A Message from the RecSys 2026 General Chairs

by Noemi Mauro

A Message from the RecSys 2026 General Chairs Many of you have reached out to express concern over the situation in Minneapolis, to ask about our safety, and to ask about the feasibility of attending RecSys 2026 in Minneapolis. First, we want to thank all of you who have written to express concern. We, our families, and our students are well, though the past few weeks have been stressful. We are actively monitoring developments and are optimistic that we will soon return to the safe and vibrant Minneapolis we are used to -- and do so long before the conference date. Nonetheless, we are also being prudent by exploring potential contingency options to ensure we can always put the RecSys community's safety first. We will provide updates as the situation changes. We also have heard from people concerned about the experience of getting visas and securing entry in the US generally. We are also monitoring this situation--right now we are seeing some modest slowdowns but otherwise the experience of international attendees to US conferences is largely unchanged. We have made certain changes in the conference timeline to accommodate these increased times, including setting an early student volunteer date (in addition to a later one) so that international SVs can start the visa request process early. We also want to assure you that we are committed to supporting the presentation of all accepted authors -- this is an in-person conference, but authors who make a good-faith effort to attend (e.g., apply for a visa but are unable to obtain it, or have other similar obstacles) will be given an opportunity to present remotely. We are also working to ensure that conference papers are accompanied by recorded presentations in the ACM Digital Library and that authors are invited to post-conference Q&A sessions online so those who cannot attend the conference can still benefit from the content and interact with authors. Thank you again for your expressions of concern. We will provide updates as we know more. Gedas Adomavicius George Karypis Joe Konstan RecSys 2026 General Chairs

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

by Elodie Bouzekri

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

by Tommaso Turchi

*[Apologies for cross-posting]* Please share widely with interested colleagues and networks! SYNERGY 2026: Workshop on Designing and Building Hybrid Human-AI Systems Co-located with AVI 2026 (18th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces) June 8-12, 2026 - San Servolo Island, Venice, Italy https://synergy.trx.li/ *Important Dates:* - Submission Deadline: March 29, 2026 (AoE) - Notification: April 10, 2026 *ABOUT* In 1960, Joseph Licklider envisioned "Man-Computer Symbiosis" where computation would augment human intellect. Today, as AI becomes increasingly integrated into creative and decision-making processes, the challenge is to design systems that genuinely augment human capabilities through meaningful collaboration—moving beyond human-in-the-loop approaches where humans function as mere cogs in the machine. Following successful editions at AVI 2024 and HHAI 2025 (https://synergy.trx.li), this third workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to advance both theoretical frameworks and practical implementations that preserve human agency while leveraging AI's computational power. Aligned with AVI 2026's theme of "Interactive Creativity: Agencies, Interfaces, and Ethics," we focus on designing truly synergistic human-AI systems where both partners contribute their unique strengths to creative and decision-making processes. *TOPICS* We invite submissions addressing (but not limited to): • Human-AI collaboration models and interaction patterns • Design principles for synergistic systems that preserve human agency • Adaptive interfaces for human-AI partnership • Ethics, trust, and transparency in human-AI interaction • Interactive decision-making systems and dynamic task allocation • Evaluation methods for assessing human-AI collaboration effectiveness • Cognitive augmentation and distribution in co-creative systems • Software architectures and implementation patterns for collaborative AI systems • Visual interfaces for explainable and interpretable AI • Case studies and real-world applications of human-AI synergy • Creative agency in AI-augmented workflows • Bias mitigation and fairness in collaborative decision-making *SUBMISSION* • Format: CEUR-WS single column format • Length: Minimum 5 pages • Submit via Microsoft CMT: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SYNERGY2026 • Accepted papers will be published in a dedicated CEUR-WS proceedings volume • Authors of outstanding contributions will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue in Interacting with Computers *ORGANIZERS* • Tommaso Turchi, University of Pisa, Italy • Alan Dix, Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK • Ben Wilson, Swansea University, UK • Matt Roach, Swansea University, UK • Alessio Malizia, University of Pisa, Italy *For more information:* Website: https://synergy.trx.li/ Contact: tommaso.turchi(a)unipi.it

Rooted in pioneering research on visual interfaces characterized by a distinctive attention to the human factor, the conference has evolved across the different waves of Human-Computer Interaction. It has addressed the pragmatic and hedonic needs of heterogeneous groups of users up to the current challenge of self-actualization. Creativity is a core behavior that leads to the realization of a person’s full potential, and the explosion of generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges to human creativity. They address fundamental issues related to agencies, interfaces, and ethics. AVI 2026 will take place in San Servolo, a small island in Venice. This delicate and fragile ecosystem provides the ideal venue for reflecting, reframing, and speculating about creative solutions to more sustainable, inclusive and rewarding technological futures. AVI is an International Conference considering the nationality of participants, authors, and organizing committees. However, it has always taken place in Italy, thus complementing a strong and diverse research program with carefully selected cultural and social activities alongside a distinct sense of hospitality and conviviality. The conference is held under the patronage of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy. We look forward to your participation in AVI 2026!

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

by Announce

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