Call for Participation: Workshop on Age-Inclusive Interfaces

by Sayan Sarcar

Apologies for the cross-posting Workshop on Age-Inclusive Interfaces: Emerging Mobile, Conversational, and Generative AI to Support Interactions across the Life Span ( https://speech-interaction.org/CUI2025-OA/) - Colocating with ACM Conversational User Interface (CUI) 2025 conference ------------------------------------------------------- This multidisciplinary workshop aims to tackle the significant gaps in theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and exploration of new paradigms within the research and design of age-inclusive Mobile, Hands-Free, Conversational User Interfaces, especially those leveraging recent advances in Generative AI and Large Language Models. 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).

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.

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).

by Announce

*** Last Call for Papers *** 37th IFIP International Conference on Testing Software and Systems (ICTSS 2025) September 17-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/ictss-2025 (*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***) (*** Special Journal Issue with SN Computer Science, Springer ***) (*** Submission Deadline: June 2, 2025 (extended and firm!) ***) IFIP-ICTSS is a well-established conference where researchers, developers, testers, and users from industry get together to present and discuss the most recent innovations, experiences and open challenges related to testing software and systems and measuring software quality. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ■ AI for Software Testing and Testing of AI: the growing interest in the use of AI has also spread in to various aspects of software testing. In addition, work is underway to test and validate AI systems/applications (machine learning, expert systems, neural networks). ■ Aspects of testing: test derivation, test selection, test generation, test coverage, test concretization, test implementation and execution, test result analysis, test oracle, verdict computation, test management, active testing and passive testing, monitoring and runtime verification. ■ Testing new technologies: this year we encourage submissions focused on testing Large Language Models (LLMs), audit machine learning systems (especially for applications to Health) and Quantum systems (programs, computers, and simulators). ■ Diversity on testing: diverse generation, selecting diverse test suites, foundations of testing and diversity, applications of entropy and Kolmogorov complexity on test suite diversity. ■ Theoretical approaches: formalisms (such as automata, state machines, process algebra, logics, Markov-chains...), testing frameworks, results for compositionality, refinement, soundness and completeness, addressing complex systems, heterogeneous or hybrid systems. ■ Modelling languages (such as UML, MATLAB, Simulink, Modelica...) and associated tooling for model-based testing: test generation from models, model-based oracles. Scalability, traceability, quantification issues. Automated support of any parts of the testing activities, testing processes, test-driven development, sound metrics and measurements. ■ Testing of quality aspects: Functional, interoperability, unit, integration, performance, load, conformance, non-regression, reliability, robustness. ■ Security Testing: methodologies and techniques for continuous security assessment, security monitoring, security review, penetration testing, verification of certification compliance; automation of security testing processes. ■ Testing emerging technologies: quantum systems (programs, computers, and simulators), genetic algorithms, metaverse, and any other technology in the early stages of testing. ■ Human Aspects of Testing: human psychology and management attitude play major roles in formulating and adopting testing in practice. ■ Cross domains and combination of techniques: using other techniques such as proof, model-checking, symbolic execution, abstract interpretation, static analysis, simulation, model learning, ... to improve quality and reduce the effort in testing processes. ■ Cross domains and combination of techniques: using other techniques such as proof, model-checking, symbolic execution, abstract interpretation, static analysis, simulation, model learning, machine learning, expert systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms... to improve quality and reduce the effort in testing processes. ■ Application aspects and case studies: Communicating systems such as cyberphysical systems, systems of systems, embedded systems, web services systems, smart grids, cloud computing systems, business information systems, real-time systems, distributed and concurrent systems. Case studies and industrial applications involving qualified empirical evaluations. IFIP-ICTSS Invites: Full papers (12 to 15 pages plus at most 2 extra pages for references in the one-column Springer LNCS format) describing original research contributions with sufficient evidence for the interest of the proposed approach. Industry papers (12 to 15 pages plus at most 2 extra pages for references in the one-column Springer LNCS format) describing original research or experience report conducted within an industrial environment or in collaboration with an industry partner. Short papers or work-in-progress papers (up to 6 pages plus at most 1 extra page for references in the one-column Springer LNCS format) describing academic work in progress or tool implementations, as well as testing processes, achievements and feedback on testing methods for industrial case studies. Journal-First. The aim of the Journal-First (JF) submission category is to further enrich the program of ICTSS, as well as to provide an overall more flexible path to publication and dissemination of original research that is within the scope of ICTSS. A submission in this category must adhere to the following criteria: ■ It should be clearly within the scope of the conference. ■ It should be recent: it should have been accepted and made publicly available in a journal (online or in print) by January 1, 2023 or more recently. ■ It has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, Journal- First tracks of other conferences or workshops. ■ The submission has to be in the form of a 4-page extended abstract and has to provide a concise summary of the published journal paper. ■ It must be marked as such in the submission’s, and must explicitly include full bibliographic details (including a DOI) of the journal publication they are based on. Since the referenced journal papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the corresponding journals, submissions in the JF category will not be reviewed again for technical content. Submissions will be judged on the basis of the above criteria, but also considering how well they would complement the conference’s technical program. Accepted submissions in this category will be part of the proceedings of ICTSS 2025, with the title equal to the original title of the article with the prefix. The submission link is: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ictss2025 The papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS volume. Authors should consult Springer’s Instructions for Authors of Proceedings (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) and use either the LaTeX or the Word templates provided on the authors’ page. Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are available in Overleaf. Authors are encouraged to include their ORCIDs in their papers. Journal Special Issue Best papers of the conference will be invited to submit an extended version of their article at a special (topical) issue of the Springer Nature of Computer Science (https://link.springer.com/journal/42979). Deadline will be near the end of December 2025 with a tentative publication date for the middle 2026. Collocation ICTSS 2025 will be collocated with the 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025).
