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). — Emanuele Panizzi and Maria Menendez-Blanco Publicity Chairs On behalf of the Chitaly 2025 Organizing Committee <https://chitaly2025.di.unisa.it/327-2/> -- Emanuele Panizzi Associate Professor Head of Gamification Lab Computer Science Department Faculty of Information Engineering, Informatics, and Statistics Sapienza University of Rome, Italy

[Publication] New Article on Smart Green Energy Management in Smart Cities (MDPI)

by Khushi Nilanshu Patel

Dear Researchers, We're excited to share our newly published research article titled: *“Smart Green Energy Management for Campus: An Integrated Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning Model”* in *Smart Cities* (MDPI), Volume 8, Issue 1, 2025. *Access the full article here:* https://doi.org/10.3390/smartcities8010030 This work presents a *smart green energy management system (SGEMS)* that integrates *machine learning* (XGBoost) with *reinforcement learning* to optimize both energy consumption and solar generation across a university campus setting. Using real-world data from campus buildings, the system achieves high prediction accuracy (RMSE: 14.72 for energy consumption; 75.45 for solar generation) and enables data-driven energy decision-making through a web-based interface. *Key Contributions:* - Integrated ML + RL framework for energy forecasting and optimization. - Real-time dashboard to support energy-aware decisions for grid independence. - Campus-wide application using data from the Valahia University of Targoviste (UVTgv), Romania. - Benchmarks set for future green campus initiatives. This research offers valuable insights for professionals and researchers working in: - Smart Cities and Sustainable Campuses - Renewable Energy Management - AI Applications in Infrastructure - IoT-based Energy Systems I hope you find the article informative and helpful in your work. Please feel free to share it within your networks or reach out if you'd like to discuss it further. Warm regards, Charan Teja Madabathula, Kunal Agrawal, Vijen Mehta, Swathi Kasarabada, Sai Srimai Kommamuri, Guannan Liu, and Jerry Gao
