August 25-29, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
We are pleased to invite abstract submissions for the workshop *“Robots
for Humans: Empowerment Through Co-Creative and Social Robots”*, which
will be held in conjunction with the *RO-MAN 2025 Conference*, in
Eindhoven, The Netherlands, on August 29^th , 2025.
The workshop aims to explore the intersection of social robotics,
creativity, and human empowerment. We focus on how co-creative and
social robots can support and enhance human agency, expression,
learning, and wellbeing, especially in vulnerable populations and
non-standard interaction contexts. As robotics moves beyond task
efficiency, we aim to reimagine robots as collaborative partners that
enrich human lives through co-creation, empathy, and mutual adaptation.
The workshop offers the opportunity to experiment, connect, and shape
the future of HRI to researchers, designers, artists, and developers.
Desired outcomes cover social robotics in the direction of designing
robots for empowerment and co-creativity, insights into how HRI design
choices affect the interaction, socialness, and outcomes on empowerment,
and co-creativity. The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion to
synthesize findings and discuss general issues related to the role and
perception of social robots, working towards guidelines for the design
of social robots for creative empowerment.
We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners in HRI, AI,
psychology, design, arts, education, healthcare, and other related
fields. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* The role of (mini-c) creativity in the context of “everyday” HRI.
* The design of human-robot interactions in art settings.
* Social robots for creativity support.
* Designing for human-robot co-creativity.
* The design of robots with (verbal and non-verbal) social capabilities.
* The evaluation of socialness perception in human-robot interactions.
* The study of the relationship between human-likeness and socialness.
* The application of theoretical principles in applied robotics research.
* Design principles for empowerment and inclusion.
* Robot adaptive application for marginalized groups.
* Involvement of stakeholders’ perspective in design and implementation.
* AI and LLM application to empower and co-creation in HRI.
We particularly welcome interdisciplinary and speculative approaches
that challenge existing paradigms and propose new directions for
socially intelligent robotics.
We invite authors to submit an extended abstract (up to 2 pages,
excluding references) in IEEE format, outlining their research, ideas,
or ongoing work relevant to the workshop themes. Submissions will be
lightly peer-reviewed by the organizers based on relevance, originality,
and potential for discussion.
Please submit your abstract in PDF format via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/cfp/RfH2025). Accepted abstracts will be
presented during the workshop as short talks or posters, depending on
the number and type of submissions. We aim to foster a lively,
inclusive, and interdisciplinary dialogue.
Important Dates
* Deadline for abstract submission: July 21^st , 2025.

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.

🧠 *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.

🎤 *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 🩸.

The theme of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter
(CHItaly 2025) is “Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer
Interaction in the Third Millennium”. 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).

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 theme of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter
(CHItaly 2025) is “Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer
Interaction in the Third Millennium”. 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).

*** 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.

Digital games have become one of the most influential forms of
entertainment and interactive media, extending their impact beyond leisure
into education, health, behavior change, and more. Artificial Intelligence
(AI) is playing an increasingly vital role in shaping these experiences,
enabling adaptive gameplay, dynamic content generation, and the creation of
intelligent non-player characters. AI not only enhances player immersion
but also expands the possibilities for storytelling, accessibility, and
personalized experiences.
The AI4HGI workshop aims to explore the evolving role of AI in human-game
interaction by addressing key research questions, including:
* How AI can enhance player immersion and engagement in digital games?
* How can AI contribute to adaptive storytelling and personalized player
experiences?
* How can AI systems balance computational efficiency with the complexity
of game interactions?
* How can generative AI impact game design and creativity?
* How should ethical considerations such as transparency, fairness, and
data privacy be addressed in AI-driven game development?
In answering these questions, the AI4HGI workshop aims to provide a
platform for researchers to discuss innovative solutions, share insights,
and identify new research directions. By fostering dialogue at the
intersection of AI and game development, the workshop seeks to advance the
field and contribute to shaping the next generation of intelligent and

*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. Participants will gain deeper insights into the implications of
integrating AI into various aspects of daily life, facilitating
problem-solving activities such as learning, decision-making, and
co-creation.
*Topics*
The topics that will be addressed in the workshop are the following:
- The impact of a symbiotic human-AI relationship in collaborative
environments.
- Human-Computer Interaction methodologies and techniques to foster
symbiosis between humans and AI.
- Using AI in human learning processes to assist humans cognitively.
- Using AI for education and skill development.
- Methodologies and techniques for transferring knowledge between humans
and AI through feedback mechanisms.
- Ethical considerations in human-AI collaborative environments (bias
mitigation, fairness, non-discrimination, etc).
- AI adaptability for personalized interaction experiences based on
individuals' requirements.
- The role of trustworthiness in human-AI collaboration for critical
activities.
- Design and evaluation of systems that foster and support human-AI
collaboration.
- Case studies of AI in real-world applications (medicine, healthcare,
education, etc).

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

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.

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

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. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface design are
welcome.
We are especially interested in work that deals with current trends that change
the way humans develop, use, interact and collaborate with technical components
in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and
tools for managing context of use and autonomous adaptation at design and
run-time. Position papers will be made available through the workshop website.
Furthermore, an extended version of selected papers will be considered for
inclusion in a Springer LNCS post-proceedings volume published in conjunction
with the other INTERACT workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups.
Workshop Format
This full-day workshop is in person only. It is organized around presentation of
position papers and working activities in small groups. From the set of
contributions, a subset of selected case studies will be invited to be presented
at the beginning of the workshop and will be used to support the discussion that
follows.
The morning session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and presenting
case studies. Participants will be invited to comment on the case studies and to
report similar experiences. The afternoon sessions will be devoted to
interactive sessions, where participants will be engaged to work in small groups
and propose solutions to the problems of the case studies seen in the morning.
Solutions proposed by the participants will be compiled and compared. Based on
the lessons learned, participants will be incited to draft an agenda of future
work that can be accomplished.
We plan to run the workshop onsite in person only. If circumstances require it,
we intend to switch to a completely digital format that will be run online. We
will continuously adapt to any decision regarding the conference format by the
INTERACT 2025 organizers.
