HCSE@INTERACT 2025 Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering - Call for Papers (Submissions due: May 26 AoE)
by Stefan Sauer 13 May '25

13 May '25

*(Apologies if you receive multiple e-mails on this subject via different channels!)* https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2025 <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-interact2025> *Call for Papers* International Workshop on Human-Centered Software Engineering Balancing Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Value *organized by IFIP Working Group 13.2 on Methodologies for User-Centered Systems Design * *at INTERACT 2025 <https://interact2025.org/> The 20th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction ** * *September 8/9, 2025 Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil* Theme The rapid advancement of digital technologies continues to reshape the way humans interact with software systems, raising critical questions about the balance between human values and the interplay of usability, user experience and automation. In this landscape, Human-Centered Software Engineering (HCSE) plays a pivotal role in ensuring that software development remains aligned with user needs, ethical principles, and broader societal impacts. This edition of the HCSE workshop focuses on the intersection of Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Value, emphasizing the need for new approaches in designing socio-technical systems that integrate intelligent automation while preserving human agency and well-being. With AI-driven decision-making, adaptive interfaces, and autonomous systems becoming ubiquitous, it is crucial to explore how software engineering can accommodate these innovations while maintaining transparency, fairness, and user trust. Beyond the traditional themes of IFIP 13.2 workshops, this edition invites contributions fostering discussion among researchers and practitioners, to advance the dialogue on how HCSE can evolve to meet the demands of modern digital ecosystems while staying true to its human-centric principles. Contributions are invited that explore innovative methodologies, design principles, and case studies that highlight how intelligent software systems can be designed to enhance, rather than diminish, human experience. The ultimate goal is to develop approaches that harmonize interaction, artificial intelligence, and human value, fostering the creation of software that is not only powerful and efficient, but also trustworthy, inclusive, and ethically responsible. This workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops organized at INTERACT 2015 in Bamberg, Germany <https://www.irit.fr/recherches/ICS/events/conferences/workshop-IFIPWG13.2-B…>, INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India <http://ifip-tc13.org/wg-13-213-5-workshop-interact17-mumbai/>, INTERACT 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus <https://sites.google.com/view/ifip-wg-13-2-workshop-interact/home>, INTERACT 2021 in Bari, Italy <https://sites.google.com/view/hcse-workshop-interact2021/>, and INTERACT 2023 in York, UK. Target Audience and Expected Outcomes This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in aspects of human–computer interaction from a user-centered perspective. Typical contributions to this workshop focus on methods, processes and approaches for designing, building and testing inter-active systems. We expect a high participation of IFIP Working Group 13.2 members. We particularly invite participants to present position papers describing real-life case studies that illustrate how they rethought HCI’s and SE’s interplay in order to address aspects such as agile development, sustainability, artificial intelligence, ethical considerations, and cybersecurity. Any perspective and related aspects of user interface design are welcome. We are especially interested in work that deals with current trends that change the way humans develop, use, interact and collaborate with technical components in socio-technical systems. We are also interested in methods, theories and tools for managing context of use and autonomous adaptation at design and run-time. Position papers will be made available through the workshop website. Furthermore, an extended version of selected papers will be considered for inclusion in a Springer LNCS post-proceedings volume published in conjunction with the other INTERACT workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups. Workshop Format This full-day workshop is in person only. It is organized around presentation of position papers and working activities in small groups. From the set of contributions, a subset of selected case studies will be invited to be presented at the beginning of the workshop and will be used to support the discussion that follows. The morning session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and presenting case studies. Participants will be invited to comment on the case studies and to report similar experiences. The afternoon sessions will be devoted to interactive sessions, where participants will be engaged to work in small groups and propose solutions to the problems of the case studies seen in the morning. Solutions proposed by the participants will be compiled and compared. Based on the lessons learned, participants will be incited to draft an agenda of future work that can be accomplished. We plan to run the workshop onsite in person only. If circumstances require it, we intend to switch to a completely digital format that will be run online. We will continuously adapt to any decision regarding the conference format by the INTERACT 2025 organizers. Submission Instructions In order to attend the workshop, participants are invited to submit position papers reporting original academic or industrial research relevant to the workshop's theme. These position papers (PDF files, 6-10 pages in Springer LNCS format, including abstract) shall report (practical) experiences related to research challenges and results on human-centered software engineering or user-centered development processes for interactive systems with a particular focus on digital-transformation aspects and technologies (such as mobile and wearable devices, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Blockchain, Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Digital Twin, Cybersecurity) and their impact on software properties or software development practices. Submissions are not anonymous and should include all author names, affiliations, and contact information. Authors should also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and their motivation to participate in this workshop. Submissions will be processed via the workshop web pages that will be managed by the workshop organizers at IFIP WG 13.2. Papers are submitted through the EasyChair website <https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=hcse-interact2025>. Submitted position papers will be reviewed by an international program committee comprising the organizers and selected members of IFIP Working Group 13.2 who are experts in the field. Participants will be invited to attend the workshop based on the result of the reviewing process. Accepted position papers will be made available through the workshop website. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted position paper must register and attend the workshop. Furthermore, an extended version of selected papers will be considered for inclusion in a Springer LNCS post-proceedings volume published in conjunction with the other INTERACT 2025 workshops organized by the IFIP TC13 Working Groups.
