The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): First Combo Call for Workshop Papers

by Announce

*** First Combo Call for Workshop Papers *** 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/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the leading annual venue for researchers and practitioners to explore advancements at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). IUI 2026 attracted a record number of submissions for the main conference (561 full paper submissions after an initial submission of 697 abstracts). Although the submission deadline for the main conference is now over, we welcome the submission of papers to a number of workshops that will be held as part of IUI 2026. A list of these workshops, with a short description and the workshops' websites for further information, follows below. AgentCraft: Workshop on Agentic AI Systems Development (full-day workshop) Organizers: Karthik Dinakar (Pienso), Justin D. Weisz (IBM Research), Henry Lieberman (MIT CSAIL), Werner Geyer (IBM Research) URL: https://agentcraft-iui.github.io/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> Ambitious efforts are underway to build AI agents powered by large language models across many domains. Despite emerging frameworks, key challenges remain: autonomy, reasoning, unpredictable behavior, and consequential actions. Developers struggle to comprehend and debug agent behaviors, as well as determine when human oversight is needed. Intelligent interfaces that enable meaningful oversight of agentic plans, decisions, and actions are needed to foster transparency, build trust, and manage complexity. We will explore interfaces for mixed-initiative collaboration during agent development and deployment, design patterns for debugging agent behaviors, strategies for determining developer control and oversight, and evaluation methods grounding agent performance in real-world impact. AI CHAOS! 1st Workshop on the Challenges for Human Oversight of AI Systems (full-day workshop) Organizers: Tim Schrills (University of Lübeck), Patricia Kahr (University of Zurich), Markus Langer (University of Freiburg), Harmanpreet Kaur (University of Minnesota), Ujwal Gadiraju (Delft University of Technology) URL: https://sites.google.com/view/aichaos/iui-2026?authuser=0<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> As AI permeates high-stakes domains—healthcare, autonomous driving, criminal justice —failures can endanger safety and rights. Human oversight is vital to mitigate harm, yet methods and concepts remain unclear despite regulatory mandates. Poorly designed oversight risks false safety and blurred accountability. This interdisciplinary workshop unites AI, HCI, psychology, and regulation research to close this gap. Central questions are: How can systems enable meaningful oversight? Which methods convey system states and risks? How can interventions scale? Through papers, talks, and interactive discussions, participants will map challenges, define stakeholder roles, survey tools, methods, and regulations, and set a collaborative research agenda. CURE 2026: Communicating Uncertainty to foster Realistic Expectations via Human- Centered Design (half-day workshop) Organizers: Jasmina Gajcin (IBM Research), Jovan Jeromela (Trinity College Dublin), Joel Wester (Aalborg University), Sarah Schömbs (University of Melbourne), Styliani Kleanthous (Open University of Cyprus), Karthikeyan Natesan Ramamurthy (IBM Research), Hanna Hauptmann (Utrecht University), Rifat Mehreen Amin (LMU Munich) URL: https://cureworkshop.github.io/cure-2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> Communicating system uncertainty is essential for achieving transparency and can help users calibrate their trust in, reliance on, and expectations from an AI system. However, uncertainty communication is plagued by challenges such as cognitive biases, numeracy skills, calibrating risk perception, and increased cognitive load, with research finding that lay users can struggle to interpret probabilities and uncertainty visualizations. HealthIUI 2026: Workshop on Intelligent and Interactive Health User Interfaces (half-day workshop) Organizers: Peter Brusilovsky (University of Pittsburgh), Behnam Rahdari (Stanford University), Shriti Raj (Stanford University), Helma Torkamaan (TU Delft) URL: https://healthiui.github.io/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> As AI transforms health and care, integrating Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) in wellness applications offers substantial opportunities and challenges. This workshop brings together experts from HCI, AI, healthcare, and related fields to explore how IUIs can enhance long-term engagement, personalization, and trust in health systems. Emphasis is on interdisciplinary approaches to create systems that are advanced, responsive to user needs, mindful of context, ethics, and privacy. Through presentations, discussions, and collaborative sessions, participants will address key challenges and propose solutions to drive health IUI innovation. MIRAGE: Misleading Impacts Resulting from AI-Generated Explanations (full-day workshop) Organizers: Simone Stumpf (University of Glasgow), Upol Ehsan (Northeastern University), Elizabeth M. Daly (IBM Research), Daniele Quercia (Nokia Bell Labs) URL: https://mirage-workshop.github.io<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> Explanations from AI systems can illuminate, yet they can misguide. MIRAGE at IUI tackles pitfalls and dark patterns in AI explanations. Evidence now shows that explanations may inflate unwarranted trust, warp mental models, and obscure power asymmetries—even when designers intend no harm. We classify XAI harms as Dark Patterns (intentional, e.g., trust-boosting placebos) and Explainability Pitfalls (unintended effects without manipulative intent). These harms include error propagation (model risks), over-reliance (interaction risks), and false security (systemic risks). We convene an interdisciplinary group to define, detect, and mitigate these risks. MIRAGE shifts focus to safe explanations, advancing accountable, human-centered AI. PARTICIPATE-AI: Exploring the Participatory Turn in Citizen-Centred AI (half-day workshop) Organizers: Pam Briggs (Northumbria University), Cristina Conati (University of British Columbia), Shaun Lawson (Northumbria University), Kyle Montague (Northumbria University), Hugo Nicolau (University of Lisbon), Ana Cristina Pires (University of Lisbon), Sebastien Stein (University of Southampton), John Vines (University of Edinburgh) URL: https://sites.google.com/view/participate-ai/workshop<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> This workshop explores value alignment for participatory AI, focusing on interfaces and tools that bridge citizen participation and technical development. As AI systems increasingly impact society, meaningful and actionable citizen input in their development becomes critical. However, current participatory approaches often fail to influence actual AI systems, with citizen values becoming trivialized. This workshop will address challenges such as risk articulation, value evolution, democratic legitimacy, and the translation gap between community input and system implementation. Topics include value elicitation within different communities, critical analysis of failed participatory attempts, and methods for making citizen concerns actionable for developers. SHAPEXR: Shaping Human-AI-Powered Experiences in XR (full-day workshop) Organizers: Giuseppe Caggianese (National Research Council of Italy, Institute for High-Performance Computing and Networking Napoli), Marta Mondellini (National Research Council of Italy, Institute of Intelligent Industrial Systems and Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing, Lecco), Nicola Capece (University of Basilicata), Mario Covarrubias (Politecnico di Milano), Gilda Manfredi (University of Basilicata) URL: https://shapexr.icar.cnr.it<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> This workshop explores how eXtended Reality (XR) can serve as a multimodal interface for AI systems, including LLMs and conversational agents. It focuses on designing adaptive, human-centered XR environments that incorporate speech, gesture, gaze, and haptics for seamless interaction. Main topics include personalization, accessibility, cognitive load, trust, and ethics in AI-driven XR experiences. Through presentations, discussions, and collaborative sessions, the workshop aims to establish a subcommunity within IUI to develop a roadmap that includes design principles and methodologies for inclusive and adaptive intelligent interfaces, enhancing human capabilities across various domains, such as healthcare, education, and collaborative environments. TRUST-CUA: Trustworthy Computer-Using Generalist Agents for Intelligent User Interfaces (full-day workshop) Organizers: Toby Jia-Jun Li (University of Notre Dame), Segev Shlomov (IBM Research), Xiang Deng (Scale AI), Ronen Brafman (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev), Avi Yaeli (IBM Research) Zora (Zhiruo) Wang (Carnegie Mellon University) URL: https://sites.google.com/view/trust-cuaiui26/home<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> Computer-Using Agents (CUAs) are moving from point automations to generalist agents acting across GUIs, browsers, APIs, and CLIs—raising core IUI questions of trust, predictability, and control. This workshop advances trustworthy-by-design CUAs through human-centered methods: mixed-initiative interaction, explanation and sensemaking, risk/uncertainty communication, and recovery/rollback UX. Outcomes include (1) a practical TRUST-CUA checklist for oversight, consent, and auditing, (2) a user-centered evaluation profile (“CUBench-IUI,” e.g., predictability, oversight effort, time-to-recovery, policy-aligned success), and (3) curated design patterns and open challenges for deployable, accountable agentic interfaces.

[Extended Deadline] CFP Track Accessible Devices and Technologies (ADT '26) - ACM SAC 2026

by Mirko Franco

Track on Accessible Devices and Technologies (ADT ‘26) Thessaloniki, Greece, March 23 - 27, 2026 Part of the 41st ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC ‘26) https://unipd.link/ADT-2026 https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2026/ Theme and Scope Modern devices and technologies can represent a digital barrier for users with disabilities, but they can be exploited to become enabling tools for them. Accessibility of devices and technologies is a critical topic to allow inclusion of all users, especially due to the European laws that impose accessibility for new products and the definition of an updated version of WCAG (Web Accessibility Guidelines). This track invites scientists, engineers, and decision-makers from government, industry, and academia to present technical papers on their research and development results in areas of accessibility. This track can interest many researchers since it would give the chance to face a wide range of topics, i.e., web or mobile technologies, with different points of view, taking into account specific technological constraints and digital barriers. It is well-known that the so-called “curb cut effect” can be applied to any technological and digital context (in terms of devices, content, and services): technologies that were originally meant to benefit people with disabilities can help any other users. Moreover, the history and the evolution of several technologies have been influenced and/or motivated by the special needs of people with disabilities. This track will invite scientists, engineers, and decision-makers from government, industry, and academia to present technical papers on their research and development results in areas of accessibility, including but not limited to the following topics: · Accessible devices/assistive technologies: assistive technologies refer to all the assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities that enable users to perform tasks they were formerly unable to accomplish. On the one hand, the widespread diffusion of new devices and technologies stimulates researchers to find and apply new solutions to make them accessible to anyone. On the other hand, experiences in accessibility-related fields have been exploited and have provided benefits to users equipped with non-conventional devices when they emerged in the market. · Accessible solutions for e-learning, e-commerce, e-banking, etc: e-services and content often require specific technologies, being bounded by specific constraints when accessed by people with disabilities equipped with assistive technologies. Specific interaction modalities may affect interactive service access, while richness and quantity of content may affect the users’ ability to process information. · Accessible content: e-books, accessible TV, accessible broadcasting, etc. · Accessibility of games. · AI for Accessibility: AI can be exploited both for personalization (i.e., integrating AI-based personalization to support specific and special needs) and “enabler” (i.e., exploiting LLM to support the creation of accessible applications). Submission Guidelines We would like to invite authors to submit papers on research on the Accessibility area, with particular emphasis on assessing the current state of the art and identifying future directions. Original papers addressing any of the listed topics of interest (or related topics) will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind review process by at least three referees. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM SAC 2026 proceedings and published in the ACM digital library, being indexed by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus. Submissions fall into the following categories: · Original and unpublished research work; · Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business area; · Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains; · Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems. The track accepts full papers (max 8 pages), posters (max 2 pages), and SRC abstracts (max 2 pages). Submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing. Papers that will recevie high reviews (that is acceptable by reviewer standard) but will not be accepted due to space limitations can be invited for poster session. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright statement and must pay the registration fee and guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. No-show of scheduled papers will result in excluding the papers from the ACM Digital Library. See the track website https://unipd.link/ADT-2026 for more details. Important Dates · October 17, 2025 (EDT): Submission of regular papers and SRC research abstracts · November 21, 2025: Notification of papers, posters, and SRC research abstracts · December 5, 2025: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers/SRC · December 12, 2025: Authors registration due Organization · Ombretta Gaggi, University of Padua · Silvia Mirri, University of Bologna · Mike Paciello, AudioEye, WebABLE · Catia Prandi, University of Bologna Submission Portal Please submit your contribution through our online submission portal available at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sac2026 (regular papers) and https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sacsrc2026 (SRC abstracts).

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): First Call for Research Papers

by Announce

*** First Call for Research Papers *** International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) 29 September - 2 October 2026 https://conf.researchr.org/home/variability-2026<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=aGNpdGFseQkJCWhjaXRh…> The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) invites high-quality contributions from researchers and practitioners in software engineering, systems engineering, and related disciplines focussing on a broad spectrum of methods, concepts, and tools for variability. VARIABILITY aims to be the premier forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and results in all aspects of software and systems variability management, reuse, software configuration, and customization. As software and systems become increasingly configurable, reusable, and adaptable, managing their variability across all lifecycle phases is more critical—and more challenging —than ever. VARIABILITY 2026 seeks to bring together the diverse communities that address these challenges from theoretical, technical, and practical perspectives. VARIABILITY results from a merge of three prominent conferences focussing on software and systems variability, configuration and reuse: SPLC (the International Systems and Software Product Line Conference, 29 successful editions), VaMoS (the International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems, 19 successful editions), and ICSR (the International Conference on Systems and Software Reuse, 22 successful editions). VARIABILITY is by design open as a conference. It welcomes new fields of variability- intensive research, such as artificial intelligence, hybrid software-hardware systems, etc. For this first edition of VARIABILITY, we strive to continue the success of the predecessor conferences ICSR, SPLC, and VaMoS by welcoming high-quality submissions for the research track in numerous closely related areas, such as systems and software product lines, systems and software reuse, configurable systems and software, product configuration, and systems and software variability. We will award the best research paper and the best artifact paper. Topics of Interest We invite contributions on variability management, reuse, and configuration across all phases of the software and systems lifecycle. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Requirements & Domain Engineering • Domain analysis and variability modeling • Decision modeling and support • Customization and personalization specification • Requirements variability and traceability Architecture & Design • Variability-aware software architectures • Architecture-centric product line engineering • Model-driven engineering (MDE) • Multi-product lines, program families, product lines of product lines, software ecosystems Implementation & Code Generation • Generative programming and code synthesis • Modularization techniques for reusable code • Programming languages and frameworks for variability • Open-source strategies for software reuse Testing, Verification & Quality Assurance • Testing and analysis of configurable systems • Safety and security in variable systems • Formal Methods for Software Product Lines • Non-functional properties: quality-aware analysis, quality-driven configuration • Reuse in testing, verification, and quality assurance Evolution, Maintenance & Operation • Refactoring and restructuring of configurable systems • Reverse engineering, variability mining, and refactoring • Runtime variability and dynamic (software) product lines • Maintenance strategies for large-scale reused systems • Variability in DevOps and CI/CD pipelines AI and Data-Driven Methods • Machine learning for variability management • AI-assisted product configuration • Data and repository mining from product lines and configuration histories • Recommendation systems for reuse and customization Industrial Applications and Tool Support • Variability and reuse in AI, cyber-physical systems, robotics, automotive, aerospace, quantum computing, etc. • Sustainable technologies for variation and sustainable software reuse approaches • Human, organizational, and social aspects of variable systems and software • Industrial case studies and lessons learned • Tools support for all activities in variability management, configuration, and reuse Submission Guidelines Paper Types We invite the following types of submissions: • Full Papers (up to 16 pages excluding references): Research papers must present original, unpublished work with validated results through empirical evaluation, formal analysis, or implementation-based experiments.

Submissions will be double- blind and reviewed by at least three experts. Submissions will be evaluated based on their novelty, relevance, rigor, transparency, and presentation. Authors of submissions to the first deadline might be invited to submit a revision of their papers to the second deadline, which will be reviewed as a revision. Accepted papers will be published in the VARIABILITY 2026 proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series. Revisions Research-track papers can be submitted to the first or second cycle. In the first cycle, papers can receive the following decisions: accept, revision, or reject. Revision means that the reviewers believe that the paper has potential, but that its quality or contribution is not yet ready for publication. Such papers are offered lightweight shepherding by a community member, who is not necessarily a PC member or reviewer. Revised papers should be submitted to the second cycle together with a response letter, explaining how the reviewer comments were addressed. They are then reviewed by the same PC members. Papers rejected in the first cycle can be resubmitted in the second cycle, but need to contain an appendix “Changes to First-Cycle Submission” at the end of the PDF (after references, regardless of the page limit) that lists the major changes in bullet-point format. Journal Special Issue Selected accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions with at least 30% additional and original material, to be published in a special issue in a reputable Software Engineering journal (currently under negotiation).

Call for Papers for the Second Submission Round of Full Papers and Technical Notes of EICS 2026: The 18th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems, 30 June - 3 July, 2026, Patras, Greece

by Eleftheria Lito Michanetzi

Call for Papers for the Second Submission Round 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 (2nd Round, Full Papers & Technical Notes): October 24, 2025 About EICS 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 of Interest include, but are not limited to: - Contributions should advance the state of the art in engineering 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 tools for building interactive systems (design, prototyping, evaluation, testing, etc.) - Software architectures for interactive systems - Formal methods within interactive systems engineering - Bridging engineering and design practices - Engineering design and evaluation tools - Computational techniques for designing/evaluating interactive systems - Interactive data-driven systems - Interaction techniques & devices (adaptive, tangible, haptic, voice, gestures, multimodal, VR/AR/MR/XR, wearable systems, etc.) - Integration of hardware/software in interactive systems (fabrication, cyber-physical systems, physical computing) - Systems for diverse user groups (children, elderly, people with disabilities) - Collaborative multi-user interactive systems - AI and interactive systems: - Engineering systems embedding AI - Interaction-driven AI technologies - AI in the engineering lifecycle (design, prototyping, evaluation, etc.) Newcomer’s Guide: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3300960 Full Papers & 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 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.
