Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Integration of software engineering and user-centered design
• HCI models and model-driven engineering
• Incorporating guidelines and principles for designing usable products in the development process
• Usability engineering
• Methods for user interface design
• Patterns in HCI and HCSE
• Software architectures for user interfaces
• User interfaces for special environments
• Representations for design in the development process
• Working with iterative and agile process models in HCSE
• Social and organizational aspects in the software development lifecycle
• Human-centric software development tools
• User profiles and mental models
• User requirements and design constraints
• User experience and software design
• Case studies, evaluations, and tools

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions are solicited in the following categories:

Research full papers (up to 18 pages) should describe substantial contributions of novel ongoing work that has produced advanced results including validation of results.

Short papers (up to 8 pages) should present practice and experience reports containing good (and bad) practices and/or to present practical evaluations of methods, techniques and tools.

Demonstration submissions (up to 4 pages) should present late breaking results related to the use of innovative tools. Papers should provide description of tools including user tasks and evidence of use to end-users.

The submission and review process is managed in EasyChair using the installation:  http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcse2014
