Second CfP EICS 2026 - Third Submission Round

by Evropi Stefanidi

Second Call for Papers for the Third Submission Round of 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 for the 3rd Round of PACM EICS 2026 for Full Papers and Technical Notes: February 13th, 2026* 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 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-particip… Papers are submitted using https://new.precisionconference.com Use of Generative AI in manuscript preparation Authors must read ACM’s policy on the use of Generative AI in authoring papers found in https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/frequently-asked-questions. All submissions will be evaluated against the criteria set by the policy. Papers found to contain material that breaches these guidelines risk desk rejection. 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. Please find more information at: https://eics.acm.org/2026/cfp.html PACM-EICS Full Papers and Technical Notes chairs for EICS 2026 Célia Martinie and Davide Spano.

DEADLINE EXTENSION -- ACM ICMI 2026: Call for Multimodal Grand Challenges

by Gualtiero Volpe

ICMI 2026 CALL FOR MULTIMODAL GRAND CHALLENGES !!! DEADLINE EXTENSION !!! ============================================ 5-9 October 2026, Napoli - Italy https://icmi.acm.org/2026/ ============================================ -> THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS EXTENDED TO JANUARY 16, 2026 We are calling for teams to propose one or more ICMI Multimodal Grand Challenges. The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference's goals are to implement believable, autonomous, adaptive, context-aware Human Computer Interaction (HCI) systems able to infer how organizational, cultural and physical contexts shape individual perception, choices and actions. Such systems, e.g. synthetic agents, robots, avatars or analysis systems act in real-time, sustain dyadic/group interactions and actively cooperate in discussion, decision-making, problem solving, learning/knowledge building. These systems gather information and meanings in the course of everyday activity and build knowledge and practical ability to render the world interpretable while interacting with users attuned to behavioural sequences that underpin collaboration. ICMI Multimodal Grand Challenges aim to inspire new ideas in the ICMI community and create momentum for future collaborative work. Analysis, synthesis, and interactive tasks are all possible. Challenge papers will be indexed in the main proceedings of ICMI. We invite the ICMI community from various fields related to multimodal interaction to collectively define and tackle these scientific Grand Challenges in this domain including but not limited to the following categories: 1. DATA CHALLENGES: gathering new experimental data and theories across a spectrum of disciplines; 2. ALGORITHM CHALLENGES: developing algorithms, models and computational paradigms that may equip machines with human level automaton intelligence; 3. APPLICATION CHALLENGES: implementing HCI systems that enhance quality of life in society and simplify the user access to future telecommunication services; 4. MULTIDISCIPLINARY CHALLENGES: promoting multidisciplinary exchanges, educational initiatives, and new socio-psychological and computational approaches towards socially-emotionally-context-aware Information Communication Technologies (ICT). Prospective organizers should submit a five-page maximum proposal containing the following information: 1. Title 2. Abstract appropriate for possible Web promotion of the Challenge 3. Distinctive topics to be addressed and specific goals 4. Detailed description of the Challenge and its relevance to multimodal interaction 5. Length (full day or half day) 6. Plan for soliciting participation 7. Description of how submissions (challenge's submissions and papers) will be evaluated, and a list of proposed reviewers 8. Proposed schedule for releasing datasets (if applicable) and/or systems (if applicable) and receiving submissions 9. Short biography of the organizers (preferably from multiple institutions) 10. Funding source (if any) that supports or could support the challenge organization 11. Draft call for papers; affiliations and email address of the organisers; summary of the Grand Challenge; list of potential Technical Program Committee members and their affiliations; important dates Proposals will be evaluated based on originality, ambition, feasibility, and implementation plan. A Challenge with dataset(s) or system(s) that has had pilot results to ensure its representativity and suitability to the proposed task will be given preference for acceptance; an additional 1 page description must be attached in such case. Continuation of or variants on the 2025 challenges are welcome, even if we require submissions of this form to highlight the number of participants that attended during the previous year and describe what changes (if any) will be made from the previous year. The ICMI organizers will offer support with basic logistics, which includes rooms and equipment to run the Workshop, coffee breaks can be offered if synchronised with the main conference. =============================================== Important Dates and Contact Details =============================================== -> Proposals due: January 16, 2026 EXTENDED Proposal notification: February 7, 2026 POSTPONED Grand challenge date: October 5, 2026 =============================================== Proposals should be emailed to the ICMI 2025 Multimodal Grand Challenge Chairs, Sebastian Zepf (sebastian.zepf(a)mercedes-benz.com) and Alessandro Vinciarelli (Alessandro.Vinciarelli(a)glasgow.ac.uk). ============================================ CALL FOR WORKSHOPS ============================================ Please note that the call for workshops remains open until January 16, 2026. We are seeking workshop proposals on emerging research areas related to the main conference topics and those that focus on multi-disciplinary research. We would also strongly encourage workshops that will include a diverse set of keynote speakers (factors to consider include: gender, ethnic background, institutions, years of experience, geography, etc.). The content of accepted workshops is under the control of the workshop organizers. Workshops may be of half-day or one-day duration. Workshop organizers will be expected to manage the workshop content, solicit submissions, be present to moderate the discussion and panels, invite experts in the domain, conduct the reviewing process, and maintain a website for the workshop. Workshop papers will be indexed by ACM Digital Library in an adjunct proceedings, and a short workshop summary by the organizers will be published in the main conference proceedings.
