CALL FOR PAPERS
HCI Engineering 2019: 2nd Workshop on Charting the Way towards Methods and Tools for Advanced Interactive Systems
Co-located with EICS 2019 – The 11th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (https://eics.acm.org/2019/)
Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV)
Valencia, Spain, June 17-18, 2019

Submission deadline: April 5, 2019
This workshop, organized by IFIP WG 2.7/13.4 on User Interface Engineering, intends to contribute to the definition of a roadmap for future challenges and work directions for the engineering of interactive computing systems. Novel forms of interaction and new application domains involve aspects that are currently not sufficiently covered by existing methods and tools. The workshop will serve as a venue to bring together researchers and practitioners interested the Engineering of Human-Computer Interaction and in contributing to the definition of a roadmap for the field.
TOPICS AND SCOPE
Engineering interactive systems is a multidisciplinary endeavor positioned at the intersection of HCI, software engineering, interaction design, and other disciplines. In recent years, the range of interactive techniques available and their applications has broadened considerably and can be expected to grow even further in the future. While new interaction techniques offer the prospect of improving the usability and user experience of interactive systems, they also pose new challenges for methods and tools that can support their design development and evaluation in a systematic engineering oriented manner. This is aggravated by the fact that they are increasingly being applied in novel and less understood application domains (e.g., wearable medical devices and AI-based systems).
While new interaction techniques offer the prospect of improving the usability and user experience of interactive systems, they also pose new challenges for methods and tools that can support their design, development and evaluation in a systematic engineering-oriented manner. Also, more common interaction techniques may need novel methodological support, e. g., in specific application domains.
The techniques mentioned above as well as many other novel forms of interaction involve aspects that are currently not sufficiently covered by existing Human-Computer Interaction Engineering (HCI-E) methods/tools such as design spaces, task models, model-based generation of user interfaces, toolkits, evaluation methods. This may require new methods/tools or adaptations/extensions of existing methods/tools.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Interested researchers or practitioners should submit a 3 to 5-page position paper describing their interests in and views on future engineering methods/tools. At least, each position paper should describe a major engineering-related challenge to be further elaborated at the workshop. Papers must be formatted according to LNCS guidelines.
Each submission will be reviewed by three reviewers. Participants will selected on the basis of their submission’s quality, their response to the list of issues and the diversity of their backgrounds, aiming thus at an interdisciplinary group. A further criterion will be the stated intention to continue work on elaborating and updating the roadmap after the workshop. We plan to publish revised papers electronically (e.g. CEUR-WS) after the workshop.

Submission deadline: April 5, 2019
PRE-WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES
We will compile and publish a list of the challenges submitted by the accepted participants on the workshop website prior to the event and circulate it in advance to all participants to obtain an understanding of the mutual views and to provide a starting point for the discussion. Accepted participants will be invited to submit 5-8 pages revised versions of their original submissions up to two weeks before the workshop.
VENUE
The conference will be held in Valencia, Spain, co-located with EICS 2019 – The 11th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems.
