[Hcitaly] Call for Tutorials of EICS 2026: The 18th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems, 30 June - 3 July, 2026, Patras, Greece

Call for Tutorials - EICS 2026 June 30 – July 3, 2026 Patras, Greece https://eics.acm.org/2026/ Important Dates (All dates are AoE) Submission deadline (Tutorials): March 12, 2026 Notification to authors: April 22, 2026 Camera-ready deadline: April 30, 2026 About Tutorials EICS 2026 invites proposals for tutorials on the engineering of interactive computing systems. Tutorials are intended to provide a broad and in-depth overview of a topic beyond a regular paper presentation, to inform and train participants in new or emerging approaches, or to expand on techniques, methods, and processes that improve how complex interactive systems can be built. Tutorials should be designed for a diverse audience, including PhD students, experienced practitioners, and specialised researchers. Each proposal will be evaluated based on its anticipated benefit for participants, its fit within the overall tutorial program, relevance to research and practice, timeliness, importance, audience appeal, and the instructors’ expertise and experience. EICS aims to stimulate and support the creation of reusable tutorial materials and to provide a platform for presenters to distribute instructional content that can be cited and reused by the community. Depending on circumstances, tutorials may need to be delivered online; presenters should take this possibility into account when preparing their proposals. Tutorial Submissions Tutorials will be assigned time slots ranging from a minimum of 1 hour to a maximum of 3 hours. Proposals requesting longer durations should clearly motivate the need for additional time. Each tutorial proposal must include: - A description (maximum two pages, including text and figures) of the proposed tutorial - A separate PDF file containing sample material that would be presented if the tutorial is accepted - Background information on the presenters The proposal description should include the following information: - Title and abstract: A clear title and abstract that allow attendees to quickly understand the tutorial’s subject - Aim and objectives: The overall aim of the tutorial and the concrete learning outcomes for participants, including its relevance to the EICS community - Target audience: Intended audience level (basic or advanced) and any prerequisites - Basic structure: Intended duration and planned structure (e.g., sequence of topics) - Operational requirements: Any requirements beyond a standard PC projector (e.g., audio equipment) - References: Key papers, books, or other materials the tutorial builds upon Tutorial submissions will be selected by the Tutorial Chairs, possibly with additional reviewers. Authors will receive light feedback on their proposals. Format and Submission Guidelines Tutorial submissions must follow the ACM TAPS process and use the official single-column template. Authors must not use the old double-column format. Must be submitted via: https://new.precisionconference.com Use of Generative AI in Manuscript Preparation Authors must comply with ACM’s policy on the use of Generative AI in authoring papers, available at: https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/frequently-asked-questions All submissions will be evaluated according to this policy.
