HCSE is a bi-annual, single-track, working conference organized by the IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodology for User-Centred System Design. 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 – more info on the topics on: https://hcse-conference.org/

A novelty of HCSE 2024 is the Discussion Forum for PhD students who want to present and intensively discuss with established researchers their research ideas and get feedback and/or guidance for the continuation of their work in a friendly and constructive atmosphere.

Altogether, HCSE 2024 welcomes the following types of contributions:

• Technical full papers (up to 20 pages)
• Late-breaking result papers (up to 12 pages)
• Demonstration papers (5–8 pages)
• Poster papers (5–8 pages, plus poster design draft)
• Discussion Forum papers from PhD students (5–8 pages, plus poster design draft)

Further information on these formats can be obtained from: https://hcse-conference.org/

All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series.

SUBMISSIONS AND REVIEWING PROCESS

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, posters and Discussion Forum submissions single-blind. Authors must prepare their submission files accordingly!

For poster and Discussion Forum 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.

PROCEEDINGS

All accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by Springer. They must be formatted according to the guidelines of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer. Authors are requested to prepare submissions as close as possible to final camera-ready versions.

PRESENTATIONS

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 papers to give tool demos as well without submitting additional demo papers.
