State-of-the-art and novel methodologies and technologies allow researchers, designers, and domain experts to pursue Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) solutions targeting not only cognitive processes but also motivational, personality, or emotional factors. Nowadays, we can identify two main legs, providing necessary and complementary strengths to a TEL-oriented design process: appropriate technologies should be applied, and appropriate methods should guide the design of such application. Technologies in TEL are capable of delivering smart, personalized, tailored, and motivating learning solutions. Methods are coming from different fields, such as education, psychology, medicine, computer science, and from diverse communities, where collaboration and co-working are used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, Learning Analytics can help manage available (big) data and augment learning opportunities for learners and educators alike, for instance by supporting self-regulated learning or adaptation of the learning material. As to these topics, the annual appointment of MIS4TEL established itself as a consolidated fertile forum where scholars and professionals from the international community, with a broad range of expertise in the TEL field, share results and compare experiences. The 12th edition of the conference calls for novel research in TEL and expands the topics of the previous editions, highlighting the role of the most recent methods and technological opportunities. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL. >>> TOPICS Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: # Technologies and technology-based solutions for TEL # - AI technologies and tools for TEL - Agent-based and multi-agent TEL systems - Knowledge representation, reasoning, and management systems for TEL - Natural language systems for TEL - Recommendation, personalization, and adaptation in TEL systems - Social networks for TEL - Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) for TEL - Internet of things (IoT) solutions for TEL - Smart solutions or environments for TEL - Wearable technologies for TEL - Robotics for TEL - Virtual reality environments for TEL - Games for TEL or gamified TEL - Sharing and interoperability between TEL environments - Making and fabrication for TEL # Methodologies and experiences for TEL # - Methodologies for personalization, user modeling, and adaptation in TEL- Methodologies for recommendation systems and user modeling in TEL - Methodologies for fostering motivation and engagement in TEL - Methodologies for the design of accessible and usable TEL systems - Methodologies for including different voices in the design process of TEL - Methodologies for informal learning for TEL - Methodologies for fostering TEL in small, medium, and large companies - Methodologies, tools, and frameworks supporting experiments in TEL - Methodologies or approaches from game design and gamification for TEL - Novel experiences and studies (e.g., case studies, ethnographic studies, field studies, experimentations) with methodologies for TEL # Learning analytics for TEL # - Big data and data visualization in TEL - Learning analytics for curriculum design - Learning analytics for personalizing the learner experience - Learning analytics for predicting behavior - Learning analytics for designing learning interventions - Learning analytics for stakeholders >>> SUBMISSIONS # Submitting papers # MIS4TEL papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNNS Template, with a maximum length of 10 pages, including figures and references.

We aim at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in strengthening the scientific foundations of user interface design, examining the relationship between software engineering and human-computer interaction and on how to strengthen human-centered design as an essential part of software engineering processes. Other topics of interest include: * contributions to the theory and best practices of user-centered design * involvement of end-users, clients and stakeholders in the design and development process of interactive systems * innovative methods for identifying end-user requirements for interactive systems * integration of user experience (and any other user interface property) in development processes * methods for designing, building and assessing interactive systems beyond the desktop (e.g. the living room, ubiquitous and multi-display, cockpits, etc.) * models and model-based approaches for building interactive systems * methods and tools for low-code and no-code development paradigms * integration of multiple properties (e.g. usability, (cyber)security, reliability, user experience, privacy, accessibility, etc.) in software development and making them more accessible to developers and users * context-aware and adaptive interactive systems (e.g. in areas such as digital collaboration, digital and worker assistance) * design and integration of novel interaction techniques such as augmented, virtual, and mixed reality * support for new kinds of human-machine interaction (HMI) for increasingly autonomous systems and systems that use or provide artificial intelligence (e.g. autonomous driving or human-robot collaboration) * socio-technical aspects of interactive software development * artificial intelligence and machine learning to support the development of interactive systems * software architectures and architectural patterns for interactive systems * rational design, design patterns and traceability of design choices. HCSE 2022 welcomes contributions as technical full papers, late breaking results, demonstrations and posters. All papers are peer-reviewed and selected contributions will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series. In the present edition of HCSE 2022 we are particularly interested in studies focused on multi-stakeholder concepts and how to cope with multi-stakeholders taking into account not only micro perspective, but on the systemic change level. This research area is central to the host of the current edition of the conference, the Eindhoven University of Technology, Industrial Design, Systemic Change group. In addition, building on the activities carried out by the WG13.2 during the workshop held at the INTERACT 2021 IFIP TC-13 conference, special consideration will be given to issues related to “changing the context of use”, which has significant impact on how to design and develop with a user-centered perspective and how usage of these systems changed for example in the current pandemic situation. As in past editions, the focus of the working group is on user interface properties (such as usability, ux, privacy, trust, security, reliability, adaptability, among others) and how to design, develop and evaluate based on a user-centered development process. We are interested in understanding how different stakeholders and developers value diverse user interface properties and how they manage conflicts between them (when one property might degrade the value of another) on a systemic change level. Our aim is to cover a large set of user interface properties and try to reveal their inner dependencies. We are particularly interested in the development of theories, methods, tools and approaches for dealing with multiple properties that should be taken into account when developing interactive systems. HCSE welcomes the following types of contributions: * Technical full papers (up to 20 pages) should describe substantial research contributions of novel work that has produced advanced results including validation of results. * Late-breaking results (up to 12 pages) are short papers that present work in progress, new practice and experience reports containing good (and bad) practices and/or recent practical evaluations of methods, techniques and tools. * Demonstrations and posters (5–8 pages, plus poster design draft) should present ongoing work and/or late-breaking results related to the use of innovative tools and cutting-edge systems not described in other paper submissions. Demonstration papers should provide description of tools including user tasks and evidence of use to end-users. Demo submissions should summarize the system’s significance and its performance and should either include screenshots or link to an online-accessible resource. The poster design draft should show the planned design and content of the poster that will be presented at the conference. Industry contributions to demos and posters are particularly welcome and highly encouraged. SUBMISSIONS AND REVIEWING PROCESS All contributions should be submitted via the EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=hcse2022conference). All submissions will be peer-reviewed for their topical relevance, originality, technical contribution, and presentation quality by the members of the international program committee. Technical full papers and late-breaking results short papers will be reviewed double-blind, demonstrations and posters single-blind. Authors must prepare their submission files accordingly! For poster submissions, both paper and poster design draft will be assessed for review. It will be possible for the program committee to suggest accepting submissions in other than their original submission categories. PRESENTATIONS If we hold a physical conference, under the current circumstances, all accepted submissions will be presented at the conference in technical sessions. It will be possible for authors of accepted technical full papers and late-breaking results short papers to give tool demos as well without submitting additional demo papers. The conference will NOT enable hybrid participation. PROCEEDINGS Accepted contributions must be formatted according to the guidelines of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-12-73062-0). Authors are requested to prepare submissions as close as possible to final camera-ready versions. IMPORTANT DATES Technical full papers, late breaking results * Submission: Friday, April 25th, 2022 (*NEW!*) * Notification to authors: Monday, May 16th, 2022 * Camera-ready due: Monday, June 13th, 2022 Demos, posters * Submission: Monday, May 30th, 2022 * Notification to authors: Monday, June 13th, 2022 * Camera-ready due: Monday, June 27th, 2022 CONFERENCE DATES: August 24th – 26th, 2022 ORGANIZERS General Conference Chairs: Regina Bernhaupt, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Carmelo Ardito, Politecnico di Bari, Italy Stefan Sauer, Paderborn University, Germany *
