Workshops aim to provide a venue for presenting research on emerging or specialized topics of interest and to offer an informal forum for discussing research questions and challenges. Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference (“Where HCI meets AI”). Tutorials aim to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent user interfaces and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We welcome proposals for a wide range of *full-day* or *half-day* workshops and *full-day*, *half-day* or *quarter-day* tutorial formats and activities, including but not limited to: • Mini Conferences: Workshops that focus on a specific topic and may have their own paper submission and review processes. • Interactive Formats: Workshops that encourage active participation and hands-on experiences through break-out sessions or group work to explore specific topics. They may have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the discussions and outcomes. • Emerging Work Sessions: Workshops that foster discussion around emerging ideas. Organizers may raise specific topics and invite position papers, late-breaking results, or extended abstracts. • Project-Centric Formats: Workshops tied closely to a specific existing large-scale funded project(e.g., NSF, EU) with the goal to engage a broader community. • Interactive Competitions: Formats that invite individuals and teams to participate in challenges or hackathons on selected topics relevant to IUI. • Tutorials: Sessions that provide a structured instruction on topics aligned with the conference theme, such as HCI methods, AI techniques, methodological frameworks, tools, labs or hands-on experiences for building intelligent user interfaces. Review and Oversight by Workshop and Tutorial Chairs Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the Workshop and Tutorial Chairs. It is possible that workshops may be cancelled, shortened, merged, or restructured if there are insufficient submissions. Workshop and Tutorial summaries will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2026. We will also publish joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through CEUR or a similar venue).

[CfP] Workshop "Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems" (DIGI-Teens 2025)

by Luigi De Russis

** Apologies for cross-posting ** Call for Papers – Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2025) CHItaly 2025 Workshop October 2025 - Salerno, Italy More info: https://sites.google.com/view/2nd-digiteens-ws --- ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Recently, researchers have been examining the unforeseen issues caused by the excessive use of personal devices and online services, especially as companies increasingly employ "attention-capture" tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users' psychological vulnerabilities, aiming to boost advertising revenue, resulting in tangible repercussions on users' perceived agency and often leading to a perceived lack of control over their technology use. These problems gave rise to a new kind of psychological "digital wellbeing," investigated in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and psychology. Traditional strategies employed by practitioners and researchers involve the creation of Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), i.e., mobile applications and browser extensions that empower users to monitor their usage patterns and implement interventions, such as timers and lock-out mechanisms, to self-regulate device usage. Yet, researchers and the users themselves are starting to warn that achieving digital wellbeing is a path of personal growth that requires education more than self-monitoring strategies. The objective of this workshop is to establish a venue for the academic and industrial communities to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education, aiming to promote the development of strategies and tools to "teach" users – particularly children and teenagers – to use technology more meaningfully and consciously. This objective can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by creating novel DSCTs that include educational aspects, serious games, collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning at school, or leveraging AI and, in particular, large language models (LLMs) to create adaptive, personalized educational experiences that help users develop healthier digital habits and skills for navigating online environments. This workshop is part of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (CHItaly 2025). CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, psychology, design, and/or education to engage in dialog on the topics below. A key priority of our workshop will be to invite submissions from an intellectually diverse and global group of participants to further discussions on how appropriate human-centered design can contribute to digital wellbeing education. Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper (2-4 pages) describing and highlighting their contributions to the workshop topics. The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems; - tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school; - strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing; - novel DSCTs that include educational aspects; - gamification strategies for digital wellbeing; - AI-based personalized digital wellbeing learning; - ethical, social, and policy-making factors. SUBMISSIONS Submissions of position papers should be of 2-4 pages, in the ACM Primary Article Submission Templates (single column, https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Papers should be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=digiteens2025). They will be reviewed by at least one qualified reviewer with expertise in the relevant subject area. The workshop chairs will make final acceptance decisions based on these reviews, considering factors such as relevance to the workshop themes, originality of contribution, and overall quality. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop. Virtual participation will be made possible. Accepted and presented papers will be made available on CEUR Workshop Proceedings, if possible, while workshop results will be published on our website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: 14 July 2025 Notification: 1 August 2025 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Luca Scibetta, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Luigi De Russis, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Alberto Monge Roffarello, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Catia Prandi, Università di Bologna, Italy Chiara Ceccarini, Università di Bologna, Italy

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-participa nts-and-subjects Submission deadline for the 1st Round of PACM EICS 2026 for Full Papers and Technical Notes: July 25, 2025 Papers are submitted using https://new.precisionconference.com PACM-EICS Full Papers and Technical Notes chairs for EICS 2026 Célia Martinie and Davide Spano
