EICS 2013 - ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems

EICS is an international conference devoted to all aspects of engineering usable and effective interactive computing systems, ranging from traditional workstation-based interactive systems to those involving new and emerging modalities (e.g., gesture), applications (e.g., mobile and ubiquitous games) and development methods (e.g., extreme programming). EICS focuses on tools, techniques and methods for designing and developing interactive systems. EICS brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from the HCI, Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, CSCW, Ubiquitous & Pervasive Systems, and Game Development communities.

=======================================================

Overview

EICS 2013 is the fifth international conference in a series devoted to engineering interactive computing systems. EICS focuses on methods, techniques and tools for designing and developing interactive systems. The conference brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems.
Interactive Computing Systems are a focus of research and development in many fields including HCI, Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, CSCW, Ubiquitous and Pervasive Systems, Enterprise Systems and Game Development.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conference Topics

Submissions are invited that address the engineering of human-computer interactive systems. Topics include but are not limited to:

* modelling interaction and interactive systems

* processes for engineering interactive systems (e.g. design, implementation, prototyping, evaluation, and testing)

* integrating interaction design into the software development process

* requirements engineering for interactive systems

* specification of interactive systems (methods, principles and tools)

* software architectures for interactive systems

* frameworks, toolkits, and APIs for interactive systems (e.g. API usability, interaction-driven API design)

* domain-specific languages for interactive systems

* formal methods for HCI

* engineering for heterogeneous environments (e.g., multi-device user interfaces)

* specifying and modelling users’ activities

* engineering innovative interactive applications (e.g., adaptive, multimodal, collaborative, tangible)

* end-user development of interactive systems

* engineering user experience (e.g., fun, affective interaction)

* engineering complex interactive systems (e.g., large datasets, large communities, enterprise systems)

* design and development methods (e.g., agile methods)

* safety critical systems (e.g. medical devices)

* engineering of entertainment applications (e.g., mobile and ubiquitous games)

* specification and realisation of new and emerging modalities (e.g. gesture),

* building interactive systems for human computation

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type of submissions

Long Papers (10 pages), Late Breaking Results (6 pages), Demonstrations (6 pages), Doctoral Consortium submissions (4 pages), Tutorial and Workshop proposals (2 pages).

Long and Late Breaking Results papers can address research or novel or informative case studies.

Research paper submissions should describe substantial contributions of novel or ongoing work that has produced advanced results including validation of results.

Case study papers report experience gained on case studies and on applying engineering to large scale interactive computing applications. We are interested in the problems and challenges faced, and in how successful, or not, the adopted solutions were.


Acceptances for long papers can be conditional pending changes that the program committee may suggest or require for the final camera-ready draft of the paper. This means that your paper will not be formally accepted to EICS until you revise it and submit a final draft for approval by the program committee.


Accepted contributions will be published in the ACM SIGCHI proceedings of EICS 2013 as well as in the ACM Digital Library.
