Second Call for Papers for the Third Submission Round of EICS 2026: The 18th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems, June 30- July 3, 2026 – Patras, Greece https://eics.acm.org/2026/ *Submission deadline for the 3rd Round of PACM EICS 2026 for Full Papers and Technical Notes: February 13th, 2026* EICS 2026 is the eighteenth international ACM SIGCHI conference devoted to engineering interactive computing systems and their user interfaces, addressing one or more software quality factors, such as usability, user experience, reliability, security, etc. Work presented at EICS covers all stages of the engineering life-cycle of interactive systems - inception, requirements, design, specification, coding, data analytics, validation and verification, deployment and maintenance. EICS has the longest tradition of bringing together researchers who contribute to better ways of creating interactive computing systems, stemming from the conference on command languages in the seventies. The conference is best known for rigorously contributing and disseminating research results that hold the midst in between user interface design, software engineering and computational interaction. EICS focuses on models, languages, notations, methods, techniques and tools that support designing, developing, validating and verifying interactive systems. The conference brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from design, HCI, software engineering, requirements engineering, software development, modeling, and programming. Submissions advance the state of the art of the engineering of interactive systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: *Modelling, specification and analysis of interaction and interactive systems *Requirements engineering for interactive systems *Methods, processes, principles and/or tools for building interactive systems (e.g., design, implementation, prototyping, evaluation, verification and validation, testing) *Software architectures for interactive systems *Formal methods within interactive systems engineering *Bridging the gap between engineering and design practices. *Engineering design and evaluation tools *Computational techniques for designing and evaluating interactive systems *Interactive data-driven systems *Explore and/or employ of diverse interaction techniques and devices (e.g., adaptive, context-aware, tangible, haptic, touch and multitouch input, voice, gestures, recognition of physiological signals, multimodal input, mobile and wearable systems, virtual, augmented, mixed and extended reality) *Engineering hardware or software integration in interactive systems (e.g., fabrication and maker processes, physical computing, cyber-physical systems) *Engineering interactive systems for diverse user groups (e.g., children, elderly, people with disabilities…) *Engineering collaborative multi-user interactive systems *Engineering interactive systems embedding AI-technologies *Engineering interaction-driven AI-technologies *Applying AI technologies in methods, processes and tools for building interactive systems in all stages of the engineering lifecycle A newcomer’s guide to EICS is available at https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3300960 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FULL PAPERS and TECHNICAL NOTES SUBMISSIONS EICS Full Papers and Technical Notes are published as articles in the Journal Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACM - EICS series). There are three submission deadlines per year, and authors can choose when to submit. Papers follow the traditional journal model of reviewing: papers may be accepted after submission and review, or may be recommended for revisions and re-submission to the next round to enable authors to refine papers based on reviewer recommendations. Submissions for the journal of this venue should present original and mature research work within the scope of the conference. Note that accepted journal papers can be either regular research papers, or technical notes. Technical Notes are shorter, more focused contributions, that focus specifically on system contributions and technical work. Elucidating technical details of complex interactive systems, preferably ensuring the work can be reproduced or put to practice, is a primary objective of a Technical Note. Tech Notes require an illustrative example of the system, and they can, but do not need to, be validated by formal user evaluations or user studies. Validation can also be done through e.g. simulation, feasibility, or comparisons. Tech Notes will be judged on their technical merits and relevance to interactive systems concerns. There are no length restrictions on Full Papers and Technical Notes, nor any limit to the number of references that may be included. We advise authors to ensure the length of their papers is in function of the contributions. Concise and clear is often to be preferred over lengthy and verbose. Full Papers and Technical Notes should be written in the ACM format, see https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions Papers should comply with the ACM policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects, see https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-particip… Papers are submitted using https://new.precisionconference.com Use of Generative AI in manuscript preparation Authors must read ACM’s policy on the use of Generative AI in authoring papers found in https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/frequently-asked-questions. All submissions will be evaluated against the criteria set by the policy. Papers found to contain material that breaches these guidelines risk desk rejection. IMPORTANT UPDATE on ACM’s new open access publishing model for 2026 ACM Conferences! Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver.

ICMI 2026 CALL FOR MULTIMODAL GRAND CHALLENGES !!! DEADLINE EXTENSION !!! ============================================ 5-9 October 2026, Napoli - Italy https://icmi.acm.org/2026/ ============================================ -> THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS EXTENDED TO JANUARY 16, 2026 We are calling for teams to propose one or more ICMI Multimodal Grand Challenges. The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference's goals are to implement believable, autonomous, adaptive, context-aware Human Computer Interaction (HCI) systems able to infer how organizational, cultural and physical contexts shape individual perception, choices and actions. Such systems, e.g. synthetic agents, robots, avatars or analysis systems act in real-time, sustain dyadic/group interactions and actively cooperate in discussion, decision-making, problem solving, learning/knowledge building. These systems gather information and meanings in the course of everyday activity and build knowledge and practical ability to render the world interpretable while interacting with users attuned to behavioural sequences that underpin collaboration. ICMI Multimodal Grand Challenges aim to inspire new ideas in the ICMI community and create momentum for future collaborative work. Analysis, synthesis, and interactive tasks are all possible. Challenge papers will be indexed in the main proceedings of ICMI. We invite the ICMI community from various fields related to multimodal interaction to collectively define and tackle these scientific Grand Challenges in this domain including but not limited to the following categories: 1. DATA CHALLENGES: gathering new experimental data and theories across a spectrum of disciplines; 2. ALGORITHM CHALLENGES: developing algorithms, models and computational paradigms that may equip machines with human level automaton intelligence; 3. APPLICATION CHALLENGES: implementing HCI systems that enhance quality of life in society and simplify the user access to future telecommunication services; 4. MULTIDISCIPLINARY CHALLENGES: promoting multidisciplinary exchanges, educational initiatives, and new socio-psychological and computational approaches towards socially-emotionally-context-aware Information Communication Technologies (ICT). Prospective organizers should submit a five-page maximum proposal containing the following information: 1. Title 2. Abstract appropriate for possible Web promotion of the Challenge 3. Distinctive topics to be addressed and specific goals 4. Detailed description of the Challenge and its relevance to multimodal interaction 5. Length (full day or half day) 6.

The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): Last Combo Call for Workshop Papers

by Announce

*** Last Combo Call for Workshop Papers *** The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026) March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the leading annual venue for researchers and practitioners to explore advancements at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). IUI 2026 attracted a record number of submissions for the main conference (561 full paper submissions after an initial submission of 697 abstracts). Although the submission deadline for the main conference is now over, we welcome the submission of papers to a number of workshops that will be held as part of IUI 2026. 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.
