CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
Second Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases
Co-located with the 4th International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI25)
June 10, 2025 | Pisa, Italy (in-person)
https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home
--------------------------------------------------
**Workshop Overview**
Building on the success of its first edition at HHAI 2024, the full-day workshop on "Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases" advances the exploration of over-reliance and biases in Human-AI Interaction. Central to this discussion are approaches that intentionally introduce moments of cognitive effort and reflection into AI interactions to prevent passive or automatic reliance. While conventional AI design prioritises efficiency and seamlessness, this workshop invites participants to examine AI systems that strategically slow down decision-making when necessary to mitigate automation bias, cognitive offloading, and over-trust, ultimately fostering accuracy, responsibility, and human oversight.
Such friction-in-design encompasses strategies that encourage users to reflect before acting, such as requiring justification before accepting AI recommendations, displaying confidence scores with uncertainty visualisations, or using explainability mechanisms that slow decision-making to reinforce human oversight.
This workshop fosters interdisciplinary dialogue across AI research, cognitive science, HCI, and governance to ensure AI systems empower users rather than encourage unchecked reliance. The program will feature keynote presentations by leading experts in academia and industry, author presentations, and interactive discussions to advance the discourse on cognitively engaging and responsible AI design.
Keynote speakers include:
• Prof. Federico Cabitza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) – Expert in AI-assisted decision-making and medical AI.
• Bart Van Leeuwen (Fire Services Expert, Netherlands) – Expert in human factors and situational awareness in high-risk environments.
**Topics of Interest**
We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on topics including, but not limited to:
• Design principles for cognitive engagement
• Measuring and mitigating automation bias, algorithmic aversion, and cognitive offloading
• Ethical and governance perspectives on Friction-in-Design
• Applications, Case Studies and Experimental Findings
We encourage submissions from a variety of disciplines, including AI, HCI, cognitive science, law, philosophy, and beyond.
**Submission Details**
• Types of Submissions: Extended Abstracts (500-1,000 words)
• Format: CEURART-WS (see workshop website for template)
• Submission Portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025

19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025)
September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025
(*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***)
The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European forum for
presenting and discussing software architecture research and practice.
ECSA edition 2025 hosts workshops on topics related to software architecture. The following
workshops will be held between September 15-16, 2025:
8th International Workshop on Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures
(CASA)
https://casaecsa.github.io/casa2025/
Software is becoming increasingly aware of its current execution context. Decisions that were
traditionally made at design time are being postponed until runtime to improve the services
that software provides to its users. In addition, software reasons about the execution
environments and its internal state to improve the functionality provided to its users. Some of
the keywords that characterize software today are: context-aware, dynamic, autonomous,
smart, adaptive, self-managed. In this context, the Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart
Architectures (CASA) workshop aims to address the issues and challenges raised by the design,
implementation, and evaluation of software systems characterized by the above keywords.
Novel design and development approaches are needed to address the new issues raised by such
systems. New solutions are expected to properly address the trade-offs between the various
quality attributes that characterize these systems. Or, existing architectural solutions should be
adapted and improved to meet the evolving and dynamic requirements of context-aware,
autonomous, and intelligent systems. The workshop aims to bring together software engineers,
computer scientists, researchers, practitioners, and educators to discuss and exchange results,
case studies, experiences, novel approaches, and visionary ideas on software architectures for
context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions.
1st International Workshop on Architecting Digital Twin of an Organization (ArchDTO)
https://archdto.github.io/archdto2025/
The Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) extends the concept of Digital Twins to create virtual
replicas of business models, processes, resources, and interactions. DTOs enable optimization
of decision-making, increased efficiency, and adaptability to rapid changes by leveraging real-
time data, simulations, AI, and predictive analytics. Despite their transformative potential,
DTOs are still in early development, facing significant software architecture challenges such as
scalability, interoperability, model robustness, and real-time data integration. This workshop
explores the architectural frameworks, design patterns, and software engineering principles
needed to build robust DTOs. Topics include frameworks for DTO creation, enterprise modeling
methodologies, technological enablers like AI and the Internet of Things, and real-world use
cases from academia and industry. Given the novelty of the topic, the workshop consists of two
main sessions: (1) presentations of academic and industry papers on DTO architectures,
frameworks, and technologies, and (2) an interactive workshop session, where participants will
engage in problem-solving, explore case studies, and collaboratively define challenges,
solutions, and best practices for architecting DTOs.
1st International Workshop on AI-Assisted Software Architecting (AISA)
https://sites.google.com/view/aisasa/home?pli=1
AI-assisted software architecting is transforming how architectural decisions are made,
implemented, and maintained. Leveraging artificial intelligence, this paradigm enhances
architectural decision making, automates repetitive architecting tasks, and optimizes system
designs. The AISA workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore
AI’s role in various software architecting activities, including architecture analysis, design,
decision-making, evolution, and documentation. We will also discuss AI-driven architectural
pattern recommendations, best practices, and the application of AI in continuous architecting
and self-adaptive architectures. Topics include AI-assisted architecture synthesis, automated
architecture pattern selection, refactoring, security enforcement, and integrating AI into DevOps
and MLOps pipelines. The workshop will foster discussions and collaborations between
academia and industry to identify open challenges, research directions, and practical
applications
5th International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming (AMP)
https://amp-workshops.github.io
The AMP workshop aims to collect experiences on microservice adoption and reporting best
practices, as well as failure cases, to build community knowledge based on past mistakes and
successes. We also emphasize the current trend towards AI-driven software engineering
practices and the development of data- intensive applications. The workshop seeks for
solutions and experiences both on both AI-assisted tooling, and building data-intensive
applications and LLMs using microservices. The workshop is open to experience reports from
practitioners and academics. We seek to collect original work on the science and engineering of
programming microservices.
1st International Workshop on Software Architecture for Data-Intensive Systems (SADIS)
https://sadis2025.smartarch.cz
Modern software systems increasingly rely on data-centric processes to fuel intelligent features,
scalable services, and real-time insights. As these systems evolve, designing effective software
architectures for data-intensive environments becomes critical yet challenging. These
architectures must address complex concerns such as handling high-velocity data streams,
ensuring security and privacy, integrating heterogeneous data sources and heterogeneous
computation fabrics (including GPUs/TPUs and edge devices), and adapting to changing
workloads. The workshop aims to bring together academic researchers, industry practitioners,
and thought leaders to explore cutting-edge approaches for building, deploying, and
maintaining robust data-centric solutions. We invite discussions on a range of topics at the
intersection of data-intensive systems and software architecture, including machine learning
(ML) pipelines, ML Operations (MLOps) frameworks and patterns, domain-specific languages,
reference architectures, and visualization techniques. Emphasis is placed on practical
experiences, innovative tools and platforms, and theoretical advancements that tackle the
ever-growing demands placed on data-intensive systems. By fostering interdisciplinary
collaboration and knowledge exchange, the workshop seeks to shape the future of data-driven
architecture design and empower professionals and researchers to address emerging challenges
in this rapidly evolving domain.
Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Systems and Architectures (AROSA)
https://www.redcad.org/events/arosa2025/
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners both from the
Academia and from the Industry working in the areas of the adaptation and reconfiguration of
distributed systems. Different investigation topics are involved, such as: CBSE, Web service,
cloud applications, mobile applications, Functional and Non-Functional requirements (QoS,
performance, resilience), monitoring, diagnosis, deci- sion and execution of adaptation and
reconfiguration. Different research areas are covered: concepts, methods, techniques, and tools
to design, develop, deploy and manage adaptive and reconfigurable software systems. The
concept of adaptive and reconfigurable software systems has been introduced in order to
describe architectures, which exhibit such properties. An adaptive and reconfigurable software
system can repair itself if any execution problems occur, in order to successfully complete its
own execution, while respecting functional requirements and quality attributes. In the design of
an adaptive and reconfigurable software system, several aspects have to be considered. For
instance, the system should be able to predict or to detect degradations and failures as soon as
possible and to enact suitable recovery actions.

THEMATIC SESSION DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
Nowadays the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with modern
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) technologies and eXtended Reality (XR),
offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation. This thematic session
aims to explore how AI while acting as a catalyst, interacts with broader
HCI methods to enhance user experiences, foster engagement, and address
critical Human Factors. The session will examine the synergies between XR,
AI-driven personalization, and adaptive systems, alongside non-AI-based
approaches to ensure inclusivity. By addressing measurement techniques and
methodologies, the session will highlight how HCI researchers and
practitioners can advance the field through rigorous evaluation strategies
that support various applications in different immersive environments
scenarios such as Rehabilitation, Special Education, Cultural Heritage, and
emerging platforms like Metaverse. This dialogue aims to create a roadmap
for designing, implementing, and assessing next-generation HCI systems that
balance technological possibilities with user-centric considerations.
The authors of the paper selected as the “Best Paper” at this session will
receive an invitation to submit an extended version of their work to IEEE
Computer Graphics & Applications (https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/cg
).
