Final Announcement: HCSE 2020 submission closes July 6th, 2020 - 8th Intl. Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering

by Stefan Sauer

Dear colleagues, regarding COVID-19 circumstances, keeping in mind the very interactive character of HCSE as a working conference and the strong community aspects of this meeting, we have decided to postpone HCSE and run it in the regular way as a physical meeting in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The new date will be *November 30 - December 2, 2020*. Hopefully by then, it will be possible and permitted to travel to the event for every participant and to hold the conference meeting. Due to this postponement we have re-opened and rescheduled the submission and reviewing process again. Thus, we give researchers and practitioners the chance to submit additional work. The new deadlines are the following: *Technical full papers, late breaking results* ------------------------------------------------------- _July 6, 2020 (extended!) Submission _ August 24, 2020 (extended!) Notification to Authors September 30, 2020 (extended!) Camera-ready due *Demos, posters* -------------------- _August 31, 2020 (extended!) Submission_ September 21, 2020 (extended!) Notification to Authors September 30, 2020 (extended!) Camera-ready due Please see the *CfP* below for details and visit the conference *website* for further and updated information. http://hcse-conference.org/ We are looking forward to meeting you at TU/e in Eindhoven for HCSE 2020. Please stay well and healthy! Best wishes, Regina Bernhaupt - Carmelo Ardito - Stefan Sauer General Organizers of HCSE 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *HCSE 2020* *Call for Papers* *8th International Working Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering* *November 30th - December 2nd, 2020 - Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands* http://www.hcse-conference.org *HCSE*is a bi-annual, single-track, working conference organized by the IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodology for User-Centred System Design <http://ifip-tc13.org/working-groups/working-group-13-2/>in cooperation with IFIP Working Group 13.5 on Human Error, Resilience, Reliability, Safety and System Development <http://ifip-tc13.org/working-groups/working-group-13-5/>. 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 ● design and architectural patterns for interactive systems ● involvement of end-users, clients and stakeholders in the 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 ● integration of multiple properties (e.g. usability, security, reliability, user experience, privacy, accessibility, etc.) in software development ● socio-technical aspects of interactive software development ● software architectures for interactive systems ● rational design and traceability of design choices. HCSE 2020 welcomes contribution 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 2020* 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. 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 other) 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* Contributions should be sent via *EasyChair* (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcse2020). 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* 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. *Proceedings* Accepted contributions must be formatted according to the guidelines of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-12-73062-0>series of Springer. Authors are requested to prepare submissions as close as possible to final camera-ready versions. *Important Dates* *Technical full papers, late breaking results* _Submission: __*July 6^th *__, 2020 (extended!)_ Notification to authors: *August 24^th *, 2020 Camera-ready due: *September 30^th *, 2020 *Demos, posters* _Submission: __*August 31^st *__, 2020 (extended!)_ Notification to authors: *September 21^st *, 2020 Camera-ready due: *September 30^th *, 2020 Conference dates: *November 30^th – ***December *2^nd *, 2020 *Organizers * *General Conference Chairs:* Regina Bernhaupt, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Carmelo Ardito, Politecnico di Bari, Italy Stefan Sauer, Paderborn University, Germany

ACM IUI 2021: Call for Papers

by Axel Soto

*** ACM IUI 2021: Call for Papers *** * College Station, TX * March 18-21, 2021 * http://iui.acm.org/2021/ * Contact: program2021(a)iui.acm.org ## Upcoming deadlines Abstract: Oct 2, 2020 (compulsory) Paper submission: Oct 9, 2020 ## ACM IUI 2021 ACM IUI 2021 is the 26th annual premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is on improving the interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ### Why you should submit to ACM IUI While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other, but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that contribute methodology or theory for the evaluation of intelligent user interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas—academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations—and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and a doctoral consortium for graduate students. ### COVID-19 statement We are monitoring the situation regarding the global pandemic and associated travel restrictions. If needed, we will offer a virtual presentation option if the conference cannot take place due to the global pandemic, or if registered authors from specific parts of the world cannot attend the conference. ## Papers We accept two forms of contributions: full and short papers. They should both make novel contributions to IUI, however full papers should make more substantial and significant contributions, while short papers can contain more focused contributions. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2021". ## Topics IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Application areas * Internet of Things (IoT) * Education and learning-related technologies * Health and intelligent health technologies * Assistive technologies * Social media and other Web technologies * Mobile applications * Artificial personal assistants * Information retrieval, search, and recommendation systems * Interface types * Affective and aesthetic interfaces * Collaborative interfaces * Speech-based interfaces * AR/VR interfaces * Intelligent wearable and mobile interfaces * Ubiquitous smart environments * Modalities * Agent based interfaces (e.g., embodied agents, virtual assistants) * Multi-modal interfaces (speech, gestures, eye gaze, face, physiological information etc.) * Conversational interfaces * Tangible interfaces * Intelligent visualization * Methods and approaches * Methods for explanations (e.g., transparency, control, and trust) * Persuasive technologies in IUI * Privacy and security of IUI * Planning and plan recognition for IUI * Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation * User Modelling for Intelligent Interfaces * User-Adaptive interaction and personalization * Crowd computing and human computation * Human-in-the loop machine learning * Evaluations of intelligent user interfaces * User experiments * User studies * Reproducibility (including benchmarks, datasets, and challenges) * Meta-analyses * Mixed-methods evaluations ## Dates * Oct 2, 2020: Abstract deadline (compulsory) * Oct 9, 2020: Papers deadline * Dec 14, 2020: Notification * Feb 8, 2021: Camera ready due * Mar 18, 2021: Conference starts ## Submission Guidelines Check the submission guidelines on the conference page: https://iui.acm.org/2021/call_for_papers.html. ## Program Chairs * John O’Donovan, University of California, Santa Barbara * Bart Knijnenburg, Clemson University * Paul Teale, Texas A&M * Jeeeun Kim, Texas A&M * Aaron Adler, Raytheon BBN Technologies * Manoj Prasad, Microsoft * Contact: program2021(a)iui.acm.org

International EMPATHY workshop: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems – Final Call for Contributions

by Andrea Mattioli

ACM AVI 2020 Workshop - Submission deadline extended to July 15th ** COVID-19 Information ** The current plan is to hold the workshop with participation in person. EMPATHY: Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems www.empathy-project.eu/workshop/ September 29th, 2020 Island of Ischia, Italy OVERVIEW In the last decade, the spreading of low-cost technologies integrating sensors and actuators has favored the development of the so-called smart objects. This trend has been further fostered by the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects the physical world with Internet via ubiquitous sensors and actuators. The opportunities offered by the IoT are amplified by the use of new approaches that, based on novel interaction paradigms, involve directly non-technical users in configuring the joint behavior of their smart objects, among them and with online services. Existing solutions to define the behavior of such “IoT ecosystems” range from systems that leave the users complete control for establishing the joint behavior of smart objects, to solutions that automatically define smart objects behavior exploiting intelligent techniques. In this continuum, different technologies, frameworks, and approaches present different levels of user control and automation. In this perspective it is also important to consider the emerging role played by social and humanoid robots, which are integrated sets of sensors and actuators with human-like behaviours. DATES July 15th: Paper submission deadline July 20th: Paper acceptance notice July 24th: Camera-ready submission September 29th: Half-day workshop (morning) SUGGESTED TOPICS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS This workshop aims to serve as a venue for discussing ongoing research and sharing ideas for researchers and practitioners working on solutions to personalize the behavior of IoT ecosystems. We aim to encourage participation in order to have stimulating discussion from various perspectives. Topics include, but are not limited, to: - End-User Development (EUD) for IoT; - Interaction Paradigms for IoT; - Usability of IoT Systems; - Interface Design for IoT; - Intelligent Interface for IoT Systems; - Accessibility for IoT Systems; - Usable Privacy and Security in IoT systems - Personalisation and Recommendations for IoT. PARTICIPATION We invite submissions of two types: short papers (3-4 pages) and position papers (1-2 pages). Participants are asked to submit their paper describing their recent or future work in one of the areas indicated in the topics of interest. All submissions must be in the CHI Extended Abstracts format. Papers should be submitted in PDF to easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=empathy2020). All papers will be reviewed by the organizers and by the program committee based on relevance and significance in order to provide constuctive comments to the submitters. Reviewing will be single blind (i.e. author names and affiliations should be listed). If accepted, at least one of the authors must register and attend the workshop.

Mailing list hcitaly

by Fabio Paternò

Cari/e tutti/e Questo messaggio è solo per informarvi che la mailing list hcitaly è stata portata dall' indirizzo hcitaly(a)cnuce.cnr.it all'indirizzo hcitaly(a)isti.cnr.it La lista penso nacque nel 1998 ed allora esisteva il CNUCE, che poi è confluito nell'ISTI. Gli appassionati di storia dell'informatica italiana possono trovare maggiori informazioni a https://www.isti.cnr.it/about.php Pare che il dominio cnuce.cnr.it stia per scomparire da Internet e quindi siamo stati costretti a spostare la lista di indirizzi email (che attualmente sono 458) su un altro server, le modalità di utilizzo dovrebbero essere sostanzialmente invariate per gli utenti. Quindi d'ora in poi mandate email all'indirizzo hcitaly(a)isti.cnr.it ! Fabio
