International Workshop on
Human-Centered Software Engineering
Rethinking the Interplay of
Human–Computer Interaction and Software Engineering
in the Age of Digital Transformation
organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 onMethodologies for User-Centered Systems

atINTERACT 2023 <https://interact2023.org/>
The 19th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction
August 28/29, 2023
York, United Kingdom
Theme
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by a process of technological
transformation that is affecting the social structure across the globe. It has
changed the way of shopping, of relating to others, of living. At the core of
the process are technologies that generate important cultural impacts in our
lives. In Europe, this process is differently named, depending on the different
countries: digitisation, digital transformation, digital transition, etc. Here
we call it digital transformation, but no matter how you name it, it has in fact
revolutionized every market and company, as well as our life.
We follow the definition by Gong & Ribiere (2020) that states that Digital
transformation is “A fundamental change process, enabled by the innovative use
of digital technologies accompanied by the strategic leverage of key resources
and capabilities, aiming to radically improve an entity* and redefine its value
proposition for its stakeholders.” (*An entity could be: an organization, a
business network, an industry, or society.).
Various technologies enable the digital transformation process: mobile and
wearable devices, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain,
Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning, Digital Twin, Cybersecurity. However, while introducing undeniable
benefits, they also bring some important issues.
This workshop is looking for contributions from various fields, with a focus on:
*
the domain of Internet of Things (IoT) and IoT devices that are becoming
more pervasive and social
*
IoT also introduces issues from the cybersecurity perspective
*
The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on human lives and the
economywith the problem thatthe required computing power is high, there are
worriesof how AI models predict the output, data privacy and securityetc
*
Digital Twin (DT) is another protagonist of the digital transformation
process. It is a virtual replica of a real-world object that is run in a
simulation environment to mirror its physical pendant, with digital and
physical twins influencing each other including the ability to perform
predictions.
*
benefits and issues of other technologies: usability of mobile and wearable
devices, as well as of Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality; user awareness
about the usage and the security of Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain.
What emerges is that Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) is more relevant
than ever. The interplay between Human–Computer Interaction and Software
Engineering needs to be rethought and fortified for a rapid response to the
evolution of technologies, while also considering aspects such as greater
agility in service development, sustainability, ethical considerations,
cybersecurity, user mindset and awareness, to name just a few. But also the
approaches for addressing them have to be carefully considered. For example,
some software development companies show an increasing interest in low-code
development platforms to facilitate application development by domain experts
without sophisticated software development knowledge, as a possible solution to
the need of more agile, fast and also sustainable service development. Domain
experts are, however, not trained in software development methods. This
introduces a risk of domain experts creating unusable applications or exceeding
the designated time frame of a project (or both).

Objective
In this workshop, we aim to broaden the traditional scope of the workshop series
of IFIP Working Group 13.2beyond the traditional themes of IFIP 13.2 workshops.
Particularly, this edition promotes sharing of knowledge and experiences that
address how to deal with the challenges of the digital transformation and its
influence on human-centered socio-technical system design and development
practices.
This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized atINTERACT
2015 in Bamberg, Germany
<https://www.irit.fr/recherches/ICS/events/conferences/workshop-IFIPWG13.2-Bamberg/>,INTERACT
2017 in Mumbai, India

Paphos, Cyprus

Target Audience and Expected Outcomes
This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human–computer
interaction from a user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this
workshop focus on methods, processes and approaches for designing, building and
testing interactive systems. We expect a high participation of IFIP Working
Group 13.2 members. We particularly invite participants to present position
papers describing real-life case studies that illustrate how they rethought
HCI’s and SE’s interplay in order to address aspects such as agile development,
sustainability, ethical considerations, and cybersecurity. Any perspective and
related aspects of user interface design are welcome. We are especially
interested in work that deals with current trends that change the way humans
use, interact and collaborate with technical components in socio-technical
systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and tools that combine
human-centered design and software engineering practices. Position papers will
be made available through the workshop website. Furthermore, an extended version
of selected papers will be considered for inclusion in a Springer LNCS
post-proceedings volume published in conjunction with the other INTERACT
workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups.

Workshop Format
This full-day workshopisin person only. Itisorganized around presentation of
position papers and working activities in small groups. From the set of
contributions, a subset of selected case studies will be invited to be presented
at the beginning of the workshop and will be used to support the discussion that
follows. The morning session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and
presenting case studies. Participants will be invited to comment on the case
studies and to report similar experiences. The afternoon sessions will be
devoted to interactive sessions, where participants will be engaged to work in
small groups and propose solutions to the problems of the case st udies seen in
the morning. Solutions proposed by the participants will be compiled and
compared. Based on the lessons learned, participants will be incited to draft an
agenda of future work that can be accomplished. We plan to run the
workshoponsite in person only. If circumstances require it, we intend to switch
to a completely digital format that will be run online. We will continuously
adapt to any decision regarding the conference format by the INTERACT 2023
organizers.
