IFIP-ICTSS is a well-established conference where researchers, developers, testers, and users
from industry get together to present and discuss the most recent innovations, experiences
and open challenges related to testing software and systems and measuring software quality.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
■ AI for Software Testing and Testing of AI: the growing interest in the use of AI has also
spread in to various aspects of software testing. In addition, work is underway to test and
validate AI systems/applications (machine learning, expert systems, neural networks).
■ Aspects of testing: test derivation, test selection, test generation, test coverage, test
concretization, test implementation and execution, test result analysis, test oracle, verdict
computation, test management, active testing and passive testing, monitoring and runtime
verification.
■ Testing new technologies: this year we encourage submissions focused on testing Large
Language Models (LLMs), audit machine learning systems (especially for applications to Health)
and Quantum systems (programs, computers, and simulators).
■ Diversity on testing: diverse generation, selecting diverse test suites, foundations of testing
and diversity, applications of entropy and Kolmogorov complexity on test suite diversity.
■ Theoretical approaches: formalisms (such as automata, state machines, process algebra,
logics, Markov-chains...), testing frameworks, results for compositionality, refinement,
soundness and completeness, addressing complex systems, heterogeneous or hybrid systems.
■ Modelling languages (such as UML, MATLAB, Simulink, Modelica...) and associated
tooling for model-based testing: test generation from models, model-based oracles.
Scalability, traceability, quantification issues. Automated support of any parts of the testing
activities, testing processes, test-driven development, sound metrics and measurements.

The theme of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter
(CHItaly 2025) is “Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer
Interaction in the Third Millennium”. It invites us to reflect on how
technological advances continue to redefine our interactions with the
digital world.
Over the last two decades, the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
has evolved rapidly, adapting to innovations that have transformed everyday
life. Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Augmented and Virtual Reality,
Robotics, voice interfaces, wearable devices, and the Internet of Things
has brought HCI to the forefront of scientific inquiry, offering novel
possibilities and complex challenges. These technologies are not only
changing how we use digital systems but also influencing the ways we think,
learn, communicate, and interact on a personal, social, and organizational
level.
This year’s conference aims to inspire a comprehensive dialogue on how
these technologies are reshaping the landscape of HCI and redefining the
boundaries of human capabilities. Participants will be invited to engage
with questions surrounding ethical implications, accessibility,
inclusivity, user experience, and the sustainability of emerging
technologies. The theme encourages contributors to share insights on
methodologies that adapt to these changes, from user-centred design
practices to innovative evaluation methods for complex, adaptive systems.
We invite submissions of workshops that contribute to the field of
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

CALL FOR PAPERS
Transparent Autonomy and Human Work Interaction Design (TA-HWID) Workshop
https://wg6.ifip-tc13.org/tahwid/
Hybrid workshop organized by WG13.6 on Human Work Interaction Design
Co-located with INTERACT 2025: 20th IFIP TC13 International Conference on
Human-Computer Interaction
8 - 12 September 2025, Belo Horizonte, Brazil
#############################################################
Workshop Theme:
To acquire an appropriate level of trust between workers and between
workers and autonomous (or AI) systems, supporting transparency is
desirable to convey awareness of each other’s intents, reasoning processes,
and future tasks. To achieve transparency, existing models recommend
bi-directional communication and the explanation of AI outputs and
processes. Consequently, workers acquire new tasks to collaborate with
non-human teammates. This workshop aims to investigate the impact of
transparency mechanisms on human work through the HWID lens.
This workshop aims to (a) explore models and methods for human work
interaction design of transparent autonomy and approaches to adapt workers’
skills and tasks to these environments, (b) collect case studies that
investigate transparent human-autonomy teams through an HWID perspective,
(c) initiate a reflection on guidance for designing transparent autonomy in
human work interaction design.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participants are asked to submit a position paper describing human work
interaction design research, combining work analysis and interaction
design, related to models, methods, case studies, or evaluations including
(but not limited to):

• Explainable AI to support workers
• Training with or for collaboration with autonomy or AI
• User experience with transparent autonomous teammate at work
• Novel research methods, such as art-based research on collaboration
with AI and autonomy at work
--------------------------------------------------------------

CFP for the 2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users
(IR4U2) - Bridging User-centered AI with IR: Making Information Retrieval
Accessible for All
Please join us at IR4U2, co-located with the 48th International ACM SIGIR
Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, which will
take place 13th-18th July 2025 in Padua, Italy.
Important dates
All the deadlines are set at 11:59 PM AoE.
-
Submission: May 4, 2025

Workshop day: July 17, 2025
Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research.
Nevertheless, most advancements in this domain have primarily favored what
we might term 'conventional' users, such as adults from the global north.
We envision IR4U2 as a forum to spotlight research and industry efforts
that, while sparse, consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups.
Among these groups, we find, for example, older adults, young children and
adolescents, individuals afflicted by mental health disorders, users with
autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with intellectual disabilities,
or those with specific learning needs.
In this second iteration of IR4U2, we will focus more specifically on a
**user-centred AI perspective**, which we believe is vital for informing
the design, development, and assessment of IR systems that thoughtfully
address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine
accessibility and inclusivity.
We aim to
• Build, extend and maintain a community involving multi-disciplinary Ph.D.
students, academics, and industry practitioners aiming to advance
understanding of core (AI for) IR technology and its impact on a broad
range of understudied users.
• Take inventory of the different kinds of use cases, research work,
ongoing efforts, and existing resources while reflecting on the progress
made since the last IR4U2 iteration.
• Define guidelines to promote user-centric design of IR systems.
• Outline a general approach to facilitate research endeavors driven by and
at the service of specific user groups
IR4U2 will be a highly participatory, full-day, in-person workshop. This
will involve informal interactions, facilitated group work, and brief
presentations of accepted contributions. These contributions will help
construct a snapshot of the current works in this area.
Topics of interest include:
-
User-centered design of IR algorithms for understudied users
-
User-centric design of user interfaces for IR for understudied users
-
The use of AI for enhancing IR systems for understudied users
-
The positive and negative impact of AI on IR for understudied users
-
User modeling to enable IR and recommendation technologies tailored to
understudied populations
-
Data collection and benchmark development of IR catering to understudied
populations.
-
IR applications targeting understudied populations
-
IR techniques in the era of LLM and generative models with and for
understudied populations
This is not an exhaustive list, as we are also interested in contributions
discussing challenges inherent to designing IR technology at the service of
understudied user groups–from the need for multidisciplinary,
multi-stakeholder collaborations to how to build datasets.
Submissions:
Peer reviewed contributions. These include research papers presenting
empirical explorations, user studies, and/or new algorithms related to the
open problems listed in topics of interest, as well as position/vision
contributions discussing uses cases, challenges, and future research
directions. These contributions should be submitted on EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ir4u20) at least 4 pages, but up to
12 (excluding references) formatted in CEURART’s single-column template (
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/one-column-layout-template-for-sub…).
Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop and published in
workshop proceedings.
Editorially-reviewed contributions. To enable potential attendees to
articulate their views on the topics of the workshop, share
already-published works, bring awareness to ongoing European projects in
this area, etc., we ask the submission of a short extended abstract. This
type of informal submission (via this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoz0WWHx_0EXcPc9AZOTw6zx07gSolQ61…
)
will be editorially
reviewed by workshop organizers to gauge fit as well as themes of interest
for group discussions. Accepted contributions will be presented at the
workshop, but not published in the proceedings.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the
workshop. Please feel free to reach out to the ir4u2.research(a)gmail.com with

September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025
The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software
architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to
present and discuss the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the
field of software architecture research and practice. The 19th European Conference on Software
Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as
an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus).
ECSA 2025 enriches its partnership with more journals and opportunities than ever before, to
incorporate journal-first papers into its program. The journals are:
- Journal of Systems and Software (JSS)
- IEEE Software
- Information & Software Technology (IST)
- Transaction on Software Engineering (TSE)
We invite authors of journal papers accepted by JSS, IEEE Software, IST, or TSE since December
1, 2023 to submit their work for presentation at ECSA 2025, which will allow authors of
journal-first papers to present their work to the community.
SCOPE
A journal-first paper submitted to ECSA 2025 must adhere to the following criteria:
• The paper must have been accepted after peer review by one between JSS, IEEE Software,
IST or TSE.
• The paper is in the scope of the conference.
• The paper has not been presented at and is not under consideration for journal-first
programs of other conferences.
PAPER SUBMISSION
We invite authors of papers that meet the above criteria to submit a proposal that includes a
summary of the original paper that highlights the contributions, motivates the relevance for
the ECSA, and briefly discusses how the work has developed after the original publication -
if it is the case. Please include the DOI of the original journal paper. ECSA offers an opportunity
to disseminate your work to a broader community audience.
The submission must be 3-4 pages long and conform to the Springer LNCS style
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…).
Accepted submissions will be invited to present at the conference. The track chairs will write a
summary of the accepted submissions that will be included in the conference proceedings.
Proposals must be submitted via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2025
conference, selecting the "Journal First" Track:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ecsa2025 .
EVALUATION
Authors will be invited to present their paper at ECSA 2025 if it meets the above criteria. Please
note that we plan to include as many journal-first papers as possible in the ECSA main program.
However, if we receive an exceptionally high number of submissions, we may have to prioritize
presentation proposals according to their fit to the conference theme and sessions structure.
As the papers have already been reviewed and accepted by a journal, we will not review the
submission for technical content; instead, we will focus on the track’s criteria.
PRESENTATION
ECSA 2025 is planned to be an in-person/physical conference. The journal-first paper
presentations are part of the ECSA conference’s main program. As a journal-first presenter,
you will benefit from the conference presentation in many ways, such as, outreach to a broader
audience and interactions and discussions with peers. At least one author of each submission
accepted for the journal-first program must register and attend the conference to present the
paper.

*DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT and GOALS*
Smart Learning Ecosystems should perform at best on all the dimensions
that contribute to the well-being of students and all players involved
in the development of a learning process: /infrastructures, food,
environment, info/admin services, mobility, safety, social interaction,
satisfaction, challenges, self-fulfillment/. Being inspired by the flow
theory and by the Maslow’s pyramid, we can state that: ecosystems are
smart when /“individuals that take part in the local processes achieve a
high level of skills and, at the same time, are also strongly motivated
and engaged by continuous and adequate challenges, provided that their
primary needs are reasonably satisfied”./
The smartness of learning ecosystems, thus, is not created merely
through the availability of digital infrastructures and applications.
When technologies are both available and adopted enthusiastically, they
can start to make a difference in both simplifying and accelerating
progress toward the achievement of system smartness. One has to keep in
mind, however, that technologies are smart not because they are capable
of replacing human reasoning but, rather because they can help towards
achieving a people centered smartness, through streamlining mundane
organisational tasks, and enhancing the skills of all actors involved in
learning processes.
Our duty, with the help of technology, is to support learning ecosystems
(formal, informal, non-formal) to develop their people centered
smartness towards becoming incubators of social innovation and engines
of sustainable regional development./Smartness is a goal/ and we can
support our learning ecosystems along the process to achieve it by
proposing solutions capable to solve or mitigate problems that prevent
the learning ecosystems to be people centered.
We expect students, wishing to take part in the contest, to analyze
their learning ecosystem, detect problems and find solutions that can
help their, and as well other learning ecosystems, to get smarter.
Proposals submitted to this call are expected to address thesame general
themes of the call for papers of the conference, namely:
* places for smart education,
* people in place centered design for smart education,
* supportive learning technologies and tools for smart education.
