[CFP] CRISTAIN 2025 Workshop

by Eleonora CALO'

[CRISTAIN 2025] The “supporting CRIme reSolution Through Artificial Intelligence” workshop explores the use of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, and augmented reality, to support professionals in the field of criminal investigation. The initiative aims to introduce new methodologies that can enhance current investigative practices. A key element is a human-centered approach which ensures effective and ethical tools that can be easily used by professionals in the field. Through discussion and dialogue among participants, the workshop can foster the identification of effective solutions to support the management of the investigation process. This includes building trust in automated systems, supporting human oversight and interpretability, and enabling collaborative decision-making between humans and machines. Particular attention will be provided to how human-centered methods can help in the mitigation risks and biases that should be properly handled in AI-based systems. Such methods ensures that professionals across various domains can confidently integrate AI tools into their workflows, without requiring deep technical knowledge of the underlying algorithms. ============================================= The workshop *CRISTAIN* will be held at the conference *CHItaly 2025* <https://chitaly2025.di.unisa.it/> - 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter, *October 6-10*, Salerno, Italy. ================================================= You can find all the information about the CRISTAIN workshop on the website: https://cristain-ws.github.io/CHItaly25/ Important Dates The *important dates* for paper submission have been divided into two rounds. *First round* - Paper submission deadline: *June 13th* - Paper acceptance notice: *July 11th* - Camera-ready submission: *July 31st* *Second round* - Paper submission deadline: *September 5th* - Paper acceptance notice: *September 12th* - Camera-ready submission: *September 22nd* Submission - Short paper:* 5 - 9 pages* Topics Tuned to the field of crime, topics include, but are not limited to: - Crime Scene Analyses - Case-studies on Crime Analyses - Context-aware decision making - Decision support system - Process management in complex domains - Domain-specific data collection - Data Extraction, Transformation and Loading - Data preparation and processing - Emotional AI - Neuro-Symbolic AI - Conversational AI and voice interfaces - Personalization and predictive interaction - Distributed interactions among intelligent systems - AI-based adaptive systems - Secure AI - Unbiased AI systems - Ethics and Trustworthy AI - Awareness and transparency in technology usage - Environmental impacts of technologies - Immersive experiences and virtual environments - Integration of technologies in complex domains - Haptic and olfactory technologies - New sensory dimensions for user experiences - Redefining human capabilities through technology Papers should be submitted in PDF format to easychair ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cristain2025 <https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=cristain2025>) and final versions of accepted papers will be published in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings ( http://ceur-ws.org/).

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

The aim of the Journal-First (JF) submission category is to further enrich the program of ICTSS, as well as to provide an overall more flexible path to publication and dissemination of original research that is within the scope of ICTSS. A submission in this category must adhere to the following criteria: ■ It should be clearly within the scope of the conference. ■ It should be recent: it should have been accepted and made publicly available in a journal (online or in print) by January 1, 2023 or more recently. ■ It has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, Journal- First tracks of other conferences or workshops. ■ The submission has to be in the form of a 4-page extended abstract and has to provide a concise summary of the published journal paper. ■ It must be marked as such in the submission’s, and must explicitly include full bibliographic details (including a DOI) of the journal publication they are based on. Since the referenced journal papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the corresponding journals, submissions in the JF category will not be reviewed again for technical content. Submissions will be judged on the basis of the above criteria, but also considering how well they would complement the conference’s technical program. Accepted submissions in this category will be part of the proceedings of ICTSS 2025, with the title equal to the original title of the article with the prefix.

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
