Call for Full Papers & Technical Notes

EICS Full Papers and Technical Notes are published as articles in the Journal Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACM - EICS series).

About EICS

EICS 2025 is the seventeenth international ACM SIGCHI conference devoted to engineering interactive computing systems and their user interfaces, addressing software quality factors such as usability, user experience, reliability, and security. Work presented at EICS covers all stages of the engineering life-cycle of interactive systems.

EICS brings together researchers focused on creating interactive computing systems, drawing from design, HCI, software engineering, requirements engineering, software development, modeling, and programming.

Topics

Submissions should advance the state of the art of the engineering of interactive systems. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Modeling, specification, and analysis of interaction and interactive systems
• Requirements engineering for interactive systems
• Methods, processes, principles, and/or tools for building interactive systems (e.g., design, implementation, prototyping, evaluation, verification, and validation, testing)
• Software architectures for interactive systems
• Formal methods within interactive systems engineering
• Bridging the gap between engineering and design practices
• Engineering design and evaluation tools
• Computational techniques for designing and evaluating interactive systems
• Interactive data-driven systems
• Explore and/or employ diverse interaction techniques and devices (e.g., adaptive, context-aware, tangible, haptic, touch and multitouch input, voice, gestures, recognition of physiological signals, multimodal input, mobile and wearable systems, virtual, augmented, mixed, and extended reality)
• Engineering hardware or software integration in interactive systems (e.g., fabrication and maker processes, physical computing, cyber-physical systems)
• Engineering interactive systems for diverse user groups (e.g., children, elderly, people with disabilities,…)
• Engineering collaborative multi-user interactive systems
• Engineering interactive systems embedding AI-technologies
• Engineering interaction-driven AI-technologies
• Applying AI technologies in methods, processes, and tools for building interactive systems in all stages of the engineering lifecycle

Anonymization Policy

The papers review process is based on reviewing where the identities of both the authors and reviewers are kept hidden. Authors are expected to remove author and institutional identities from the title and header areas of the paper, as noted in the submission instructions (Note: changing the text color of the author information is not sufficient). Also, please make sure that identifying information does not appear in the document’s meta-data (e.g., the ‘Authors’ field in your word processor’s ‘Save As’ dialog box). In addition, the acknowledgments section must be left blank.

Further suppression of identity in the body of the paper is left to the authors’ discretion. Authors are required to cite their own work in the third person, e.g., avoid “As described in our previous work [10], ... ” and use instead “As described by [10], ...”
