, social, and organizational level. This year’s conference aims to inspire a comprehensive dialogue on how these technologies are reshaping the landscape of HCI and redefining the boundaries of human capabilities. Participants will be invited to engage with questions surrounding ethical implications, accessibility, inclusivity, user experience, and the sustainability of emerging technologies. The theme encourages contributors to share insights on methodologies that adapt to these changes, from user-centred design practices to innovative evaluation methods for complex, adaptive systems. We invite submissions of workshops that contribute to the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). — Emanuele Panizzi and Maria Menendez-Blanco Publicity Chairs On behalf of the Chitaly 2025 Organizing Committee <https://chitaly2025.di.unisa.it/327-2/> -- Emanuele Panizzi Associate Professor Head of Gamification Lab Computer Science Department Faculty of Information Engineering, Informatics, and Statistics Sapienza University of Rome, Italy

19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025): Last Mile for Workshop Papers

by Announce

*** Last Mile for Workshop Papers *** 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025 (*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***) (*** Submission Deadline: June 2, 2025 (extended and firm!) ***) The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European forum for presenting and discussing software architecture research and practice. ECSA edition 2025 hosts workshops on topics related to software architecture. The following workshops will be held between September 15-16, 2025: 8th International Workshop on Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures (CASA) https://casaecsa.github.io/casa2025/ Software is becoming increasingly aware of its current execution context. Decisions that were traditionally made at design time are being postponed until runtime to improve the services that software provides to its users. In addition, software reasons about the execution environments and its internal state to improve the functionality provided to its users. Some of the keywords that characterize software today are: context-aware, dynamic, autonomous, smart, adaptive, self-managed. In this context, the Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart Architectures (CASA) workshop aims to address the issues and challenges raised by the design, implementation, and evaluation of software systems characterized by the above keywords. Novel design and development approaches are needed to address the new issues raised by such systems. New solutions are expected to properly address the trade-offs between the various quality attributes that characterize these systems. Or, existing architectural solutions should be adapted and improved to meet the evolving and dynamic requirements of context-aware, autonomous, and intelligent systems. The workshop aims to bring together software engineers, computer scientists, researchers, practitioners, and educators to discuss and exchange results, case studies, experiences, novel approaches, and visionary ideas on software architectures for context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions. 1st International Workshop on Architecting Digital Twin of an Organization (ArchDTO) https://archdto.github.io/archdto2025/ The Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) extends the concept of Digital Twins to create virtual replicas of business models, processes, resources, and interactions. DTOs enable optimization of decision-making, increased efficiency, and adaptability to rapid changes by leveraging real- time data, simulations, AI, and predictive analytics. Despite their transformative potential, DTOs are still in early development, facing significant software architecture challenges such as scalability, interoperability, model robustness, and real-time data integration. This workshop explores the architectural frameworks, design patterns, and software engineering principles needed to build robust DTOs. Topics include frameworks for DTO creation, enterprise modeling methodologies, technological enablers like AI and the Internet of Things, and real-world use cases from academia and industry. Given the novelty of the topic, the workshop consists of two main sessions: (1) presentations of academic and industry papers on DTO architectures, frameworks, and technologies, and (2) an interactive workshop session, where participants will engage in problem-solving, explore case studies, and collaboratively define challenges, solutions, and best practices for architecting DTOs. 1st International Workshop on AI-Assisted Software Architecting (AISA) https://sites.google.com/view/aisasa/home?pli=1 AI-assisted software architecting is transforming how architectural decisions are made, implemented, and maintained. Leveraging artificial intelligence, this paradigm enhances architectural decision making, automates repetitive architecting tasks, and optimizes system designs. The AISA workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore AI’s role in various software architecting activities, including architecture analysis, design, decision-making, evolution, and documentation. We will also discuss AI-driven architectural pattern recommendations, best practices, and the application of AI in continuous architecting and self-adaptive architectures. Topics include AI-assisted architecture synthesis, automated architecture pattern selection, refactoring, security enforcement, and integrating AI into DevOps and MLOps pipelines. The workshop will foster discussions and collaborations between academia and industry to identify open challenges, research directions, and practical applications 5th International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming (AMP) https://amp-workshops.github.io The AMP workshop aims to collect experiences on microservice adoption and reporting best practices, as well as failure cases, to build community knowledge based on past mistakes and successes. We also emphasize the current trend towards AI-driven software engineering practices and the development of data- intensive applications. The workshop seeks for solutions and experiences both on both AI-assisted tooling, and building data-intensive applications and LLMs using microservices. The workshop is open to experience reports from practitioners and academics. We seek to collect original work on the science and engineering of programming microservices. 1st International Workshop on Software Architecture for Data-Intensive Systems (SADIS) https://sadis2025.smartarch.cz Modern software systems increasingly rely on data-centric processes to fuel intelligent features, scalable services, and real-time insights. As these systems evolve, designing effective software architectures for data-intensive environments becomes critical yet challenging. These architectures must address complex concerns such as handling high-velocity data streams, ensuring security and privacy, integrating heterogeneous data sources and heterogeneous computation fabrics (including GPUs/TPUs and edge devices), and adapting to changing workloads. The workshop aims to bring together academic researchers, industry practitioners, and thought leaders to explore cutting-edge approaches for building, deploying, and maintaining robust data-centric solutions. We invite discussions on a range of topics at the intersection of data-intensive systems and software architecture, including machine learning (ML) pipelines, ML Operations (MLOps) frameworks and patterns, domain-specific languages, reference architectures, and visualization techniques. Emphasis is placed on practical experiences, innovative tools and platforms, and theoretical advancements that tackle the ever-growing demands placed on data-intensive systems. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, the workshop seeks to shape the future of data-driven architecture design and empower professionals and researchers to address emerging challenges in this rapidly evolving domain. Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Systems and Architectures (AROSA) https://www.redcad.org/events/arosa2025/ The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners both from the Academia and from the Industry working in the areas of the adaptation and reconfiguration of distributed systems. Different investigation topics are involved, such as: CBSE, Web service, cloud applications, mobile applications, Functional and Non-Functional requirements (QoS, performance, resilience), monitoring, diagnosis, deci- sion and execution of adaptation and reconfiguration. Different research areas are covered: concepts, methods, techniques, and tools to design, develop, deploy and manage adaptive and reconfigurable software systems. The concept of adaptive and reconfigurable software systems has been introduced in order to describe architectures, which exhibit such properties. An adaptive and reconfigurable software system can repair itself if any execution problems occur, in order to successfully complete its own execution, while respecting functional requirements and quality attributes. In the design of an adaptive and reconfigurable software system, several aspects have to be considered. For instance, the system should be able to predict or to detect degradations and failures as soon as possible and to enact suitable recovery actions. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Please refer to the instructions at the workshops' web sites. IMPORTANT DATES • Paper Submission: June 2, 2025 (extended and firm!) • Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: June 20, 2025 • Camera-Ready Submission: June 27, 2025 • Author Registration: June 27, 2025 • Workshop Days: September 15-16, 2025 All dates are 23:59h AoE (anywhere on Earth).

MIT Senseable City Lab Newsletter: May 2025

by MIT Senseable City Lab

Newsletter | May 2025 Air pollution disrupts menstrual cycles [https://senseable.mit.edu/dust-bloom/] Ambient air pollution is responsible for over 4 million premature deaths worldwide each year, with well-documented effects on respiratory and cardiovascular health. But its impact runs deeper — all the way to women’s reproductive systems, as shown by the data analysis of over 2 million menstrual cycles. A groundbreaking new study, Dust Bloom [http://senseable.mit.edu/dust-bloom], reveals a previously underexplored connection: long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with irregular menstrual cycles — a key indicator of women’s overall health. Published in The Lancet Planetary Health [https://senseable.mit.edu/papers/pdf/20250514_deSouza-etal_EvidenceAir_Lanc…], the study is a collaboration between the MIT Senseable City Lab, the University of Colorado Denver [https://www.ucdenver.edu], and Clue [https://helloclue.com], a menstrual health app used by millions globally. Researchers analyzed over 2.2 million menstrual cycles from 92,550 users across 230 cities in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil, spanning 2016 to 2020. This is one of the most comprehensive datasets ever used to investigate environmental effects on menstrual health. “Menstrual cycles are a vital sign of health, yet they’ve been largely ignored in environmental health research,” says Priyanka deSouza, co-author and professor at the University of Colorado Denver. “This study sheds light on a critical, yet often overlooked, consequence of air pollution — particularly for women.” “The integration of large-scale high-res health data and advanced environmental monitoring — including satellite-derived air quality measures — is transforming how we study public health,” says Carlo Ratti. “It’s especially crucial in regions like Latin America, where communities face disproportionate environmental harm.” Dust Bloom not only highlights the hidden costs of pollution on women’s health but also demonstrates the power of digital health data in uncovering insights that might otherwise remain invisible. When science centers sex-specific outcomes, it opens new pathways to protect and promote the well-being of all. Projects Updates, Scientific Papers [https://senseable.mit.edu/data-slots] Global overview of data privacy From tech giants to city governments, data privacy is at the center of today’s most pressing debates. In Humanities and Social Sciences Communications [https://senseable.mit.edu/papers/pdf/20250411_Mazzarello-etal_Data_Slots_HS…] we show that the public's perception of privacy isn’t as rigid as it may seem — and that trust can be built through transparency and inclusion. Based on Data Slots [https://senseable.mit.edu/data-slots], an interactive game played in-person across 18 countries and online in 78 countries, we reveal a compelling insight: people’s attitudes toward privacy shift significantly depending on the context and purpose of data use. A key takeaway for policymakers highlighted by MIT News is that when residents feel they are actively involved in shaping how data is used, privacy concerns begin to decline sharply. [https://senseable.mit.edu/beijing-inside-out/] How policies change domestic spaces A new study reveals how China's rapid urbanization has transformed not only cities but also the design of everyday homes. In Beijing Inside Out [https://senseable.mit.edu/beijing-inside-out/], we used computer vision to analyze over 2,000 apartment floor plans in Beijing, spanning from 1970 to 2020. The results, published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications [https://senseable.mit.edu/papers/pdf/20250320_Yao-etal_BeijingUrbanization_…], show a clear evolution in domestic layouts — with increasingly defined living rooms, dining areas, and kitchens — reflecting a shift toward privacy, multifunctionality, and individuality. These changes align with broader societal trends, including rising incomes, changing family structures, and evolving national housing policies. The study illustrates how large-scale urban and political shifts manifest in the most personal of spaces: the home.

by Andrea Antonio CANTONE

**** We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this Call **** ========================================= *COL-SAI: 1st International Workshop on COllaboration and Learning through Symbiotic Artificial Intelligence* ========================================= co-located with the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter - “*Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer Interaction in the Third Millenium*“ (*CHITALY 2025 <https://chitaly2025.di.unisa.it/>*) Salerno, Italy 6 – 10 October 2025 Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/unisa.it/col-sai <https://sites.google.com/unisa.it/col-sai/home-page> *Call for papers* The rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming the way humans interact with technology. The integration of AI in our daily lives can provide substantial support in many contexts, ranging from medicine to education, improving the performance of both sides in terms of knowledge and resources. Although the traditional approach in creating AI systems focuses on the functionalities and high performance of their models, modern society is witnessing a shift from mere automation to augmentation and collaboration, where AI and humans enhance and learn from each other. A step forward in this direction is enabling humans and AI to work symbiotically together. Symbiosis can be described as a consequence of the human-AI partnership, where human intelligence serves to improve AI systems, and vice versa, through a bidirectional relationship of mutual exchange. This workshop aims to explore how humans and AI systems can effectively collaborate, learn from each other, and co-adapt symbiotically. Through discussions and the exchange of perspectives, the workshop has the goal of investigating the key components of the interaction between the two parties.

[CFP] International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis AIRCAD2025 @ ICIAP2025

by Andrea Loddo

Dear colleagues, please find enclosed the call for papers for the third edition of AIRCAD 2025 @ ICIAP. Kind regards [apologies for multiple postings] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - AIRCAD 2025 @ICIAP 2025 3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis AIRCAD 2025 held in conjunction with the 23rd International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing ICIAP2025, Roma, Italy, September 2025 https://sites.google.com/view/aircad2025 <https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=google.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9zaXRlc…> AIMS AND SCOPE In the modern era, healthcare systems predominantly operate with digital medical data, facilitating a wide array of artificial intelligence applications. There's a growing interest in quantitatively analysing clinical images through techniques like Positron Emission Tomography, Computerised Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, particularly in the realms of texture analysis and radiomics. Through machine and deep learning advancements, researchers can glean insights to enhance the discovery of therapeutic tools, bolster diagnostic decisions, and aid in the rehabilitation process. However, the huge volume of available data may intensify the diagnostic effort, exacerbated by high inter/intra-patient variability, diverse imaging techniques, and the necessity to incorporate data from multiple sensors and sources, thus giving rise to the well-documented domain shift issue. To tackle these challenges, radiologists and pathologists employ Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems, which assist in analysing biomedical images. These systems mitigate or eradicate difficulties arising from inter- and intra-observer variability, ensuring consistent assessments of the same region by the same physician at various times and across different physicians, thanks to adept algorithms. Additionally, significant issues such as delayed or restricted data access, driven by privacy, security, and intellectual property concerns, pose considerable hurdles. Consequently, researchers are increasingly exploring the use of synthetic data, both for model training and for simulating scenarios not observed in real life. Furthermore, the emergence of foundation models, such as Vision Transformers and large multimodal models, represents a paradigm shift in medical image analysis. These models, pre-trained on vast datasets, demonstrate remarkable adaptability across various tasks, including segmentation, classification, and multi-modal integration. Their ability to generalise effectively offers promising avenues for addressing domain shift issues and integrating heterogeneous data sources, enhancing diagnostic and predictive accuracy. This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in biomedical image processing, leveraging machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and radiomics features. Emphasis is placed on practical applications, including potential solutions to address domain shift issues, the utilisation of synthetic images to augment CAD systems, and the integration of foundation models into clinical workflows. Ultimately, the aim is to explore how these techniques can seamlessly integrate into the conventional medical image processing workflow, encompassing image acquisition, retrieval, disease detection, prediction, and classification. TOPICS The workshop calls for submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: - Machine and Deep Learning techniques for image analysis (i.e., segmentation of cells, tissues, organs, lesions; classification of cells, diseases, tumours, etc.) - Image Registration Techniques - Image Preprocessing Techniques (e.g., noise reduction, enhancement of contrast) - Image-based 3D reconstruction - Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis Systems (CADs) to support clinicians in identifying pathological conditions - Radiomics and Artificial intelligence for personalised medicine - Machine and Deep Learning as tools to support medical diagnoses and decisions - Image retrieval (e.g., context-based retrieval, lesion similarity) - Advanced architecture for biomedical image remote processing, elaboration and transmission - 3D Vision, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality application for remote surgery - Image processing techniques for privacy-preserving AI in medicine. - Generation and utilisation of synthetic medical images for model training and validation - Foundation models (e.g., Vision Transformers, GPT-like architectures) for medical image analysis and multi-modal data integration - Techniques for evaluating the reliability and robustness of synthetic data in clinical scenarios - Ethical and Regulatory Aspects in AI-Driven Medical Imaging - Frameworks for ethical AI development and deployment in healthcare. - Addressing biases and ensuring fairness in AI-driven diagnostic systems. - Compliance with regulatory standards for AI-based medical devices - Addressing the transparency issue with explainable AI models in clinical practice. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Accepted papers will be included in the ICIAP 2025 proceedings, which will be published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS). When preparing your contribution, please follow the guidelines provided on the ICIAP main conference website. The maximum number of pages is 12 including references. Each contribution will be reviewed based on originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance and technical content. The submission will be handled electronically via the Conference's CMT Website: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/AIRCAD2025 <https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=microsoft.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9jbX…> Once accepted, the presence of at least one author at the event and the oral presentation of the paper are expected.

1st RAISE Workshop: Resilient AI Framework for Secure and Ethical Machine Learning Systems

by Bernardo Breve

1st RAISE Workshop: Resilient AI Framework for Secure and Ethical Machine Learning Systems co-located with the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter - "Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer Interaction in the Third Millenium” (CHITALY 2025) - https://chitaly2025.di.unisa.it/ Salerno, Italy 6-10 October, 2025 Workshop website: https://raise-ws.github.io/chitaly2025 Call for papers The emerging field of Resilient AI recognizes that technological systems cannot be viewed as isolated, abstract entities. Instead, they need to be understood in their broader socio-technical context, where AI and algorithms function as complex systems shaped by collective and distributive practices. In order to ensure that AI systems are robust, fair and in line with human values, it is crucial to develop methods that enhance their resilience across multiple dimensions, such as reliability, accountability, fairness and ethical integrity. A number of challenges need to be addressed to guarantee resilient AI. These include the need to balance human control and automation to ensure that AI systems remain intuitive, transparent and trustworthy, while adapting to user preferences and needs. Robustness and reliability are critical concerns, requiring mechanisms to detect and mitigate functional and non-functional defects, such as errors, biases and vulnerabilities, to maintain essential properties such as safety and accuracy. Moreover, fairness must be addressed within ML pipelines, embedding techniques that promote inclusivity and unbiased decision-making to prevent discrimination and reinforce social responsibility. Another pressing issue is the verification, validation, and testing of AI models; while advances in AI and search-based software engineering have enabled automated test case generation and validation, empirical studies are still needed to investigate AI defects and their impact on system performance. Furthermore, ensuring high-quality data is a fundamental challenge since effective data profiling, imputation, and anomaly detection must be developed to handle missing values, outliers, and inconsistences, improving overall AI model performance and reliability. The RAISE workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to address challenges including data quality, privacy protection, human-centered AI design, and the validation of machine learning systems. RAISE promotes interdisciplinary discussion to explore innovative techniques and empirical studies for building AI systems that are secure, interpretable, and inclusive. Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: • Data profiling approaches for AI systems • Data quality approaches for AI systems • Tools and metrics to summarize data relationships • Privacy concerns of AI systems • Privacy-preserving machine learning • Ethics and trustworthy AI • Reliability and fairness of AI-based systems • Resilient AI models • Empirical evaluation of resilient AI solutions in real-world cases • Verification and validation methods for AI-based systems • Explainable AI • AI solutions to critical scenarios • Domain-specific AI solutions • AI-based systems for human interaction • AI-based systems for requirements analysis • AI-based adaptive systems • User-centered design solutions for AI-based systems • AR/VR user-centered interfaces for AI-based systems • Adaptation of AR/VR in learning contexts • Neuro-Symbolic AI Important Dates First submission round - Submission deadline: June 13th 2025 - Notification: July 11th 2025 - Camera-ready: July 31st 2025 Second submission round - Submission deadline: September 5th 2025 - Notification: September 12th 2025 - Camera-ready: September 22nd 2025 Submissions and Evaluation Criteria We invite submissions of original research and position papers.

by Stefan Sauer

*(Apologies if you receive multiple e-mails on this subject via different channels!)* https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2025 <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2025> *Call for Papers* International Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering Balancing Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Value *organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodologies for User-Centered Systems Design * *at INTERACT 2025 <https://interact2025.org/> The 20th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction ** * *September 8/9, 2025 Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil* Theme The rapid advancement of digital technologies continues to reshape the way humans interact with software systems, raising critical questions about the balance between human values and the interplay of usability, user experience and automation. In this landscape, Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) plays a pivotal role in ensuring that software development remains aligned with user needs, ethical principles, and broader societal impacts. This edition of the HCSE workshop focuses on the intersection of Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Value, emphasizing the need for new approaches in designing socio-technical systems that integrate intelligent automation while preserving human agency and well-being. With AI-driven decision-making, adaptive interfaces, and autonomous systems becoming ubiquitous, it is crucial to explore how software engineering can accommodate these innovations while maintaining transparency, fairness, and user trust. Beyond the traditional themes of IFIP 13.2 workshops, this edition invites contributions fostering discussion among researchers and practitioners, to advance the dialogue on how HCSE can evolve to meet the demands of modern digital ecosystems while staying true to its human-centric principles. Contributions are invited that explore innovative methodologies, design principles, and case studies that highlight how intelligent software systems can be designed to enhance, rather than diminish, human experience. The ultimate goal is to develop approaches that harmonize interaction, artificial intelligence, and human value, fostering the creation of software that is not only powerful and efficient, but also trustworthy, inclusive, and ethically responsible. This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized at INTERACT 2015 in Bamberg, Germany <https://www.irit.fr/recherches/ICS/events/conferences/workshop-IFIPWG13.2-B…>, INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India <http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>, INTERACT 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifip-wg-13-2-workshop-interact/home>, INTERACT 2021 in Bari, Italy <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/>, and INTERACT 2023 in York, UK. Target Audience and Expected Outcomes This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human–computer interaction from a user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this workshop focus on methods, processes and approaches for designing, building and testing inter-active systems. We expect a high participation of IFIP Working Group 13.2 members. We particularly invite participants to present position papers describing real-life case studies that illustrate how they rethought HCI’s and SE’s interplay in order to address aspects such as agile development, sustainability, artificial intelligence, ethical considerations, and cybersecurity.

We are interested in learning about software architecture principles and practices, emergence trends and case studies highlighting strategic architectural choices that can lead to enhanced performance, improved collaboration, and long-term sustainability. The overarching question is how these architectural principles and practices, both well-established and emerging, are making an impact in real-world systems, and how that impact is being felt across various domains, from enterprise systems to more novel areas like, e.g., AI-driven or autonomous applications? Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Foundational principles of software architecture • Relationship of requirements engineering and software architecture • Quality attributes and software architectures • Architecture practices for secure, explainable, and trustworthy software • Architecture design and analysis • Architecture description languages and meta-models • Architecture verification and validation • Management of architectural knowledge, decisions, and rationale • Architecture patterns, styles, and tactics; reference architectures • Architecture viewpoints and views • Architecture conformance • Software architecture virtualization and visualization • Architecture-centric process models and frameworks • Software architecture and agile, incremental, iterative, and continuous development • Component-based models and deployment; middleware • Software architecture and system architecture • Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software engineering • Ethics, cultural, economic, business, social, human, and managerial aspects of software architecture • Architecture and technical debt • Architecting for sustainable and environment friendly systems • Applying AI and LLMs in software architecture and architecting for AI and LLM intensive systems • Software architecture education • Cross-disciplinary approaches to software architecture • Architectures for reconfigurable and self-adaptive systems • Architectural concerns of autonomic systems • Software architecture applied to new and emerging areas, such as the cloud/edge, big data, blockchain, cyber-physical systems, IoT, autonomous systems, systems-of-systems, energy- aware software, quantum computing, AI-enabled systems • Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews, and mapping studies in software architecture • Diversity, equity, and inclusion in activities related to software architecture TOOLS AND DEMOS The Tools and Demonstrations (Tools & Demos) Track provides an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent advances, ideas, experiences, and challenges in the field of Software Architecture by means of Tools & Demos presentations. Tools & Demos papers are intended to address any aspect of: (i) tool support for software architectures, or (ii) demonstrate results about the application of architectural approaches. Papers submitted to this track can belong to two distinct categories: • Tool papers: These papers deal with the development and evaluation of tools to support software architecture. They may present new tools, extensions to existing tools, or evaluations of the effectiveness of tools. The aim is to provide a platform for the exchange of innovative tools and techniques that help design, implement and analyze software architectures. • Demo papers: These papers will demonstrate concepts, techniques or systems related to software architectures. The focus is on presenting practical applications and implementations of architectural approaches. Demo papers may include live demonstrations, prototypes or simulations that emphasize the benefits and potential of specific architecture solutions. Both Tool Papers and Demo Papers contribute to the advancement of the field by providing insights, experiences and practical solutions related to software architectures. Tools and Demos should not be used as a means for commercial advertisement. We will strive to keep ECSA’s tradition to select the Best Tools & Demo Paper, awarded during the conference. The selection of the best tool and demo paper will be made based on the votes of the attendants of the conference. Submissions of Tools & Demos papers should describe the work, how it relates to other industrial or research efforts, including references, what the expected benefits are, a video of the tool or demo (if one exists), and the web-page and/or open-source repository for the tool (if one exists). All submissions must conform to the LNCS template and must not exceed 8 pages. Tools & Demos submissions should provide a link to a video, with audio commentary, of a maximum of ten minutes in length, with high resolution (e.g., details of the tool’s functionality should be clearly visible). The video must be uploaded on a server (e.g., YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox), and the link must be included in the submission for its evaluation (as a footnote on the first page of the submission or as links after the abstract of the submission). In addition, it is possible to provide open material, e.g., source code and/or a running instance of the tool. The links to the video and (if applicable) the additional material should be included in the contribution after the abstract and before the introduction sections. Paper submissions must be made electronically via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2024 conference, selecting the “Tools & Demos Track”: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2025 . The selection criteria of Tools & Demos papers will consider their originality, relevance for the ECSA audience, technical soundness, and presentation quality. Each submission will be evaluated by at least two PC members, in a single-step review process. The accepted papers will be included in the ECSA 2025 companion volume to be published in Springer LNCS series. IMPORTANT DATES • Abstract submission: May 16, 2025 • Paper submission: May 23, 2025 • Notification: June 20, 2025 • Camera-ready paper: June 27, 2025 Early/Author registration for all accepted contributions: June 27, 2025 All dates are 23:59h AoE (Anywhere on Earth).

19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025): Last Call for Workshop Papers

by Announce

*** Last Call for Workshop Papers *** 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025 (*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***) The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European forum for presenting and discussing software architecture research and practice. ECSA edition 2025 hosts workshops on topics related to software architecture. The following workshops will be held between September 15-16, 2025: 8th International Workshop on Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures (CASA) https://casaecsa.github.io/casa2025/ Software is becoming increasingly aware of its current execution context. Decisions that were traditionally made at design time are being postponed until runtime to improve the services that software provides to its users. In addition, software reasons about the execution environments and its internal state to improve the functionality provided to its users. Some of the keywords that characterize software today are: context-aware, dynamic, autonomous, smart, adaptive, self-managed. In this context, the Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart Architectures (CASA) workshop aims to address the issues and challenges raised by the design, implementation, and evaluation of software systems characterized by the above keywords. Novel design and development approaches are needed to address the new issues raised by such systems. New solutions are expected to properly address the trade-offs between the various quality attributes that characterize these systems. Or, existing architectural solutions should be adapted and improved to meet the evolving and dynamic requirements of context-aware, autonomous, and intelligent systems. The workshop aims to bring together software engineers, computer scientists, researchers, practitioners, and educators to discuss and exchange results, case studies, experiences, novel approaches, and visionary ideas on software architectures for context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions. 1st International Workshop on Architecting Digital Twin of an Organization (ArchDTO) https://archdto.github.io/archdto2025/ The Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) extends the concept of Digital Twins to create virtual replicas of business models, processes, resources, and interactions. DTOs enable optimization of decision-making, increased efficiency, and adaptability to rapid changes by leveraging real- time data, simulations, AI, and predictive analytics. Despite their transformative potential, DTOs are still in early development, facing significant software architecture challenges such as scalability, interoperability, model robustness, and real-time data integration. This workshop explores the architectural frameworks, design patterns, and software engineering principles needed to build robust DTOs. Topics include frameworks for DTO creation, enterprise modeling methodologies, technological enablers like AI and the Internet of Things, and real-world use cases from academia and industry. Given the novelty of the topic, the workshop consists of two main sessions: (1) presentations of academic and industry papers on DTO architectures, frameworks, and technologies, and (2) an interactive workshop session, where participants will engage in problem-solving, explore case studies, and collaboratively define challenges, solutions, and best practices for architecting DTOs. 1st International Workshop on AI-Assisted Software Architecting (AISA) https://sites.google.com/view/aisasa/home?pli=1 AI-assisted software architecting is transforming how architectural decisions are made, implemented, and maintained. Leveraging artificial intelligence, this paradigm enhances architectural decision making, automates repetitive architecting tasks, and optimizes system designs. The AISA workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore AI’s role in various software architecting activities, including architecture analysis, design, decision-making, evolution, and documentation. We will also discuss AI-driven architectural pattern recommendations, best practices, and the application of AI in continuous architecting and self-adaptive architectures. Topics include AI-assisted architecture synthesis, automated architecture pattern selection, refactoring, security enforcement, and integrating AI into DevOps and MLOps pipelines. The workshop will foster discussions and collaborations between academia and industry to identify open challenges, research directions, and practical applications 5th International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming (AMP) https://amp-workshops.github.io The AMP workshop aims to collect experiences on microservice adoption and reporting best practices, as well as failure cases, to build community knowledge based on past mistakes and successes. We also emphasize the current trend towards AI-driven software engineering practices and the development of data- intensive applications. The workshop seeks for solutions and experiences both on both AI-assisted tooling, and building data-intensive applications and LLMs using microservices. The workshop is open to experience reports from practitioners and academics. We seek to collect original work on the science and engineering of programming microservices. 1st International Workshop on Software Architecture for Data-Intensive Systems (SADIS) https://sadis2025.smartarch.cz Modern software systems increasingly rely on data-centric processes to fuel intelligent features, scalable services, and real-time insights. As these systems evolve, designing effective software architectures for data-intensive environments becomes critical yet challenging. These architectures must address complex concerns such as handling high-velocity data streams, ensuring security and privacy, integrating heterogeneous data sources and heterogeneous computation fabrics (including GPUs/TPUs and edge devices), and adapting to changing workloads. The workshop aims to bring together academic researchers, industry practitioners, and thought leaders to explore cutting-edge approaches for building, deploying, and maintaining robust data-centric solutions. We invite discussions on a range of topics at the intersection of data-intensive systems and software architecture, including machine learning (ML) pipelines, ML Operations (MLOps) frameworks and patterns, domain-specific languages, reference architectures, and visualization techniques. Emphasis is placed on practical experiences, innovative tools and platforms, and theoretical advancements that tackle the ever-growing demands placed on data-intensive systems. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, the workshop seeks to shape the future of data-driven architecture design and empower professionals and researchers to address emerging challenges in this rapidly evolving domain. Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Systems and Architectures (AROSA) https://www.redcad.org/events/arosa2025/ The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners both from the Academia and from the Industry working in the areas of the adaptation and reconfiguration of distributed systems. Different investigation topics are involved, such as: CBSE, Web service, cloud applications, mobile applications, Functional and Non-Functional requirements (QoS, performance, resilience), monitoring, diagnosis, deci- sion and execution of adaptation and reconfiguration. Different research areas are covered: concepts, methods, techniques, and tools to design, develop, deploy and manage adaptive and reconfigurable software systems. The concept of adaptive and reconfigurable software systems has been introduced in order to describe architectures, which exhibit such properties. An adaptive and reconfigurable software system can repair itself if any execution problems occur, in order to successfully complete its own execution, while respecting functional requirements and quality attributes. In the design of an adaptive and reconfigurable software system, several aspects have to be considered. For instance, the system should be able to predict or to detect degradations and failures as soon as possible and to enact suitable recovery actions. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Please refer to the instructions at the workshops' web sites.
