HCSE 2022
9th International Working Conference on Human-Centered Software Engineering
24th to 26th of August, 2022, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
http://www.hcse-conference.org
***************************************************************************
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.
