HCSE 2022
9th International Working Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering
24th to 26th of August, 2022, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

***************************************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS
HCSE is a bi-annual, single-track, working conference organized by the IFIP Working Group
13.2 on Methodology for User-Centred System Design
(
http://ifip-tc13.org/working-groups/working-group-13-2/). We aim at bringing together
researchers and practitioners interested in strengthening the scientific foundations of
user interface design, examining the relationship between software engineering and
human-computer interaction and on how to strengthen human-centered design as an essential
part of software engineering processes. Other topics of interest include:
* contributions to the theory and best practices of user-centered design
* involvement of end-users, clients and stakeholders in the design and development process
of interactive systems
* innovative methods for identifying end-user requirements for interactive systems
* integration of user experience (and any other user interface property) in development
processes
* methods for designing, building and assessing interactive systems beyond the desktop
(e.g. the living room, ubiquitous and multi-display, cockpits, etc.)
* models and model-based approaches for building interactive systems
* methods and tools for low-code and no-code development paradigms
* integration of multiple properties (e.g. usability, (cyber)security, reliability, user
experience, privacy, accessibility, etc.) in software development and making them more
accessible to developers and users
* context-aware and adaptive interactive systems (e.g. in areas such as digital
collaboration, digital and worker assistance)
* design and integration of novel interaction techniques such as augmented, virtual, and
mixed reality
* support for new kinds of human-machine interaction (HMI) for increasingly autonomous
systems and systems that use or provide artificial intelligence (e.g. autonomous driving
or human-robot collaboration)
* socio-technical aspects of interactive software development
* artificial intelligence and machine learning to support the development of interactive
systems
* software architectures and architectural patterns for interactive systems
* rational design, design patterns and traceability of design choices.
HCSE 2022 welcomes contributions as technical full papers, late breaking results,
demonstrations and posters. All papers are peer-reviewed and selected contributions will
appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series.
In the present edition of HCSE 2022 we are particularly interested in studies focused on
multi-stakeholder concepts and how to cope with multi-stakeholders taking into account not
only micro perspective, but on the systemic change level. This research area is central to
the host of the current edition of the conference, the Eindhoven University of Technology,
Industrial Design, Systemic Change group.
In addition, building on the activities carried out by the WG13.2 during the workshop held
at the INTERACT 2021 IFIP TC-13 conference, special consideration will be given to issues
related to “changing the context of use”, which has significant impact on how to design
and develop with a user-centered perspective and how usage of these systems changed for
example in the current pandemic situation.
As in past editions, the focus of the working group is on user interface properties (such
as usability, ux, privacy, trust, security, reliability, adaptability, among others) and
how to design, develop and evaluate based on a user-centered development process. We are
interested in understanding how different stakeholders and developers value diverse user
interface properties and how they manage conflicts between them (when one property might
degrade the value of another) on a systemic change level. Our aim is to cover a large set
of user interface properties and try to reveal their inner dependencies. We are
particularly interested in the development of theories, methods, tools and approaches for
dealing with multiple properties that should be taken into account when developing
interactive systems.
HCSE welcomes the following types of contributions:
* Technical full papers (up to 20 pages) should describe substantial research
contributions of novel work that has produced advanced results including validation of
results.
* Late-breaking results (up to 12 pages) are short papers that present work in progress,
new practice and experience reports containing good (and bad) practices and/or recent
practical evaluations of methods, techniques and tools.
* Demonstrations and posters (5–8 pages, plus poster design draft) should present ongoing
work and/or late-breaking results related to the use of innovative tools and cutting-edge
systems not described in other paper submissions. Demonstration papers should provide
description of tools including user tasks and evidence of use to end-users. Demo
submissions should summarize the system’s significance and its performance and should
either include screenshots or link to an online-accessible resource. The poster design
draft should show the planned design and content of the poster that will be presented at
the conference. Industry contributions to demos and posters are particularly welcome and
highly encouraged.
SUBMISSIONS AND REVIEWING PROCESS
All contributions should be submitted via the EasyChair system
(
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=hcse2022conference). All submissions will be
peer-reviewed for their topical relevance, originality, technical contribution, and
presentation quality by the members of the international program committee.
Technical full papers and late-breaking results short papers will be reviewed
double-blind, demonstrations and posters single-blind. Authors must prepare their
submission files accordingly!
For poster submissions, both paper and poster design draft will be assessed for review.
It will be possible for the program committee to suggest accepting submissions in other
than their original submission categories.
PRESENTATIONS
If we hold a physical conference, under the current circumstances, all accepted
submissions will be presented at the conference in technical sessions. It will be possible
for authors of accepted technical full papers and late-breaking results short papers to
give tool demos as well without submitting additional demo papers.
The conference will NOT enable hybrid participation.
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted contributions must be formatted according to the guidelines of the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer
(
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-12-73062-0). Authors are requested to
prepare submissions as close as possible to final camera-ready versions.
