[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.

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 such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Metaverse, and Digital Twin (DT) technologies, as they become smarter, present risks of increased reliance on such technologies in the workplace. Human beings may discount their thinking capabilities and abdicate their agency, including those related to creative problem solving, to machine intelligence. Rather than completely automating tasks and asking the worker to remain in a supervisory or backup role, augmentation seeks to enable cooperation between the worker and the machine. If this concept is well studied to enable efficacy and efficiency at work, efforts must still be made in HWID research to enable well-being, trust, and ensure human control and governance of the outcomes within these worker-machine teams. The conference calls for inclusive approaches for unpacking Industry 5.0, through the integration of human and social sciences, arts, design, and humanities insights and expertise in machine applications. This call seeks contributions that explore the augmentation of human cognition in line with human values through research of new frameworks, models, and approaches for Industry 5.0, Fifth Industrial Revolution (5IR) that focus on a harmonisation of human ability and well-being, while simultaneously ensuring human beings can make effective use of 5IR technologies, including machine intelligence in the workplace. Accordingly, it is essential to revisit and re-conceptualize the notion of work augmentation in automation-driven contexts by integrating extremely relevant dimensions such as worker well-being, human autonomy, and system transparency into its definition. Industry 5.0 is a concept that builds on the earlier aims of Industry 4.0. Where the Industry 4.0 focus is on productivity and efficiency, Industry 5.0 aims to place the well-being of the worker at the centre of the production process and on maintaining sustainability goals. Harmonisation of human and machine intelligence interaction in the 5IR would require the ability to measure, analyze, and apply affective data of the human and workplace environment to design, integrate, and optimize the employee experience and well-being within the workplace environment. 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. TOPICS - Human-centric UI design with 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 modeling - 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 IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: February 8 Notification to authors: March 6 Camera ready: March 27 Conference: June 17-18, 2026 SUBMISSIONS We invite authors to submit full papers (max 8 pages, including 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. The collection of all accepted papers will be distributed to the participants as digital proceedings before the conference. During the review process, the 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) that will be edited after the conference. ORGANIZERS General Chairs: - Jose Abdelnour-Nocera (University of West London, UK) - Judith Molka-Danielsen (Molde University College, Norway) Program Chairs: - Barbara Rita Barricelli (University of Brescia, Italy) - Elodie Bouzekri (Université de Brest, France) - Parisa Sadaati (University of West London, UK) Local Organizing Chair: - Ali Gheitasy (University of West London, UK)

AI systems are deployed rapidly across domains of considerable social significance—in healthcare, education, employment, criminal justice, and many others—without appropriate safeguards or accountability structures in place. At the same time, there is a growing interest in using participatory approaches for the design, development, and evaluation of AI systems across industries, academia and the public sector. Researchers have started to explore different aspects of AI tools for co-creation in PD and different co-creation processes for the design of AI-based solutions. In this special issue, we aim to collect and share explorations with and about AI in PD to create a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities for co-designing future ethical, responsible, and explainable AI solutions. Early PD projects were motivated by the introduction of computer technologies into industrial workplaces, where they threatened to impoverish or take over jobs. Just like computers were a threat to work and workers in the 1970s and 80s, AI seems to be a threat to workers—and societies—today. This is an argument for using a PD approach aimed at understanding the technology and its potential for changing workplaces and work practices, as well as to open up for workers to have a say in choices concerning the technology during its design and use. We see two different combinations of AI and PD: a) the use of AI tools in PD for design inspiration or co-ideation, and b) using PD activities to collaboratively envision digital futures with AI. Can PD help to understand AI and its potential for changing our lives? Bratteteig and Verne argue that PD is well suited for users and designers working together to negotiate and mitigate the challenges AI poses to our digitalized societies. However, they argue that PD researchers need to navigate through three challenges: understanding AI technology, evaluating AI solutions, and distinguishing between “normal use” and training of AI services. Voinov and Bousquet propose participatory modeling as a purposeful learning process for action that engages the implicit and explicit knowledge of stakeholders to create formalized and shared representation(s) of reality. As a step towards broadening the discussion about AI and PD, our proposal seeks to extend a warm invitation to researchers and professionals worldwide who are exploring the intersection of PD and AI, including both aspects of mutual learning and co-designing. This special issue is also an extension of a workshop that took place at NORDICHI 2024. The purpose of this special issue, therefore, in addition to collecting contributions from those who participated in the workshop, is to broaden the discussion to include scholars and practitioners who are engaged in the discourse about AI and PD and who would like to contribute with and share their own visions. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: • Perspectives on co-designing future ethical, responsible, and explainable AI solutions. • Learning practices and strategies for understanding AI. • Challenges facing PD for designing AI solutions • Lessons learned from facilitated participatory activities AI tools. • Combinations of the above. =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors are invited to submit 8-30 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).
