Call for Late-Breaking Results 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 (Late-Breaking Results): March 12, 2026 Notification to authors: April 15, 2026 Camera-ready deadline: April 30, 2026 About Late-Breaking Results Late-Breaking Results (LBR) describe preliminary results of ongoing research or incremental work that present new ideas, concepts, systems, or approaches focusing on methods, techniques, and tools for designing and developing interactive systems. LBR submissions are intended to elicit useful feedback on early-stage or incremental work that can benefit from discussion with colleagues in the EICS community. We particularly welcome papers suitable for demonstration at the conference. Supplementary videos showing the system in action are strongly encouraged. Accepted LBR papers will be published in the conference’s companion proceedings and made available in the ACM Digital Library. Topics of Interest Submissions should advance the state of the art in the engineering of interactive systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Modeling, specification, and analysis of interactive systems - Requirements engineering for interactive systems - Software architectures and formal methods for interactive systems - Methods, processes, principles, tools, and frameworks for developing interactive systems (design, prototyping, implementation, evaluation, verification, validation, and testing) - Domain-specific languages, notations, and APIs for interactive systems - Integration of engineering concerns into the design process - Engineering data-driven and smart interactive systems (adaptive, context-aware, AI-based, multimodal, etc.) - Engineering for accessibility at scale and integration with software development pipelines - Engineering serious games and cognitive stimulation tools (embodied agents, humanoid robots) - Interactive systems using emerging technologies (e.g., touch and multitouch, voice, gestures, EEG, AR/MR/VR/XR, large language models, chatbots, humanoid robots) - Interactive systems for diverse audiences (children, elderly, people with disabilities) - Interactive systems for various domains (health, entertainment, safety-critical systems, emergency management, etc.) - Engineering hardware/software integration (cyber-physical systems, tangible, haptic, wearable, robotic systems) - Engineering for specific properties (usability, user experience, safety, security, dependability) - Building human-centred AI systems (explainable AI, intelligible design, human-in-the-loop, adaptive and context-aware interactive agents) Format and Submission Guidelines LBR papers will be published as 6-page double-column papers generated by ACM TAPS. For review, authors must submit using the single-column review template. The single-column review submission should be approximately 8–12 pages, up to 5,000 words, excluding references. Authors must not use the old double-column format at the review stage. Submissions must be made via: https://new.precisionconference.com Citation Guidelines Authors are kindly requested to ensure references report the correct publication format to facilitate citation indexing, particularly for conferences publishing in journal proceedings such as PACM. Please avoid informal conference-style citations when a PACM reference is available. Anonymization Policy The review process is double-anonymous. Authors must remove author and institutional identities from the title, headers, and document metadata, and leave the acknowledgments section blank. Citations to prior work, including the authors’ own, should remain but must be written in the third person (e.g., “As described by [10]…”). Further suppression of identifying information in the paper body is left to the authors’ discretion. Authors are reminded that preprints or public dissemination during the review period may compromise anonymity and potentially introduce unconscious bias.
