CfP - Human Work Interaction Design 2026 (HWID 2026)

by Barbara Rita BARRICELLI

--------------------------------- CfP - Human Work Interaction Design 2026 (HWID 2026) Harmonisation of human and machine intelligence in the 5th Industrial Revolution (5IR) Workplace June 17-18, 2026 University of West London, St. Mary’s Road, London (United Kingdom) https:/wg6.ifip-tc13.org/human-work-interaction-design-2026-hwid-2026 8th Working Conference of the IFIP WG 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design --------------------------------- Technologies in work settings are increasingly underpinned by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This means that applications and platforms such as those in the Metaverse, Digital Twin (DT) systems, and Industry 4.0 and 5.0 are becoming increasingly autonomous and intelligent. While these developments promise efficiency and innovation, they also present risks of over-reliance on technology and a potential abdication of human agency in the workplace. Such reliance may lead workers to underestimate their own cognitive and creative capabilities and to privilege machine intelligence over human skills. Rather than automating tasks and relegating workers to supervisory or backup roles, augmentation seeks to enable meaningful cooperation between humans and machines. Although this concept has been well studied in terms of efficacy and efficiency, further efforts in Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) research are required to support well-being, trust, and transparency; to ensure human autonomy and governance within human–machine teams; and to respect human values. Industry 5.0 builds on the technological foundations of Industry 4.0 by shifting the focus from productivity and efficiency toward human well-being and sustainability. In this context, the harmonisation of human and machine intelligence requires the ability to measure, analyse, and apply affective and contextual data about workers and workplace environments in order to design, integrate, and optimise work experiences. This conference, therefore, calls for inclusive and interdisciplinary approaches to unpacking Industry 5.0 and re-conceptualising work augmentation in AI-driven environments. We particularly encourage the integration of perspectives from the social sciences, arts, design, and humanities into the design and governance of intelligent work systems. This call seeks contributions that explore the augmentation of human cognition in line with human values through research of new frameworks, models, approaches, and case studies for Industry 5.0. The Fifth Industrial Revolution (5IR) focuses on harmonising human ability and well-being, while simultaneously ensuring human beings can make effective use of 5IR technologies in the workplace. This edition of the HWID working conference aims to attract submissions from professionals in academia, national labs, and industry, as well as from students. The event will provide a platform to discuss tools, procedures, and professional competencies essential for harmonizing human and machine intelligence, central to Industry 5.0. KEYNOTE SPEAKER HWID2026 is a two-day working conference that focuses on discussion and exchange of ideas. During this edition, HWID2026 is pleased to welcome Professor Karen Cham, Director of the Behavioural Research Analytics in Neurotechnological Systems (BRAINS) Lab at Kingston University, expert in Augmented Intelligence, Digital Transformation & Design, as a keynote speaker. TOPICS - Human-centred UI design with and of 5IR technologies in the workplace - Human-AI interaction and collaboration - Sociotechnical Theory and Methods for 5IR - Collaborative systems design for Industry 5.0 - Human Digital Twins in the future of work - Behavioral analytics and data modelling - Safety and well-being of workers in the workplace (e.g., trust and training) - Ethics, policy, and law in 5IR - Case studies and implications of 5IR technologies (e.g., discretionary effort, job satisfaction) - Education and coaching to afford harmonisation of human and 5IR technologies in the workplace - Human and social sciences, creative arts, and design - Digital readiness for Industry 5.0 technologies in workplaces. - Design for occupational well-being in the 5IR IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: February 8 Notification to authors: March 6 Camera ready: March 27 Conference: June 17-18, 2026 SUBMISSIONS We invite authors to submit full papers (minimum 6 pages, maximum 12 pages, excluding references) formatted according to the LNCS template available on the Springer website: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… The link to the submission system: https://meteor.springer.com/HWID2026 Each paper will be reviewed by three reviewers (single-blind).

Second CfP EICS 2026 - Third Submission Round

by Evropi Stefanidi

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.
