[CFP] International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis AIRCAD2025 @ ICIAP2025

by Andrea Loddo

Dear colleagues, please find enclosed the call for papers for the third edition of AIRCAD 2025 @ ICIAP. Kind regards [apologies for multiple postings] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - AIRCAD 2025 @ICIAP 2025 3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis AIRCAD 2025 held in conjunction with the 23rd International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing ICIAP2025, Roma, Italy, September 2025 https://sites.google.com/view/aircad2025 <https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=google.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9zaXRlc…> AIMS AND SCOPE In the modern era, healthcare systems predominantly operate with digital medical data, facilitating a wide array of artificial intelligence applications. There's a growing interest in quantitatively analysing clinical images through techniques like Positron Emission Tomography, Computerised Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, particularly in the realms of texture analysis and radiomics. Through machine and deep learning advancements, researchers can glean insights to enhance the discovery of therapeutic tools, bolster diagnostic decisions, and aid in the rehabilitation process. However, the huge volume of available data may intensify the diagnostic effort, exacerbated by high inter/intra-patient variability, diverse imaging techniques, and the necessity to incorporate data from multiple sensors and sources, thus giving rise to the well-documented domain shift issue. To tackle these challenges, radiologists and pathologists employ Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems, which assist in analysing biomedical images. These systems mitigate or eradicate difficulties arising from inter- and intra-observer variability, ensuring consistent assessments of the same region by the same physician at various times and across different physicians, thanks to adept algorithms. Additionally, significant issues such as delayed or restricted data access, driven by privacy, security, and intellectual property concerns, pose considerable hurdles. Consequently, researchers are increasingly exploring the use of synthetic data, both for model training and for simulating scenarios not observed in real life. Furthermore, the emergence of foundation models, such as Vision Transformers and large multimodal models, represents a paradigm shift in medical image analysis. These models, pre-trained on vast datasets, demonstrate remarkable adaptability across various tasks, including segmentation, classification, and multi-modal integration. Their ability to generalise effectively offers promising avenues for addressing domain shift issues and integrating heterogeneous data sources, enhancing diagnostic and predictive accuracy. This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in biomedical image processing, leveraging machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and radiomics features. Emphasis is placed on practical applications, including potential solutions to address domain shift issues, the utilisation of synthetic images to augment CAD systems, and the integration of foundation models into clinical workflows. Ultimately, the aim is to explore how these techniques can seamlessly integrate into the conventional medical image processing workflow, encompassing image acquisition, retrieval, disease detection, prediction, and classification. TOPICS The workshop calls for submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: - Machine and Deep Learning techniques for image analysis (i.e., segmentation of cells, tissues, organs, lesions; classification of cells, diseases, tumours, etc.) - Image Registration Techniques - Image Preprocessing Techniques (e.g., noise reduction, enhancement of contrast) - Image-based 3D reconstruction - Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis Systems (CADs) to support clinicians in identifying pathological conditions - Radiomics and Artificial intelligence for personalised medicine - Machine and Deep Learning as tools to support medical diagnoses and decisions - Image retrieval (e.g., context-based retrieval, lesion similarity) - Advanced architecture for biomedical image remote processing, elaboration and transmission - 3D Vision, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality application for remote surgery - Image processing techniques for privacy-preserving AI in medicine. - Generation and utilisation of synthetic medical images for model training and validation - Foundation models (e.g., Vision Transformers, GPT-like architectures) for medical image analysis and multi-modal data integration - Techniques for evaluating the reliability and robustness of synthetic data in clinical scenarios - Ethical and Regulatory Aspects in AI-Driven Medical Imaging - Frameworks for ethical AI development and deployment in healthcare. - Addressing biases and ensuring fairness in AI-driven diagnostic systems. - Compliance with regulatory standards for AI-based medical devices - Addressing the transparency issue with explainable AI models in clinical practice. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Accepted papers will be included in the ICIAP 2025 proceedings, which will be published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS). When preparing your contribution, please follow the guidelines provided on the ICIAP main conference website. The maximum number of pages is 12 including references.

1st RAISE Workshop: Resilient AI Framework for Secure and Ethical Machine Learning Systems

by Bernardo Breve

1st RAISE Workshop: Resilient AI Framework for Secure and Ethical Machine Learning Systems co-located with the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter - "Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer Interaction in the Third Millenium” (CHITALY 2025) - https://chitaly2025.di.unisa.it/ Salerno, Italy 6-10 October, 2025 Workshop website: https://raise-ws.github.io/chitaly2025 Call for papers The emerging field of Resilient AI recognizes that technological systems cannot be viewed as isolated, abstract entities. Instead, they need to be understood in their broader socio-technical context, where AI and algorithms function as complex systems shaped by collective and distributive practices. In order to ensure that AI systems are robust, fair and in line with human values, it is crucial to develop methods that enhance their resilience across multiple dimensions, such as reliability, accountability, fairness and ethical integrity. A number of challenges need to be addressed to guarantee resilient AI. These include the need to balance human control and automation to ensure that AI systems remain intuitive, transparent and trustworthy, while adapting to user preferences and needs. Robustness and reliability are critical concerns, requiring mechanisms to detect and mitigate functional and non-functional defects, such as errors, biases and vulnerabilities, to maintain essential properties such as safety and accuracy. Moreover, fairness must be addressed within ML pipelines, embedding techniques that promote inclusivity and unbiased decision-making to prevent discrimination and reinforce social responsibility. Another pressing issue is the verification, validation, and testing of AI models; while advances in AI and search-based software engineering have enabled automated test case generation and validation, empirical studies are still needed to investigate AI defects and their impact on system performance. Furthermore, ensuring high-quality data is a fundamental challenge since effective data profiling, imputation, and anomaly detection must be developed to handle missing values, outliers, and inconsistences, improving overall AI model performance and reliability. The RAISE workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to address challenges including data quality, privacy protection, human-centered AI design, and the validation of machine learning systems. RAISE promotes interdisciplinary discussion to explore innovative techniques and empirical studies for building AI systems that are secure, interpretable, and inclusive. Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: • Data profiling approaches for AI systems • Data quality approaches for AI systems • Tools and metrics to summarize data relationships • Privacy concerns of AI systems • Privacy-preserving machine learning • Ethics and trustworthy AI • Reliability and fairness of AI-based systems • Resilient AI models • Empirical evaluation of resilient AI solutions in real-world cases • Verification and validation methods for AI-based systems • Explainable AI • AI solutions to critical scenarios • Domain-specific AI solutions • AI-based systems for human interaction • AI-based systems for requirements analysis • AI-based adaptive systems • User-centered design solutions for AI-based systems • AR/VR user-centered interfaces for AI-based systems • Adaptation of AR/VR in learning contexts • Neuro-Symbolic AI Important Dates First submission round - Submission deadline: June 13th 2025 - Notification: July 11th 2025 - Camera-ready: July 31st 2025 Second submission round - Submission deadline: September 5th 2025 - Notification: September 12th 2025 - Camera-ready: September 22nd 2025 Submissions and Evaluation Criteria We invite submissions of original research and position papers.

HCSE@INTERACT 2025 Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering - Call for Papers (Submissions due: May 26 AoE)

by Stefan Sauer

*(Apologies if you receive multiple e-mails on this subject via different channels!)* https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2025 <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2025> *Call for Papers* International Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering Balancing Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Value *organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodologies for User-Centered Systems Design * *at INTERACT 2025 <https://interact2025.org/> The 20th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction ** * *September 8/9, 2025 Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil* Theme The rapid advancement of digital technologies continues to reshape the way humans interact with software systems, raising critical questions about the balance between human values and the interplay of usability, user experience and automation. In this landscape, Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) plays a pivotal role in ensuring that software development remains aligned with user needs, ethical principles, and broader societal impacts. This edition of the HCSE workshop focuses on the intersection of Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Value, emphasizing the need for new approaches in designing socio-technical systems that integrate intelligent automation while preserving human agency and well-being. With AI-driven decision-making, adaptive interfaces, and autonomous systems becoming ubiquitous, it is crucial to explore how software engineering can accommodate these innovations while maintaining transparency, fairness, and user trust. Beyond the traditional themes of IFIP 13.2 workshops, this edition invites contributions fostering discussion among researchers and practitioners, to advance the dialogue on how HCSE can evolve to meet the demands of modern digital ecosystems while staying true to its human-centric principles. Contributions are invited that explore innovative methodologies, design principles, and case studies that highlight how intelligent software systems can be designed to enhance, rather than diminish, human experience. The ultimate goal is to develop approaches that harmonize interaction, artificial intelligence, and human value, fostering the creation of software that is not only powerful and efficient, but also trustworthy, inclusive, and ethically responsible. This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized at INTERACT 2015 in Bamberg, Germany <https://www.irit.fr/recherches/ICS/events/conferences/workshop-IFIPWG13.2-B…>, INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India <http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>, INTERACT 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifip-wg-13-2-workshop-interact/home>, INTERACT 2021 in Bari, Italy <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/>, and INTERACT 2023 in York, UK. Target Audience and Expected Outcomes This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human–computer interaction from a user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this workshop focus on methods, processes and approaches for designing, building and testing inter-active systems. We expect a high participation of IFIP Working Group 13.2 members. We particularly invite participants to present position papers describing real-life case studies that illustrate how they rethought HCI’s and SE’s interplay in order to address aspects such as agile development, sustainability, artificial intelligence, ethical considerations, and cybersecurity. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface design are welcome. We are especially interested in work that deals with current trends that change the way humans develop, use, interact and collaborate with technical components in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and tools for managing context of use and autonomous adaptation at design and run-time. Position papers will be made available through the workshop website. Furthermore, an extended version of selected papers will be considered for inclusion in a Springer LNCS post-proceedings volume published in conjunction with the other INTERACT workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups. Workshop Format This full-day workshop is in person only. It is organized around presentation of position papers and working activities in small groups. From the set of contributions, a subset of selected case studies will be invited to be presented at the beginning of the workshop and will be used to support the discussion that follows. The morning session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and presenting case studies. Participants will be invited to comment on the case studies and to report similar experiences. The afternoon sessions will be devoted to interactive sessions, where participants will be engaged to work in small groups and propose solutions to the problems of the case studies seen in the morning. Solutions proposed by the participants will be compiled and compared. Based on the lessons learned, participants will be incited to draft an agenda of future work that can be accomplished. We plan to run the workshop onsite in person only. If circumstances require it, we intend to switch to a completely digital format that will be run online. We will continuously adapt to any decision regarding the conference format by the INTERACT 2025 organizers. Submission Instructions In order to attend the workshop, participants are invited to submit position papers reporting original academic or industrial research relevant to the workshop's theme. These position papers (PDF files, 6-10 pages in Springer LNCS format, including abstract) shall report (practical) experiences related to research challenges and results on human-centered software engineering or user-centered development processes for interactive systems with a particular focus on digital-transformation aspects and technologies (such as mobile and wearable devices, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain, Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Digital Twin, Cybersecurity) and their impact on software properties or software development practices. Submissions are not anonymous and should include all author names, affiliations, and contact information. Authors should also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and their motivation to participate in this workshop. Submissions will be processed via the workshop web pages that will be managed by the workshop organizers at IFIP WG 13.2. Papers are submitted through the EasyChair website <https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=hcse-interact2025>. Submitted position papers will be reviewed by an international program committee comprising the organizers and selected members of IFIP Working Group 13.2 who are experts in the field. Participants will be invited to attend the workshop based on the result of the reviewing process. Accepted position papers will be made available through the workshop website. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted position paper must register and attend the workshop. Furthermore, an extended version of selected papers will be considered for inclusion in a Springer LNCS post-proceedings volume published in conjunction with the other INTERACT 2025 workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups. Important Dates Deadline for submission: May 26, 2025 (extended!) Acceptance notification: June 13, 2025 Final version of position paper: July 26th, 2025 Workshop date: September 8 or 9, 2025 Venue The workshop will be hosted in the frame of the 20th IFIP TC13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, August 28 September 8 – 12, 2025, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
