*** Last Mile for Workshop Proposals Submission ***
The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)
March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus
https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/
(*** Submission Deadline: August 29, 2025 (extended and final!) ***)
We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction
with the Annual International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI
2026), Paphos, Cyprus.
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”).
We welcome proposals for a wide range of *full-day* or *half-day* workshops, 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.
Review and Oversight by Workshop Chairs
Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the Workshop Chairs. It is possible that
workshops may be cancelled, shortened, merged, or restructured if there are insufficient
submissions.
Workshop 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).
Responsibilities of Workshop Organizers
• Coordinate the Call for Papers, including solicitation, submission handling, and peer
review process.
• Create and maintain a dedicated website with workshop information. The IUI 2026
website will link to this page.
• Prepare and communicate a Call for Participation, targeting both IUI and broader relevant
communities (e.g., via mailing lists, social media, newsgroups, or offline events).
• Facilitate the planned activities, including paper presentations, discussions, and/or
interactive elements.
• Submit a workshop summary for inclusion in the ACM Digital Library.
• Collect camera-ready papers and author agreements from workshop participants for the
joint workshop proceedings (CEUR or similar).
Note that for the joint proceedings (CEUR or similar), submissions should be peer-reviewed
and will need to meet publishers’ guidelines. CEUR, for example, requires a 5-page
minimum per contribution. Note that not all workshop formats listed above may meet
these requirements, and we may not be able to include them.
IUI 2026 is an in-person event, and we expect workshop organizers to attend, allowing the
workshop to be conducted on-site. One author per paper is expected to attend in person
to present the work.
Proposal Format
Workshop proposals should be a maximum of four pages long (single-column format).
Prepare your submission using the latest templates: Word Submission Template

post-workshop publications over the years and acceptance statistics. If this is the first
edition of the workshop, describe how it differs from others on similar topics (e.g., by
including conference names and years).
• Organizer(s): Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the organizer(s). Provide a
brief description of the background of the organizer(s). Strong proposals normally include
organizers who bring differing perspectives on the topic and are actively connected to the
communities of potential participants. Please indicate the primary contact person and the
organizers who will attend the workshop. Also, please provide a list of other workshops
organized by workshop organizers in the past.
• Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members of the (tentative)

=============================================
[*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 ensure that
professionals across various domains can confidently integrate AI tools
into their workflows, without requiring deep technical knowledge of the
underlying algorithms.

*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Does Artificial Intelligence (AI) make Participatory Design (PD)
obsolete? AI systems are deployed rapidly across domains of considerable
social significance—in healthcare, education, employment, criminal
justice, and many others—without appropriate safeguards or
accountability structures in place. At the same time, there is a growing
interest in using participatory approaches for the design, development,
and evaluation of AI systems across industries, academia and the public
sector. Researchers have started to explore different aspects of AI
tools for co-creation in PD and different co-creation processes for the
design of AI-based solutions. In this special issue, we aim to collect
and share explorations with and about AI in PD to create a better
understanding of the challenges and opportunities for co-designing
future ethical, responsible, and explainable AI solutions.
Early PD projects were motivated by the introduction of computer
technologies into industrial workplaces, where they threatened to
impoverish or take over jobs. Just like computers were a threat to work
and workers in the 1970s and 80s, AI seems to be a threat to workers—and
societies—today. This is an argument for using a PD approach aimed at
understanding the technology and its potential for changing workplaces
and work practices, as well as to open up for workers to have a say in
choices concerning the technology during its design and use. We see two
different combinations of AI and PD: a) the use of AI tools in PD for
design inspiration or co-ideation, and b) using PD activities to
collaboratively envision digital futures with AI. Can PD help to
understand AI and its potential for changing our lives? Bratteteig and
Verne argue that PD is well suited for users and designers working
together to negotiate and mitigate the challenges AI poses to our
digitalized societies. However, they argue that PD researchers need to
navigate through three challenges: understanding AI technology,
evaluating AI solutions, and distinguishing between “normal use” and
training of AI services. Voinov and Bousquet propose participatory
modeling as a purposeful learning process for action that engages the
implicit and explicit knowledge of stakeholders to create formalized and
shared representation(s) of reality.
As a step towards broadening the discussion about AI and PD, our
proposal seeks to extend a warm invitation to researchers and
professionals worldwide who are exploring the intersection of PD and AI,
including both aspects of mutual learning and co-designing. This special
issue is also an extension of a workshop that took place at NORDICHI
2024. The purpose of this special issue, therefore, in addition to
collecting contributions from those who participated in the workshop, is
to broaden the discussion to include scholars and practitioners who are
engaged in the discourse about AI and PD and who would like to
contribute with and share their own visions.
