AVI 2026: Advanced Visual Interfaces - Call for Contributions

by Gennari Rosella

18th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI) 2026 Interactive Creativity: Agencies, Interfaces, and Ethics ====================================== 8-12 June 2026 Venice, Italy http://unive.it/avi2026 In-Cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB ====================================== IMPORTANT DATES Workshop proposals: * Submission: December 14, 2025 * Notification: December 21, 2025 Long and Short papers: * Abstract submission: January 18, 2026 * Paper submission: January 25, 2026 Interactive Experiences, Demo and Poster papers: * March 9, 2026 Doctoral Consortium papers: * March 29, 2026 Tutorial proposals: * March 29, 2026 (all deadlines are 23:59, AoE) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Since its first edition in 1992, AVI has become an influential space for encounters among scholars and practitioners interested in interfaces, interactions, and experiences. 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!

The authors of a poster also need to prepare a real poster to be shown during the conference. For presentation purposes at the conference, the authors must prepare the poster in portrait format. 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. Scientific papers: We invite papers (not exceeding 6 pages in length), describing innovative computer-based medical devices or software applications, including practical experiences with such innovations. The papers should be scholarly articles presenting scientific methods, measurements, and experiments. Marketing and sales materials will not be accepted. These papers will be evaluated based on practicality, innovation, scientific rigor, value of the device or application to users, and novelty. They will be published in the proceedings of the conference along with the other papers under this track. Examples of such papers could include but are not limited to: • Computer-based medical devices that have technical/scientific novelty • Computer-based medical applications intended for or recently introduced in the field • Novel uses of traditional equipment in practice • Experience papers based on use and data from the field • Insightful measurement-based analysis of computer-based medical systems from the field • Novel analysis providing new insights from data collected from the field • New and practical data analytics useful in practice • Real deployments of AI solutions in medicine Demonstrations: A demonstration is more appropriate if the value can be better expressed with a demonstration rather than in a full-length paper. The topics for the demonstration papers are the same as the scientific for this track. Please submit a proposal of your demonstration with a limit of two pages. Research projects/initiatives: CBMS aims in this edition to receive submissions about research or innovation projects funded by, mainly, competitive calls to present their project. We foresee to receive submissions which include details about the project goals, consortium and results (expected and any tentative result obtained so far). Only projects funded by competitive calls or with strong potential interest for the community will be considered. International projects organized in a consortium of several countries will have preference.

A list of these workshops, with a short description and the workshops' websites for further information, follows below. AgentCraft: Workshop on Agentic AI Systems Development (full-day workshop) Organizers: Karthik Dinakar (Pienso), Justin D. Weisz (IBM Research), Henry Lieberman (MIT CSAIL), Werner Geyer (IBM Research) URL: https://agentcraft-iui.github.io/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> Ambitious efforts are underway to build AI agents powered by large language models across many domains. Despite emerging frameworks, key challenges remain: autonomy, reasoning, unpredictable behavior, and consequential actions. Developers struggle to comprehend and debug agent behaviors, as well as determine when human oversight is needed. Intelligent interfaces that enable meaningful oversight of agentic plans, decisions, and actions are needed to foster transparency, build trust, and manage complexity. We will explore interfaces for mixed-initiative collaboration during agent development and deployment, design patterns for debugging agent behaviors, strategies for determining developer control and oversight, and evaluation methods grounding agent performance in real-world impact. AI CHAOS! 1st Workshop on the Challenges for Human Oversight of AI Systems (full-day workshop) Organizers: Tim Schrills (University of Lübeck), Patricia Kahr (University of Zurich), Markus Langer (University of Freiburg), Harmanpreet Kaur (University of Minnesota), Ujwal Gadiraju (Delft University of Technology) URL: https://sites.google.com/view/aichaos/iui-2026?authuser=0<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> As AI permeates high-stakes domains—healthcare, autonomous driving, criminal justice —failures can endanger safety and rights. Human oversight is vital to mitigate harm, yet methods and concepts remain unclear despite regulatory mandates. Poorly designed oversight risks false safety and blurred accountability. This interdisciplinary workshop unites AI, HCI, psychology, and regulation research to close this gap. Central questions are: How can systems enable meaningful oversight? Which methods convey system states and risks? How can interventions scale? Through papers, talks, and interactive discussions, participants will map challenges, define stakeholder roles, survey tools, methods, and regulations, and set a collaborative research agenda. CURE 2026: Communicating Uncertainty to foster Realistic Expectations via Human- Centered Design (half-day workshop) Organizers: Jasmina Gajcin (IBM Research), Jovan Jeromela (Trinity College Dublin), Joel Wester (Aalborg University), Sarah Schömbs (University of Melbourne), Styliani Kleanthous (Open University of Cyprus), Karthikeyan Natesan Ramamurthy (IBM Research), Hanna Hauptmann (Utrecht University), Rifat Mehreen Amin (LMU Munich) URL: https://cureworkshop.github.io/cure-2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> Communicating system uncertainty is essential for achieving transparency and can help users calibrate their trust in, reliance on, and expectations from an AI system. However, uncertainty communication is plagued by challenges such as cognitive biases, numeracy skills, calibrating risk perception, and increased cognitive load, with research finding that lay users can struggle to interpret probabilities and uncertainty visualizations. HealthIUI 2026: Workshop on Intelligent and Interactive Health User Interfaces (half-day workshop) Organizers: Peter Brusilovsky (University of Pittsburgh), Behnam Rahdari (Stanford University), Shriti Raj (Stanford University), Helma Torkamaan (TU Delft) URL: https://healthiui.github.io/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> As AI transforms health and care, integrating Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) in wellness applications offers substantial opportunities and challenges. This workshop brings together experts from HCI, AI, healthcare, and related fields to explore how IUIs can enhance long-term engagement, personalization, and trust in health systems. Emphasis is on interdisciplinary approaches to create systems that are advanced, responsive to user needs, mindful of context, ethics, and privacy. Through presentations, discussions, and collaborative sessions, participants will address key challenges and propose solutions to drive health IUI innovation. MIRAGE: Misleading Impacts Resulting from AI-Generated Explanations (full-day workshop) Organizers: Simone Stumpf (University of Glasgow), Upol Ehsan (Northeastern University), Elizabeth M. Daly (IBM Research), Daniele Quercia (Nokia Bell Labs) URL: https://mirage-workshop.github.io<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> Explanations from AI systems can illuminate, yet they can misguide. MIRAGE at IUI tackles pitfalls and dark patterns in AI explanations. Evidence now shows that explanations may inflate unwarranted trust, warp mental models, and obscure power asymmetries—even when designers intend no harm. We classify XAI harms as Dark Patterns (intentional, e.g., trust-boosting placebos) and Explainability Pitfalls (unintended effects without manipulative intent). These harms include error propagation (model risks), over-reliance (interaction risks), and false security (systemic risks). We convene an interdisciplinary group to define, detect, and mitigate these risks. MIRAGE shifts focus to safe explanations, advancing accountable, human-centered AI. PARTICIPATE-AI: Exploring the Participatory Turn in Citizen-Centred AI (half-day workshop) Organizers: Pam Briggs (Northumbria University), Cristina Conati (University of British Columbia), Shaun Lawson (Northumbria University), Kyle Montague (Northumbria University), Hugo Nicolau (University of Lisbon), Ana Cristina Pires (University of Lisbon), Sebastien Stein (University of Southampton), John Vines (University of Edinburgh) URL: https://sites.google.com/view/participate-ai/workshop<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> This workshop explores value alignment for participatory AI, focusing on interfaces and tools that bridge citizen participation and technical development. As AI systems increasingly impact society, meaningful and actionable citizen input in their development becomes critical. However, current participatory approaches often fail to influence actual AI systems, with citizen values becoming trivialized. This workshop will address challenges such as risk articulation, value evolution, democratic legitimacy, and the translation gap between community input and system implementation. Topics include value elicitation within different communities, critical analysis of failed participatory attempts, and methods for making citizen concerns actionable for developers. SHAPEXR: Shaping Human-AI-Powered Experiences in XR (full-day workshop) Organizers: Giuseppe Caggianese (National Research Council of Italy, Institute for High-Performance Computing and Networking Napoli), Marta Mondellini (National Research Council of Italy, Institute of Intelligent Industrial Systems and Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing, Lecco), Nicola Capece (University of Basilicata), Mario Covarrubias (Politecnico di Milano), Gilda Manfredi (University of Basilicata) URL: https://shapexr.icar.cnr.it<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> This workshop explores how eXtended Reality (XR) can serve as a multimodal interface for AI systems, including LLMs and conversational agents. It focuses on designing adaptive, human-centered XR environments that incorporate speech, gesture, gaze, and haptics for seamless interaction. Main topics include personalization, accessibility, cognitive load, trust, and ethics in AI-driven XR experiences. Through presentations, discussions, and collaborative sessions, the workshop aims to establish a subcommunity within IUI to develop a roadmap that includes design principles and methodologies for inclusive and adaptive intelligent interfaces, enhancing human capabilities across various domains, such as healthcare, education, and collaborative environments. TRUST-CUA: Trustworthy Computer-Using Generalist Agents for Intelligent User Interfaces (full-day workshop) Organizers: Toby Jia-Jun Li (University of Notre Dame), Segev Shlomov (IBM Research), Xiang Deng (Scale AI), Ronen Brafman (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev), Avi Yaeli (IBM Research) Zora (Zhiruo) Wang (Carnegie Mellon University) URL: https://sites.google.com/view/trust-cuaiui26/home<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> Computer-Using Agents (CUAs) are moving from point automations to generalist agents acting across GUIs, browsers, APIs, and CLIs—raising core IUI questions of trust, predictability, and control. This workshop advances trustworthy-by-design CUAs through human-centered methods: mixed-initiative interaction, explanation and sensemaking, risk/uncertainty communication, and recovery/rollback UX. Outcomes include (1) a practical TRUST-CUA checklist for oversight, consent, and auditing, (2) a user-centered evaluation profile (“CUBench-IUI,” e.g., predictability, oversight effort, time-to-recovery, policy-aligned success), and (3) curated design patterns and open challenges for deployable, accountable agentic interfaces.

[Extended Deadline] 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 · October 17, 2025 (EDT): Submission of regular papers and SRC research abstracts · November 21, 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/my/conference?conf=sac2026 (regular papers) and https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sacsrc2026 (SRC abstracts). Contact us For any inquires regarding the call for papers, please contact gaggi(a)math.unipd.it <mailto:gaggi@math.unipd.it>. We look forward to your contributions and to seeing you at the ACM SAC 2026 Conference!
