PAPERS INVOLVING AI AND ML

Papers involving AI or ML must either (a) concern a software system as a whole, or a
subsystem, and not simply its AI or ML component, (b) consider software engineering
artifacts, (c) target a novel context for a software engineering task, or (d) study human,
social, socio-technical, and organizational aspects in the development of AI- or ML-
intensive software systems (see also "Scoping Software Engineering for AI: The TSE
Perspective", 10.1109/TSE.2024.3470368). Papers involving AI or ML must explicitly
explain how they address a software engineering problem. Papers not meeting these
criteria may be more suitable for AI- or ML-focused venues instead. Papers that do not
clearly explain how they address a software engineering problem or don't meet the
above criteria will be desk-rejected.

[Contiki-developers] The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): Second Call for Posters and Demos

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** Second Call for Posters and Demos ***

The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)

March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlUaGUgQW5udWFsIEFDTSBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMjYpOiBTZWNvbmQgQ2FsbCBmb3IgUG9zdGVycyBhbmQgRGVtb3MJNDI5CUlVSTIwMjYJNzYJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fiui.hosting.acm.org%2F2026%2F>


The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the leading annual venue
for researchers and practitioners to explore advancements at the intersection of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). IUI submissions should address
HCI challenges using machine intelligence and consider both computational and human-
centric aspects. As AI becomes more integrated into everyday technology, understanding
its role in meeting human needs is vital for developing effective and responsible systems.
This conference fosters collaboration among experts from diverse fields to tackle
significant issues in AI and HCI through discussions, workshops, and networking
sessions.

UI 2026 attracted a record number of submissions for the main conference (561 full
paper submissions after an initial submission of 697 abstracts).


Posters

Posters provide an opportunity for sharing valuable last-minute ideas, eliciting useful
feedback on early-stage work and fostering discussions and collaborations among
colleagues. We invite submissions relevant to all conference topics. All submissions
should convey a scientific result or work in progress that is not yet ready to be published
as a full-length research paper at a refereed conference.

The page limit for poster papers is 4 pages (references do not count toward the page
limit). Submitting a draft poster along with your submission is not required, but is
recommended. Accepted poster papers will appear in the companion proceedings of the
conference. Each accepted contribution is expected to be presented in person during the
poster session.


Demos

The demonstration track complements the overall program of the conference.
Demonstrations show implementations of novel, interesting, and important intelligent
user interface concepts or systems. We invite submissions relevant to intelligent user
interfaces and which address, but are not limited to, the topics of the conference. All
submissions are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and should
not be advertisements for commercial software packages.

The page limit for demo papers is 4 pages (references do not count toward the page
limit). Authors further need to submit a video (max. 5 mins) along with their demo paper
to showcase their work. Accepted demo papers will be presented as interactive
demonstrations at IUI and published in the companion proceedings of the conference.
Each accepted contribution is expected to be presented in person during the demo sessions.


Important Dates (AoE)

• Submission: December 21, 2025
• Decision notification: January 26, 2026
• Camera-ready submission: February 6, 2026


Topics

The topics for the Posters and Demos are the same as for the main track.


Submission Instructions

Papers must be up to 4 pages (references do not count towards the page limit). Demo
and poster submissions do not need to be anonymized. Submissions should follow the
ACM Master Article Templates in a single-column format.

[Contiki-developers] International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): First Call for Workshop Proposals

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** First Call for Workshop Proposals ***

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines,
and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026)

29 September - 2 October 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina
Limassol, Cyprus

https://conf.researchr.org/home/variability-2026<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gU29mdHdhcmUgYW5kIFN5c3RlbXMgUmV1c2UsIFByb2R1Y3QgTGluZXMsIGFuZCBDb25maWd1cmF0aW9uIChWQVJJQUJJTElUWSAyMDI2KTogRmlyc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgV29ya3Nob3AgUHJvcG9zYWxzCTQyNQlWYXJpYWJpbGl0eQkxNjEJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fconf.researchr.org%2Fhome%2Fvariability-2026>


VARIABILITY is a new conference that has been merged of three prominent conferences
focussing on software and systems variability, configuration and reuse: SPLC (the
International Systems and Software Product Line Conference, 29 successful editions,
ranked as a top conference), VaMoS (the International Working Conference on Variability
Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems, 19 successful editions), and ICSR (the
International Conference on Systems and Software Reuse, 22 successful editions).

We invite you to submit proposals for half-day or full-day workshops in any area related
to the field of Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration, all of which
fall under the broader area of Variability. In particular, workshops on challenging,
emerging areas related to the conference topics are especially sought. We particularly
encourage workshop proposals for highly interactive and collaborative workshops, rather
than mini-conferences, e.g., apart from the traditional short and long papers, consider
allowing position papers with only one page (not included in the proceedings) and focus
on a lively discussion after the presentation, to foster new ideas and gather feedback
(rather than just defending the presented work). The expected date of the workshops
will be the September 29th, 2026, before the main track of the conference.


Submissions / Publishing

VARIABILITY workshop papers will be published in a volume of the conference proceedings
published by Springer. Moreover, a one-page summary of each accepted workshop will be
published in the proceedings as well.

Workshop proposals should be authored by at least two organizers, preferably from
different institutions, and they should contain the following three sections and address
each corresponding point:

1. Organizers
• Name: organizers’ full names
• Contact information: affiliations, job titles, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, URLs,
and phone
• Brief biography: 100-200 words, focusing on the organizers’ expertise in the field and
experience as workshop organizers

2. Workshop Content
• Title: workshop title and acronym
• Abstract: max 150 words describing the workshop (suitable for the conference’s website)
• Tentative Website URL
• Topics and motivation:
• What are the topics, themes, and areas of interest of the workshop?
• How is the workshop relevant to VARIABILITY?
• How does the workshop connect VARIABILITY to other research communities?
• Goals and expected results:
• Explicitly state the goals of the workshop and how you intend to reach them
• What are the expected results of the workshop?
• How will these results be disseminated?
• Format:
• What is the planned workshop format (paper presentations, working sessions, invited
talks (please note here that such talks are not financially supported by the conference),
lightning talks, demonstrations, etc.)?
• To avoid duplicated topics and cancellations, did you coordinate with or (plan to)
merge workshops on the same/similar topics from previous years (if there are any)?
• What will be done to stimulate collaborative interaction?
• What are the planned pre- and post-workshop activities?
• Participants:
• What is the expected number of submissions and participants? Provide a plan for
attracting sufficient submissions and promoting attendance
• If applicable, please provide information from previous or related workshops. Have
there been previous workshops on the same or a closely related topic? When, where
and with how many participants?
• Special room equipment (please note that VARIABILITY conference and the workshops
are in-person events) like flip charts, microphone, etc.
• Do you plan for a half-day or full-day workshop?

• Program Committee: list of tentative program committee members, names and
affiliations

3. Preliminary Call for Papers
This will necessarily repeat some of the information from the previous sections but should
be targeted towards prospective participants. It should address the following items:
• Overview of the motivation, topics, and goals
• Workshop format
• Deadlines of the workshop (see dates in this call for proposals)
• Submission guidelines and review process
• References to previous workshops (websites)
• Dissemination campaign to distribute the CFP

4. References to previous workshops (websites)

Relevant supporting material, such as proceedings from previous editions of the proposed
workshop or other workshops organized by the proposal authors, should be included if
available but are not required for submission.


Acceptance Criteria

Each workshop proposal will be evaluated according to the relevance of its topic, the
expertise and experience of the workshop organizers, and the workshop’s potential for
attracting participants and generating useful results. We underline the importance of
active and creative workshops that foster a collaborative environment of interest to both
practitioners and researchers, aiming, e.g., to evolve the field of Variability and to identify
elements of joint future work. To obtain a balanced and cohesive workshop program, the
Organizing Committee will collaborate closely with workshop organizers and reserves the
right to circulate proposals to other submitters in view of possible workshop mergers. The
organizers of accepted workshops will be required to create and maintain a website in a
timely manner to serve as a workshop information center and to provide a repository for
documenting pre- and post-workshop activities.

At least one author of each accepted proposal must register and attend VARIABILITY 2026
in order for the workshop to be accepted and the summary of the workshop published.

The submission and review platform for workshop papers will be the one for the main
conference (i.e., all workshops will be as different tracks under the same Easy Chair
installation).

2026 IFAAMAS Influential Paper Award
The International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (IFAAMAS)
in 2006 established an award to recognize publications in the autonomous agents and multiagent systems field that have made influential and long-lasting contributions. Candidates for this award are papers that have proved a key result, led to the development of a new subfield, demonstrated a significant new application or system, or simply presented a new way of thinking about a topic that has proved influential. A list of previous winners of this award appears at http://www.ifaamas.org/award-influential.html<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlBQU1BUyAyMDI2OiBMYXN0IENhbGwgZm9yIE5vbWluYXRpb25zIGZvciB0aGUgMjAyNiBJRkFBTUFTIEluZmx1ZW50aWFsIFBhcGVyIEF3YXJkIGFuZCB0aGUgMjAyNSBWaWN0b3IgTGVzc2VyIERpc3Rpbmd1aXNoZWQgRGlzc2VydGF0aW9uIEF3YXJkCTQyMwlBQU1BUzIwMjYJMTMwCWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ifaamas.org%2Faward-influential.html> .

Submission deadline: October 31, 2025 (anywhere on earth)
Selection procedure:
The selection of the dissertation will be based on the originality, significance, and impact of the work. Evidence of such impact includes publications at highly selective conferences and journals in the field, with due importance given to the AAMAS conference series and JAAMAS. Research output that resulted primarily from the student’s initiative will be considered more favorably.
The selection committee will be the final arbiter in the decision process. The selection committee might also decide to consult external assessors, and reserves the right to not award the prize if the nominations do not meet the expected quality level.
Every submitted dissertation must be nominated by the thesis supervisor and must be supported by the following 4 (four) documents, all of which should be delivered via the Google Form link above by October 31, 2025:
a) A link to a PDF file of the dissertation. If the dissertation is not written in English, the nomination must include an accessible link to a substantial manuscript in English, with the nominee as the first author, published in a peer-reviewed journal or conference.
b) A PDF that contains a list of publications that have arisen from the dissertation, with links to the published papers.
c) A recommendation from the dissertation supervisor, on departmental letterhead, nominating the dissertation for the 2025 Victor Lesser Distinguished Dissertation Award. The recommendation should explain the contribution of the dissertation to the field of autonomous agents and multiagent systems, argue the merit and possible future impact of the work, and highlight, where relevant, how the work resulted from the initiative of the student. Finally, this document should certify the eligibility of the PhD by asserting that the PhD was successfully defended between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025.
d) A PDF with the names, email addresses, and affiliations of at least one and at most three referees, familiar with the research of the candidate and experts in the pertinent research area, who will directly email their recommendations for the candidate to the chair of the selection committee (Gauthier Picard, gau...@on...). A reference letter should be no more than 500 words in length, should be on an official letterhead, signed and emailed as a PDF file, and received by the same deadline of October 31, 2025. To ease the recovery of these emails, it is recommended that the subject of the recommendation letter email be “2025 Victor Lesser Award: Recommendation: ”
Note: It is the responsibility of the dissertation supervisor to contact the referees and ensure that their letters (max 500 words, signed, and on letterhead) are submitted by the deadline.
Though the nomination is to be submitted by the nominee’s dissertation supervisor, it is required that the nominee has consented that the dissertation be considered for this award and, if selected for the award, commits to attending the AAMAS 2026 conference, where they will receive the award and will give a presentation on the work contained in the dissertation at a special session of the conference. The cost of attending the conference is not covered by the award.

CALL FOR SPECIAL TRACKS

IEEE CBMS 2026 invites proposals for organization of special tracks that will be held in
parallel with the general conference track. The themes of the special tracks should not
overlap with the general conference topics and should focus on emerging research fields.
All tracks are expected to enable stimulating discussions of state-of-the-art, emerging,
visionary, and perhaps controversial topics. Their papers should report on significant
unpublished work and must meet the same standards as main conference papers. All
accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. We expect all accepted
tracks to adhere to the conference paper submission and reviewing schedule, as outlined
in the dates indicated below.

Special Tracks chair(s) will be interacting with organisers of accepted workshops to ensure
a high-quality workshop program. In the case of detecting several similar submissions, the
CBMS 2026 organization can propose the fusion of those proposals.

Special Track Requirements
The organizers of a special track must comply with a set of principles and obligations,
listed below:
• A specific webpage with information about the special track will be created by CBMS
after the acceptance notification. The organizers must provide the following information to
be added to such webpage: special track description, list of topics, call for papers,
submission information (must be the same as CBMS 2026 regular track), special track
organizers, special track program committee members, any other relevant information.
• The organizers of the special track are responsible for the peer-review process within
their track. They must add their own Program Committee members/reviewers to the
submission platform, ensure that receive all the reviews on time, check the quality of the
reviews, and establish the acceptance/rejection decision. The final decision will be sent by
CBMS 2026 PC Chairs. They also must pay special attention to potential conflicts of
interest and ensure that all the general ethical rules of research are followed.
• At least one of the organizers of the special track must register and attend CBMS 2026
in Limassol, Cyprus. The organizer(s) who attend CBMS will also chair the specific session
that will be assigned in the agenda to their track.
• The organizers of the special track are responsible for the publicity of their track to try
to win as many submissions as possible. Please bear in mind that a special track with less
than 4 accepted papers could be canceled. In this case, the accepted papers will be moved
to the regular track.

Submission Guidelines
Each proposal must include:
• Special track title
• Rough estimate of the expected ST size as number of sessions (with 4-5 papers per
session)
• A brief biography of ST organizer(s)
• List of Special Track Program Committee members
• A draft of Special Track “Call for Papers” (important dates must be the same of the
main conference)
• One or two appropriate journals or follow up publications: tracks are expected to
organize a special issue, if planned.

The proposal must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair conference
management system (see link below).


CALL FOR SHOWCASE / RESEARCH PROJECTS

CBMS 2026 will have a special showcase/research projects track session, where we invite
(a) scientific papers, (b) demonstrations/posters and (c) research-projects descriptions.

Scientific papers: We invite papers (not exceeding 6 pages in length), describing innovative
computer-based medical devices or software applications, including practical experiences
with such innovations. The papers should be scholarly articles presenting scientific
methods, measurements, and experiments. Marketing and sales materials will not be
accepted. These papers will be evaluated based on practicality, innovation, scientific rigor,
value of the device or application to users, and novelty. They will be published in the
proceedings of the conference along with the other papers under this track.

Examples of such papers could include but are not limited to:
• Computer-based medical devices that have technical/scientific novelty
• Computer-based medical applications intended for or recently introduced in the field
• Novel uses of traditional equipment in practice

Demonstrations: A demonstration is more appropriate if the value can be better expressed
with a demonstration rather than in a full-length paper. The topics for the demonstration
papers are the same as the scientific for this track. Please submit a proposal of your
demonstration with a limit of two pages.

Research projects/initiatives: CBMS aims in this edition to receive submissions about
research or innovation projects funded by, mainly, competitive calls to present their
project. We foresee to receive submissions which include details about the project goals,
consortium and results (expected and any tentative result obtained so far). Only projects
funded by competitive calls or with strong potential interest for the community will be
considered. International projects organized in a consortium of several countries will have
preference.

Submissions in this context should be a one/two-pages document with at least the
following information:
• Project/initiative title
• Description
• Participant entities
• Project goals
• Funding agency (when applies) or agencies
• Results obtained so far (publications, patents, ...)

The contribution must be prepared following the regular paper. The length of the
contribution must be between 4 and 6 pages.

Submission Guidelines
Papers must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair conference management
system (see link below). All submissions will be peer-reviewed at least by two Program
Committee members. All accepted contributions will be included in the conference
proceedings and will be published by IEEE Xplore. Publication in proceedings is
conditioned to the registration and presentation of the paper at the conference by one of
the authors.

[Contiki-developers] The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): First Combo Call for Workshop Papers

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** First Combo Call for Workshop Papers ***

The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)

March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlUaGUgQW5udWFsIEFDTSBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMjYpOiBGaXJzdCBDb21ibyBDYWxsIGZvciBXb3Jrc2hvcCBQYXBlcnMJNDE3CUlVSTIwMjYJMTc1CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fiui.hosting.acm.org%2F2026%2F>


The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the leading annual venue
for researchers and practitioners to explore advancements at the intersection of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

IUI 2026 attracted a record number of submissions for the main conference (561 full
paper submissions after an initial submission of 697 abstracts). Although the submission
deadline for the main conference is now over, we welcome the submission of papers to
a number of workshops that will be held as part of IUI 2026.

A list of these workshops, with a short description and the workshops' websites for
further information, follows below.


AgentCraft: Workshop on Agentic AI Systems Development (full-day workshop)

Organizers: Karthik Dinakar (Pienso), Justin D. Weisz (IBM Research), Henry Lieberman
(MIT CSAIL), Werner Geyer (IBM Research)

URL: https://agentcraft-iui.github.io/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlUaGUgQW5udWFsIEFDTSBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMjYpOiBGaXJzdCBDb21ibyBDYWxsIGZvciBXb3Jrc2hvcCBQYXBlcnMJNDE3CUlVSTIwMjYJMTc1CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fagentcraft-iui.github.io%2F2026%2F>

Ambitious efforts are underway to build AI agents powered by large language models
across many domains. Despite emerging frameworks, key challenges remain: autonomy,
reasoning, unpredictable behavior, and consequential actions. Developers struggle to
comprehend and debug agent behaviors, as well as determine when human oversight is
needed. Intelligent interfaces that enable meaningful oversight of agentic plans,
decisions, and actions are needed to foster transparency, build trust, and manage
complexity. We will explore interfaces for mixed-initiative collaboration during agent
development and deployment, design patterns for debugging agent behaviors, strategies
for determining developer control and oversight, and evaluation methods grounding
agent performance in real-world impact.


AI CHAOS! 1st Workshop on the Challenges for Human Oversight of AI Systems
(full-day workshop)

Organizers: Tim Schrills (University of Lübeck), Patricia Kahr (University of Zurich),
Markus Langer (University of Freiburg), Harmanpreet Kaur (University of Minnesota),
Ujwal Gadiraju (Delft University of Technology)

URL: https://sites.google.com/view/aichaos/iui-2026?authuser=0<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlUaGUgQW5udWFsIEFDTSBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMjYpOiBGaXJzdCBDb21ibyBDYWxsIGZvciBXb3Jrc2hvcCBQYXBlcnMJNDE3CUlVSTIwMjYJMTc1CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fview%2Faichaos%2Fiui-2026%3Fauthuser%3D0>

As AI permeates high-stakes domains—healthcare, autonomous driving, criminal justice
—failures can endanger safety and rights. Human oversight is vital to mitigate harm, yet
methods and concepts remain unclear despite regulatory mandates. Poorly designed
oversight risks false safety and blurred accountability. This interdisciplinary workshop
unites AI, HCI, psychology, and regulation research to close this gap. Central questions
are: How can systems enable meaningful oversight? Which methods convey system states
and risks? How can interventions scale? Through papers, talks, and interactive
discussions, participants will map challenges, define stakeholder roles, survey tools,
methods, and regulations, and set a collaborative research agenda.


CURE 2026: Communicating Uncertainty to foster Realistic Expectations via Human-
Centered Design (half-day workshop)

Organizers: Jasmina Gajcin (IBM Research), Jovan Jeromela (Trinity College Dublin), Joel
Wester (Aalborg University), Sarah Schömbs (University of Melbourne), Styliani Kleanthous
(Open University of Cyprus), Karthikeyan Natesan Ramamurthy (IBM Research), Hanna
Hauptmann (Utrecht University), Rifat Mehreen Amin (LMU Munich)

Communicating system uncertainty is essential for achieving transparency and can help
users calibrate their trust in, reliance on, and expectations from an AI system. However,
uncertainty communication is plagued by challenges such as cognitive biases, numeracy
skills, calibrating risk perception, and increased cognitive load, with research finding that
lay users can struggle to interpret probabilities and uncertainty visualizations.


HealthIUI 2026: Workshop on Intelligent and Interactive Health User Interfaces
(half-day workshop)

As AI transforms health and care, integrating Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) in wellness
applications offers substantial opportunities and challenges. This workshop brings
together experts from HCI, AI, healthcare, and related fields to explore how IUIs can
enhance long-term engagement, personalization, and trust in health systems. Emphasis
is on interdisciplinary approaches to create systems that are advanced, responsive to
user needs, mindful of context, ethics, and privacy. Through presentations, discussions,
and collaborative sessions, participants will address key challenges and propose
solutions to drive health IUI innovation.


MIRAGE: Misleading Impacts Resulting from AI-Generated Explanations (full-day
workshop)

Organizers: Simone Stumpf (University of Glasgow), Upol Ehsan (Northeastern University),
Elizabeth M. Daly (IBM Research), Daniele Quercia (Nokia Bell Labs)

URL: https://mirage-workshop.github.io<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlUaGUgQW5udWFsIEFDTSBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMjYpOiBGaXJzdCBDb21ibyBDYWxsIGZvciBXb3Jrc2hvcCBQYXBlcnMJNDE3CUlVSTIwMjYJMTc1CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmirage-workshop.github.io>

Explanations from AI systems can illuminate, yet they can misguide. MIRAGE at IUI
tackles pitfalls and dark patterns in AI explanations. Evidence now shows that
explanations may inflate unwarranted trust, warp mental models, and obscure power
asymmetries—even when designers intend no harm. We classify XAI harms as Dark
Patterns (intentional, e.g., trust-boosting placebos) and Explainability Pitfalls
(unintended effects without manipulative intent). These harms include error propagation
(model risks), over-reliance (interaction risks), and false security (systemic risks). We
convene an interdisciplinary group to define, detect, and mitigate these risks. MIRAGE
shifts focus to safe explanations, advancing accountable, human-centered AI.


PARTICIPATE-AI: Exploring the Participatory Turn in Citizen-Centred AI (half-day
workshop)

Organizers: Pam Briggs (Northumbria University), Cristina Conati (University of British
Columbia), Shaun Lawson (Northumbria University), Kyle Montague (Northumbria
University), Hugo Nicolau (University of Lisbon), Ana Cristina Pires (University of Lisbon),
Sebastien Stein (University of Southampton), John Vines (University of Edinburgh)

This workshop explores value alignment for participatory AI, focusing on interfaces and
tools that bridge citizen participation and technical development. As AI systems
increasingly impact society, meaningful and actionable citizen input in their development
becomes critical. However, current participatory approaches often fail to influence actual
AI systems, with citizen values becoming trivialized. This workshop will address
challenges such as risk articulation, value evolution, democratic legitimacy, and the
translation gap between community input and system implementation. Topics include
value elicitation within different communities, critical analysis of failed participatory
attempts, and methods for making citizen concerns actionable for developers.

This workshop explores how eXtended Reality (XR) can serve as a multimodal interface
for AI systems, including LLMs and conversational agents. It focuses on designing
adaptive, human-centered XR environments that incorporate speech, gesture, gaze, and
haptics for seamless interaction. Main topics include personalization, accessibility,
cognitive load, trust, and ethics in AI-driven XR experiences. Through presentations,
discussions, and collaborative sessions, the workshop aims to establish a subcommunity
within IUI to develop a roadmap that includes design principles and methodologies for
inclusive and adaptive intelligent interfaces, enhancing human capabilities across various
domains, such as healthcare, education, and collaborative environments.


TRUST-CUA: Trustworthy Computer-Using Generalist Agents for Intelligent User
Interfaces (full-day workshop)

Computer-Using Agents (CUAs) are moving from point automations to generalist agents
acting across GUIs, browsers, APIs, and CLIs—raising core IUI questions of trust,
predictability, and control. This workshop advances trustworthy-by-design CUAs
through human-centered methods: mixed-initiative interaction, explanation and
sensemaking, risk/uncertainty communication, and recovery/rollback UX. Outcomes
include (1) a practical TRUST-CUA checklist for oversight, consent, and auditing, (2) a
user-centered evaluation profile (“CUBench-IUI,” e.g., predictability, oversight effort,
time-to-recovery, policy-aligned success), and (3) curated design patterns and open
challenges for deployable, accountable agentic interfaces.

[Contiki-developers] International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): First Call for Research Papers

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** First Call for Research Papers ***

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines,
and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026)

29 September - 2 October 2026

https://conf.researchr.org/home/variability-2026<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gU29mdHdhcmUgYW5kIFN5c3RlbXMgUmV1c2UsIFByb2R1Y3QgTGluZXMsIGFuZCBDb25maWd1cmF0aW9uIChWQVJJQUJJTElUWSAyMDI2KTogRmlyc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgUmVzZWFyY2ggUGFwZXJzCTQxNAlWYXJpYWJpbGl0eQkxNzYJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fconf.researchr.org%2Fhome%2Fvariability-2026>


The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and
Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) invites high-quality contributions from researchers and
practitioners in software engineering, systems engineering, and related disciplines
focussing on a broad spectrum of methods, concepts, and tools for variability.
VARIABILITY aims to be the premier forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and
results in all aspects of software and systems variability management, reuse, software
configuration, and customization.

As software and systems become increasingly configurable, reusable, and adaptable,
managing their variability across all lifecycle phases is more critical—and more challenging
—than ever. VARIABILITY 2026 seeks to bring together the diverse communities that
address these challenges from theoretical, technical, and practical perspectives.

VARIABILITY results from a merge of three prominent conferences focussing on software
and systems variability, configuration and reuse: SPLC (the International Systems and
Software Product Line Conference, 29 successful editions), VaMoS (the International
Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems, 19 successful
editions), and ICSR (the International Conference on Systems and Software Reuse, 22
successful editions).

VARIABILITY is by design open as a conference. It welcomes new fields of variability-
intensive research, such as artificial intelligence, hybrid software-hardware systems, etc.
For this first edition of VARIABILITY, we strive to continue the success of the predecessor
conferences ICSR, SPLC, and VaMoS by welcoming high-quality submissions for the
research track in numerous closely related areas, such as systems and software product
lines, systems and software reuse, configurable systems and software, product
configuration, and systems and software variability. We will award the best research paper
and the best artifact paper.

Paper Originality, Double-Blind Policy, Reviewing
All papers must be original and not under review elsewhere. Submissions will be double-
blind and reviewed by at least three experts. Submissions will be evaluated based on their
novelty, relevance, rigor, transparency, and presentation. Authors of submissions to the
first deadline might be invited to submit a revision of their papers to the second deadline,
which will be reviewed as a revision. Accepted papers will be published in the VARIABILITY
2026 proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series.

Revisions
Research-track papers can be submitted to the first or second cycle. In the first cycle,
papers can receive the following decisions: accept, revision, or reject. Revision means that
the reviewers believe that the paper has potential, but that its quality or contribution is not
yet ready for publication. Such papers are offered lightweight shepherding by a community
member, who is not necessarily a PC member or reviewer. Revised papers should be
submitted to the second cycle together with a response letter, explaining how the reviewer
comments were addressed. They are then reviewed by the same PC members. Papers
rejected in the first cycle can be resubmitted in the second cycle, but need to contain an
appendix “Changes to First-Cycle Submission” at the end of the PDF (after references,
regardless of the page limit) that lists the major changes in bullet-point format.


Journal Special Issue

Selected accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions with at least 30%
additional and original material, to be published in a special issue in a reputable Software
Engineering journal (currently under negotiation).

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** Third Call for Contributions to the Special Tracks ***

The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent
Systems (AAMAS 2026)

May 25-29, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlUaGUgMjV0aCBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQXV0b25vbW91cyBBZ2VudHMgYW5kIE11bHRpYWdlbnQgU3lzdGVtcyAoQUFNQVMgMjAyNik6IFRoaXJkIENhbGwgZm9yIENvbnRyaWJ1dGlvbnMgdG8gdGhlIFNwZWNpYWwgVHJhY2tzCTQxMAlBQU1BUzIwMjYJMTc4CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcyprusconferences.org%2Faamas2026%2F>


We welcome submissions to the Special Tracks of AAMAS 2026. AAMAS 2026 will feature
five special tracks: AAAI Track, JAAMAS Track, Blue Sky Ideas Track, Demo Track, and
Competitions Track, as well as the Doctoral Consortium.

The AAAI Track welcomes AAAI-25 submissions rejected from the main AAAI track that
are relevant to the AAMAS research community and received no reject review
recommendations (all review scores are weak reject or above).

The JAAMAS Track offers authors of papers recently published in the Journal of
Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (JAAMAS) that have not previously appeared
as full papers in an archival conference the opportunity to present their work at AAMAS
2026.

The focus of the Blue Sky Ideas Track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new
research opportunities, and controversial debate.

The Demo Track allows participants from both academia and industry to showcase their
latest developments in agent-based and robotic systems.

The Competitions Track is an effective mechanism for motivating researchers to enhance
discussions, share knowledge, and boost the development and evaluation of theory and
practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems.

Finally, AAMAS invites PhD students working in the research areas covered by AAMAS to
take part in the Doctoral Consortium (DC). The DC is an opportunity to interact closely
with established researchers in your field as well as other PhD students to receive feedback
on your work and to get advice on managing your career.

The calls for each track above and for the Doctoral Consortium, along with the respective
important dates, are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.


Workshops and Tutorials

Furthermore, AAMAS 2026 invites proposals for workshops and tutorials. These will be
held on May 25-26, 2026, immediately before the main program of the AAMAS conference.

The objectives of the AAMAS 2026 workshop program are to stimulate and facilitate
discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to
specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents
and Multiagent Systems. The AAMAS 2026 workshops will provide an informal setting
where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics, fostering
the active exchange of ideas and supporting community development.

Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person — online/remote versions will not be
accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be considered, but the proponents need to motivate
their request when submitting their proposal.

The calls for workshop and tutorial proposals, along with the respective important dates,
are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.

** Experiences – Short Paper Option **

Authors submitting to the Experiences category may choose between a full
paper (12 pages) or a short paper (6 pages). Short papers will be evaluated
on originality, clarity, and potential impact, even without extensive
evaluation. Both full and short papers will have oral presentations.

** Two-Deadline Submission Model **

SenSys 2026 is implementing a two-deadline review process. Each deadline is
self-contained. However, in this second deadline, in addition to new
submissions, we are accepting resubmissions of papers rejected in the first
deadline that comply with the following criteria.

Papers rejected in the first deadline may be submitted to the second only
with a substantive revision and a detailed “Response to Reviewers”
statement that maps each concern to specific changes (e.g., methods,
analysis, experiments, writing). Submissions that are substantially
unchanged or lack this statement will be desk-rejected.
Moreover, authors of resubmitted papers should consider the following
guidelines:

1. Papers that received borderline or mixed reviews during the first
deadline are candidates for potential acceptance in the second deadline
after a revision that thoroughly and exhaustively addresses the reviewers’
comments from the first deadline, which likely include the need for new
experimental results.. Please note that acceptance is not guaranteed; all
papers in the second deadline are fully re-reviewed. Therefore, authors
should not interpret the reviews of the first deadline in a way similar to
major or minor revisions in a journal; the resubmissions are treated as new
submissions.

2. Papers that received consistently low scores in the first deadline
typically require more extensive rethinking and rewriting and a
significantly improved evaluation. These submissions are unlikely to become
competitive by the second deadline. Authors should seriously consider
whether the reviewers’ comments can be addressed within the limited time
between deadlines.

3. The “Response to Reviewers” should have the same two-column format as
the paper, and it should appear at the end of the paper as an appendix.
This section should start with (1) the title and paper number of the
original submission in the first deadline, and (2) a set of short bullet
points highlighting the main improvements, such as new experiments and/or
new hardware/software designs. A more detailed response to the reviewers’
concerns should be provided after that, by clearly indicating the concern
addressed and the reviewer(s) who raised it. The “Response to Reviewers”
should have a maximum of four pages.

** Submission Guidelines **

- Original, unpublished work not under review elsewhere
- Full papers: ≤12 pages; Short papers (Experiences only): ≤6 pages
(references excluded)
- No appendices are allowed (except for resubmission from the first
deadline, which are allowed to have an appendix), submissions exceeding
page limits or including unapproved appendices will be desk-rejected
- Two-column, single-spaced, 9-pt font (ACM acmart.cls, sigconf option
preferred)
- Double-blind review: follow the Anonymity Policy (below)
- Ethical statement required for research with human participants (use
generic, non-identifying wording during review)
- Registration & attendance: For each accepted paper, one full
(non-student) author registration is required, and at least one author must
attend and present in person (see Author Attendance & Registration Policy)
- Submission site: https://sensys26nov.hotcrp.com

** Anonymity Policy (Double-Blind Review) **

- Submissions must be fully anonymized; violations will be desk-rejected.
- No author names/affiliations/emails or identifying PDF metadata
- No acknowledgments during review (funding sources, centers, collaborators)
- Self-citations in third person; avoid text revealing authorship
- Preprints (e.g., arXiv) allowed; reviewers are instructed not to search
for them
- Artifact links must be anonymous (blinded GitHub/GitLab, Zenodo with
anonymized authors; no personal/lab/department/company sites; scrub
repo/file/video metadata/watermarks)
- Human-subjects approvals described generically (e.g., “approved by an
institutional review board,” without naming the institution)
- No appendices: all material must fit within the page limits

** Author Attendance & Registration Policy **

- In-person presentation required: At least one author of each accepted
paper must attend the conference in person and present the work.
- One full registration per paper: Each accepted paper requires at least
one full (non-student) registration by the camera-ready deadline.
- Exceptions: Remote presentation may be approved only in exceptional cases
(e.g., visa denial, documented medical issues) at the discretion of the
General/Program Chairs.
- No-show policy: Papers without a presenting author may be withdrawn from
the program and the proceedings.

** Important Dates **

Workshop Outreach Pipeline

AAMAS 2026 will include a pilot designed to encourage submission of high-quality papers
from related workshops at sister AI conferences. All submissions will go through the
standard AAMAS review process, but PCs from participating workshops will be able to
easily bid on papers from "their" workshop. As with all AAMAS submissions, only papers
that have not been published in any archival proceedings can be submitted.

You can see the full list of workshops in the interest form for authors:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UjJbNykWK_fsKWbEHDyMEA02cGheIyPeWxCPcUskwkA/viewform<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlBQU1BUyAyMDI2IE1haW4gVHJhY2s6IEFic3RyYWN0IFN1Ym1pc3Npb24gaW4gMiBEYXlzISAoT2N0b2JlciAxc3QpCTQwMglBQU1BUzIwMjYJMTc1CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2F1UjJbNykWK_fsKWbEHDyMEA02cGheIyPeWxCPcUskwkA%2Fviewform> [docs.google.com]
It is recommended to verify with your workshop chair that they are aware of the pipeline
and have promoted it to the workshop's authors and PC.

[Contiki-developers] The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): Last Call for Papers

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** Last Call for Papers ***

The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)

March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlUaGUgQW5udWFsIEFDTSBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMjYpOiBMYXN0IENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcGVycwk0MDAJSVVJMjAyNgk4NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fiui.hosting.acm.org%2F2026%2F>


The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the annual premier venue
where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the
intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI
submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and
discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies,
techniques, and systems.

This area is crucial as AI is increasingly integrated into everyday technology.
Understanding and shaping AI systems for human needs is essential to ensure that AI
systems are effective and responsible. As these techniques become increasingly powerful,
new use cases and human-AI interactions can be explored. This conference offers an
opportunity to focus the research community on important problems at the intersection of
AI and HCI and bring together experts from various disciplines to discuss and build on
these ideas in workshops, breaks, and networking sessions.

Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, industry,
government, and non-profit organizations. Diverse insights are critical to the vitality of the
IUI community, and the conference will accept papers for both long and short oral
presentations. Contributions to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence
appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis).

Papers

We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration elsewhere. Accepted
papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. At least one author of all
accepted papers must register with full registration fee (not student registration fee),
attend in person, and present their paper during the main conference program. One
registration covers one paper only.

A selected set of accepted top-quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended
versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS)
special issue titled “Highlights of IUI 2026” that will appear in 2027.


Reflection of practical and societal impact

We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of their work (as well
as its shortcomings) throughout their projects and to include a reflection on those
implications in their papers, in particular how the proposed methods and insights could be
applied and deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people's lives in the
real world.

We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work in
terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI
topic and its societal impact. We recognize that technology is rarely neutral --- simply by
making some things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; Green, 2020).
Further, given the incredibly short invention-to-application cycles for AI-related
technologies, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that “somebody else” will carefully
consider how an emerging intelligent user interface technology might impact the world
before this technology is deployed. Our purpose is to help authors ensure that the likely
societal consequences of their work are consistent with their intentions and values. For
colleagues who are not yet experienced with incorporating societal impacts into their IUI
research but who are willing to give it a try, here are some ideas to consider.


Anonymization

ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions (and supplemental materials)
must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines:
• Authors' names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper.
• Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process.
• Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third person. For
example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ... " is not allowed, whereas "... as
shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be
perceived as self-citation).

In addition, non-anonymized versions of the submission should not be posted on any
pre-print platform. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being
desk-rejected without review.


Accessibility

Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that reviewers with
vision impairments can access them, for example). The authors of accepted papers will be
required to make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible
Submission for detailed instructions.

If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide captions, as
described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos.

Please refer to the Accessibility page of the conference site for further details and guidelines.


Usage of Generative AI

All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI: the April 2023
ACM Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked Questions. Text generated from a
large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, must be clearly marked where such
tools are used for purposes beyond editing the author’s own text. Authors should include
a “GenAI Usage Disclosure” section, right before the references, to provide full disclosure
of all use of GenAI tools in all stages of the research (including the code and data) and the
writing. This section, together with the references, will not be counted toward the word
limit.

While we do not anticipate using tools on a large scale to detect LLM-generated text, we
will investigate submissions brought to our attention and desk reject papers where LLM
use is not clearly marked.


Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects

Any research in submitted manuscripts that involves human subjects must go through the
appropriate ethics review requirements that apply to the authors’ research environment.
As research environments vary considerably with regard to their requirements, authors are
asked to submit a short note to reviewers that provides this context. Please also see the
2021 ACM Publications policy on research involving human participants and subjects
before submitting.


Additional Policies

Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and Review at SIGCHI
Conferences and ACM Publications Policies.


Submission Format, Length, and Platform

We adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow.

Please prepare your submission for review in a single column format, using the latest
templates: Word Submission Template, or the LaTeX template using
\documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for the LaTeX template.

Papers are of variable length. Paper length must be proportional to its contribution. We
encourage authors to stay within a 10,000 word limit. Authors of papers exceeding 12,000
words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the
paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work.


Submission Platform

All materials must be submitted electronically to the Precision Conference Submission
(PCS) Portal (https://new.precisionconference.com/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzCQkJY29udGlraS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzQGxpc3RzLnNvdXJjZWZvcmdlLm5ldAlUaGUgQW5udWFsIEFDTSBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMjYpOiBMYXN0IENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcGVycwk0MDAJSVVJMjAyNgk4NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnew.precisionconference.com%2F>) by the abstract and paper deadlines.

In PCS, first click “Submissions” at the top of the page, from the dropdown menus for
Society, Conference, and Track, please select “SIGCHI”, “IUI 2026”, and “IUI 2026 Papers”,
respectively, and then press “Go”.

Note: If the corresponding author (the individual who submits the paper, not necessarily
the first author) is affiliated with a participating institution that has an open access
agreement with ACM, the Article Processing Charges (APCs) will be waived for publishing
the paper. Details are under “Publication and Open Access”.


Supplemental Materials

Submitting supplemental material (e.g., questionnaires, demo videos of applications, data
sheets) is optional but encouraged.

If supplying a demo video, please follow the SIGCHI Technical Requirements and
Guidelines for videos.


Publication and Open Access

The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM
Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference.
The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published
work.

Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications,
including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will
have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open
institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800
institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers
will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%).
Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish
their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether
an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM
Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that waivers are rare
and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.

Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a
temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join
ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:
* $250 APC for ACM/SIG members
* $350 for non-members
This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help
advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.
This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.

The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the leading annual venue
for researchers and practitioners to explore advancements at the intersection of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). IUI submissions should address
HCI challenges using machine intelligence and consider both computational and human-
centric aspects. As AI becomes more integrated into everyday technology, understanding
its role in meeting human needs is vital for developing effective and responsible systems.
This conference fosters collaboration among experts from diverse fields to tackle
significant issues in AI and HCI through discussions, workshops, and networking
sessions.


Posters

Posters provide an opportunity for sharing valuable last-minute ideas, eliciting useful
feedback on early-stage work and fostering discussions and collaborations among
colleagues. We invite submissions relevant to all conference topics. All submissions
should convey a scientific result or work in progress that is not yet ready to be published
as a full-length research paper at a refereed conference.

The page limit for poster papers is 4 pages (references do not count toward the page
limit). Submitting a draft poster along with your submission is not required, but is
recommended. Accepted poster papers will appear in the companion proceedings of the
conference. Each accepted contribution is expected to be presented in person during the

deadlines.

In PCS, first click “Submissions” at the top of the page, from the dropdown menus for
Society, Conference, and Track, please select “SIGCHI”, “IUI 2026”, and “IUI 2026 Posters”
or “IUI 2026 Demos”, respectively, and then press “Go”.

Note: If the corresponding author (the individual who submits the paper, not necessarily
the first author) is affiliated with a participating institution that has an open access
agreement with ACM, the Article Processing Charges (APCs) will be waived for publishing
the paper. Details are under “Publication and Open Access”.


Accessibility

Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that reviewers with
vision impairments can access them, for example). The authors of accepted papers will
be required to make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an
Accessible Submission for detailed instructions.

If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide captions, as
described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos.

Please refer to the Accessibility page of the conference site for further details and
guidelines.


Usage of Generative AI

All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI: the April 2023
ACM Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked Questions. Text generated from a
large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, must be clearly marked where such
tools are used for purposes beyond editing the author’s own text. Authors should include
a “GenAI Usage Disclosure” section, right before the references, to provide full disclosure
of all use of GenAI tools in all stages of the research (including the code and data) and
the writing. This section, together with the references, will not be counted toward the
word limit.

While we do not anticipate using tools on a large scale to detect LLM-generated text, we
will investigate submissions brought to our attention and desk reject papers where LLM
use is not clearly marked.


Publication and Open Access

The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM
Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference.
The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to
published work.

Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications,
including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors
will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM
Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800
institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference
papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%).

Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to
publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find
out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating
institutions in ACM Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind
that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.

Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a
temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to
join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:

• $250 APC for ACM/SIG members
• $350 for non-members

This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help
advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.

This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.

Submission deadline: October 31, 2025 (anywhere on earth)
Selection procedure:
The selection of the dissertation will be based on the originality, significance, and impact of the work. Evidence of such impact includes publications at highly selective conferences and journals in the field, with due importance given to the AAMAS conference series and JAAMAS. Research output that resulted primarily from the student’s initiative will be considered more favorably.
The selection committee will be the final arbiter in the decision process. The selection committee might also decide to consult external assessors, and reserves the right to not award the prize if the nominations do not meet the expected quality level.
Every submitted dissertation must be nominated by the thesis supervisor and must be supported by the following 4 (four) documents, all of which should be delivered via the Google Form link above by October 31, 2025:
a) A link to a PDF file of the dissertation. If the dissertation is not written in English, the nomination must include an accessible link to a substantial manuscript in English, with the nominee as the first author, published in a peer-reviewed journal or conference.
b) A PDF that contains a list of publications that have arisen from the dissertation, with links to the published papers.
c) A recommendation from the dissertation supervisor, on departmental letterhead, nominating the dissertation for the 2025 Victor Lesser Distinguished Dissertation Award. The recommendation should explain the contribution of the dissertation to the field of autonomous agents and multiagent systems, argue the merit and possible future impact of the work, and highlight, where relevant, how the work resulted from the initiative of the student. Finally, this document should certify the eligibility of the PhD by asserting that the PhD was successfully defended between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025.
d) A PDF with the names, email addresses, and affiliations of at least one and at most three referees, familiar with the research of the candidate and experts in the pertinent research area, who will directly email their recommendations for the candidate to the chair of the selection committee (Gauthier Picard, gau...@on...). A reference letter should be no more than 500 words in length, should be on an official letterhead, signed and emailed as a PDF file, and received by the same deadline of October 31, 2025. To ease the recovery of these emails, it is recommended that the subject of the recommendation letter email be “2025 Victor Lesser Award: Recommendation: ”
Note: It is the responsibility of the dissertation supervisor to contact the referees and ensure that their letters (max 500 words, signed, and on letterhead) are submitted by the deadline.
Though the nomination is to be submitted by the nominee’s dissertation supervisor, it is required that the nominee has consented that the dissertation be considered for this award and, if selected for the award, commits to attending the AAMAS 2026 conference, where they will receive the award and will give a presentation on the work contained in the dissertation at a special session of the conference. The cost of attending the conference is not covered by the award.

**************************************************************** 
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS 
The 12th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT2025), 
December 1-4, 2025 in Nantes, France. 
https://bdcat-conference.org/ 
**************************************************************** 

OVERVIEW 
------------------- 

Recent years have witnessed significant interest in the use of Machine Learning and AI-based techniques to support large-scale data analysis, with research and implementation of systems specifically focused on supporting different phases of the data processing lifecycle. These have ranged from in-memory systems and distributed environments (e.g., MapReduce/Hadoop, Spark) to specialist environments for stream processing of data and events (e.g., Flink, Kinesis) and Serverless (e.g., OpenWhisk, AWS Lambda). On the other hand, we also recognize the importance of computational systems required to process small data volumes, but which involve interdependencies and relationships that are hard to capture and derive. 

The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT) is a premier annual international conference series aiming to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and industry to present and discuss discoveries in the broad area of big data computing and applications. The conference features keynotes, posters, workshops, tutorials, and a student symposium. 

BDCAT 2025 will be held in conjunction with the 18th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2025) in Nantes, France. 
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research manuscripts in all areas of Big Data computing, applications and technologies, as well as on related scaling data analysis.

pages, not being possible to extend the paper length. The duration of the oral
presentation of short posters will be less than regular ones.
• Posters: The length of the contribution is limited to 2 pages. Poster papers will be
included in the proceedings but won’t include oral presentations during the conference.
The authors of a poster also need to prepare a real poster to be shown during the
conference. For presentation purposes at the conference, the authors must prepare the
poster in portrait format. The accepted dimensions are 60 (width) x 80 (length).


CALL FOR SPECIAL TRACKS

IEEE CBMS 2026 invites proposals for organization of special tracks that will be held in
parallel with the general conference track. The themes of the special tracks should not
overlap with the general conference topics and should focus on emerging research fields.
All tracks are expected to enable stimulating discussions of state-of-the-art, emerging,
visionary, and perhaps controversial topics. Their papers should report on significant
unpublished work and must meet the same standards as main conference papers. All
accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. We expect all accepted
tracks to adhere to the conference paper submission and reviewing schedule, as outlined
in the dates indicated below.

Special Tracks chair(s) will be interacting with organisers of accepted workshops to ensure
a high-quality workshop program. In the case of detecting several similar submissions, the
CBMS 2026 organization can propose the fusion of those proposals.

Special Track Requirements
The organizers of a special track must comply with a set of principles and obligations,
listed below:
• A specific webpage with information about the special track will be created by CBMS
after the acceptance notification. The organizers must provide the following information to
be added to such webpage: special track description, list of topics, call for papers,
submission information (must be the same as CBMS 2026 regular track), special track
organizers, special track program committee members, any other relevant information.
• The organizers of the special track are responsible for the peer-review process within
their track. They must add their own Program Committee members/reviewers to the
submission platform, ensure that receive all the reviews on time, check the quality of the
reviews, and establish the acceptance/rejection decision. The final decision will be sent by
CBMS 2026 PC Chairs. They also must pay special attention to potential conflicts of
interest and ensure that all the general ethical rules of research are followed.
• At least one of the organizers of the special track must register and attend CBMS 2026
in Limassol, Cyprus. The organizer(s) who attend CBMS will also chair the specific session
that will be assigned in the agenda to their track.
• The organizers of the special track are responsible for the publicity of their track to try
to win as many submissions as possible. Please bear in mind that a special track with less
than 4 accepted papers could be canceled. In this case, the accepted papers will be moved
to the regular track.

Submission Guidelines
Each proposal must include:
• Special track title
• Rough estimate of the expected ST size as number of sessions (with 4-5 papers per
session)
• A brief biography of ST organizer(s)
• List of Special Track Program Committee members
• A draft of Special Track “Call for Papers” (important dates must be the same of the
main conference)
• One or two appropriate journals or follow up publications: tracks are expected to
organize a special issue, if planned.

The proposal must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair conference
management system (see link below).


CALL FOR SHOWCASE / RESEARCH PROJECTS

CBMS 2026 will have a special showcase/research projects track session, where we invite
(a) scientific papers, (b) demonstrations/posters and (c) research-projects descriptions.

Scientific papers: We invite papers (not exceeding 6 pages in length), describing innovative
computer-based medical devices or software applications, including practical experiences
with such innovations. The papers should be scholarly articles presenting scientific
methods, measurements, and experiments. Marketing and sales materials will not be
accepted. These papers will be evaluated based on practicality, innovation, scientific rigor,
value of the device or application to users, and novelty. They will be published in the
proceedings of the conference along with the other papers under this track.

Examples of such papers could include but are not limited to:
• Computer-based medical devices that have technical/scientific novelty
• Computer-based medical applications intended for or recently introduced in the field
• Novel uses of traditional equipment in practice

• Insightful measurement-based analysis of computer-based medical systems from the
field
• Novel analysis providing new insights from data collected from the field
• New and practical data analytics useful in practice
• Real deployments of AI solutions in medicine

Demonstrations: A demonstration is more appropriate if the value can be better expressed
with a demonstration rather than in a full-length paper. The topics for the demonstration
papers are the same as the scientific for this track. Please submit a proposal of your
demonstration with a limit of two pages.

Research projects/initiatives: CBMS aims in this edition to receive submissions about
research or innovation projects funded by, mainly, competitive calls to present their
project. We foresee to receive submissions which include details about the project goals,
consortium and results (expected and any tentative result obtained so far). Only projects
funded by competitive calls or with strong potential interest for the community will be
considered. International projects organized in a consortium of several countries will have
preference.

Submissions in this context should be a one/two-pages document with at least the
following information:
• Project/initiative title
• Description
• Participant entities
• Project goals
• Funding agency (when applies) or agencies
• Results obtained so far (publications, patents, ...)

The contribution must be prepared following the regular paper. The length of the
contribution must be between 4 and 6 pages.

Submission Guidelines
Papers must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair conference management
system (see link below). All submissions will be peer-reviewed at least by two Program
Committee members. All accepted contributions will be included in the conference
proceedings and will be published by IEEE Xplore. Publication in proceedings is
conditioned to the registration and presentation of the paper at the conference by one of
the authors.


CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM

The Doctoral Consortium for CBMS 2026 will provide an opportunity for PhD students to
present their research plans or their preliminary work in an informal and supportive

[Contiki-developers] The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): Third Call for Papers

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** Third Call for Papers ***

The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)

March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/


The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the annual premier venue
where researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the
intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI
submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and
discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies,
techniques, and systems.

This area is crucial as AI is increasingly integrated into everyday technology.
Understanding and shaping AI systems for human needs is essential to ensure that AI
systems are effective and responsible. As these techniques become increasingly powerful,
new use cases and human-AI interactions can be explored. This conference offers an
opportunity to focus the research community on important problems at the intersection of
AI and HCI and bring together experts from various disciplines to discuss and build on
these ideas in workshops, breaks, and networking sessions.

Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, industry,
government, and non-profit organizations. Diverse insights are critical to the vitality of the
IUI community, and the conference will accept papers for both long and short oral
presentations. Contributions to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence
appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis).

Papers

We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration elsewhere. Accepted
papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. At least one author of all
accepted papers must register with full registration fee (not student registration fee),
attend in person, and present their paper during the main conference program. One
registration covers one paper only.

A selected set of accepted top-quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended
versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS)
special issue titled “Highlights of IUI 2026” that will appear in 2027.


Reflection of practical and societal impact

We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of their work (as well
as its shortcomings) throughout their projects and to include a reflection on those
implications in their papers, in particular how the proposed methods and insights could be
applied and deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people's lives in the
real world.

We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work in
terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI
topic and its societal impact. We recognize that technology is rarely neutral --- simply by
making some things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; Green, 2020).
Further, given the incredibly short invention-to-application cycles for AI-related
technologies, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that “somebody else” will carefully
consider how an emerging intelligent user interface technology might impact the world
before this technology is deployed. Our purpose is to help authors ensure that the likely
societal consequences of their work are consistent with their intentions and values. For
colleagues who are not yet experienced with incorporating societal impacts into their IUI
research but who are willing to give it a try, here are some ideas to consider.

Anonymization

ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions (and supplemental materials)
must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines:
• Authors' names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper.
• Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process.
• Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third person. For
example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ... " is not allowed, whereas "... as
shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be
perceived as self-citation).

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being desk-rejected without review.


Accessibility

Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that reviewers with
vision impairments can access them, for example). The authors of accepted papers will be
required to make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible
Submission for detailed instructions.

If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide captions, as
described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos.

Please refer to the Accessibility page of the conference site for further details and guidelines.


Usage of Generative AI

All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI: the April 2023
ACM Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked Questions. Text generated from a
large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, must be clearly marked where such
tools are used for purposes beyond editing the author’s own text. Authors should include
a “GenAI Usage Disclosure” section, right before the references, to provide full disclosure
of all use of GenAI tools in all stages of the research (including the code and data) and the
writing. This section, together with the references, will not be counted toward the word
limit.

While we do not anticipate using tools on a large scale to detect LLM-generated text, we
will investigate submissions brought to our attention and desk reject papers where LLM
use is not clearly marked.


Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects

Any research in submitted manuscripts that involves human subjects must go through the
appropriate ethics review requirements that apply to the authors’ research environment.
As research environments vary considerably with regard to their requirements, authors are
asked to submit a short note to reviewers that provides this context. Please also see the
2021 ACM Publications policy on research involving human participants and subjects
before submitting.


Additional Policies

Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and Review at SIGCHI
Conferences and ACM Publications Policies.


Submission Format, Length, and Platform

We adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow.

Please prepare your submission for review in a single column format, using the latest
templates: Word Submission Template, or the LaTeX template using
\documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for the LaTeX template.

Papers are of variable length. Paper length must be proportional to its contribution. We
encourage authors to stay within a 10,000 word limit. Authors of papers exceeding 12,000
words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the
paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work.


Submission Platform

All materials must be submitted electronically to the Precision Conference Submission
(PCS) Portal (https://new.precisionconference.com/) by the abstract and paper deadlines.

In PCS, first click “Submissions” at the top of the page, from the dropdown menus for
Society, Conference, and Track, please select “SIGCHI”, “IUI 2026”, and “IUI 2026 Papers”,
respectively, and then press “Go”.

Note: If the corresponding author (the individual who submits the paper, not necessarily
the first author) is affiliated with a participating institution that has an open access
agreement with ACM, the Article Processing Charges (APCs) will be waived for publishing
the paper. Details are under “Publication and Open Access”.


Supplemental Materials

Submitting supplemental material (e.g., questionnaires, demo videos of applications, data
sheets) is optional but encouraged.

If supplying a demo video, please follow the SIGCHI Technical Requirements and
Guidelines for videos.


Publication and Open Access

The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM
Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference.
The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published
work.

Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications,
including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will
have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open
institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800
institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers
will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%).
Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish
their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether
an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM
Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that waivers are rare
and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.

Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a
temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join
ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:
* $250 APC for ACM/SIG members
* $350 for non-members
This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help
advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.
This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.

Areas of Interest

We welcome the submission of technical papers describing significant and original
research on all aspects of the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent
systems. If you are new to this community, then we encourage you to consult the
proceedings of previous editions of the conference to fully appreciate the scope of AAMAS.

At the time of submission, you will be asked to associate your paper with one of the
following areas of interest:

• Learning and Adaptation (LEARN)
• Generative and Agentic AI (GAAI)
• Game Theory and Economic Paradigms (GTEP)
• Coordination, Organizations, Institutions, Norms, and Ethics (COINE)
• Search, Optimization, Planning, and Scheduling (SOPS)
• Representation, and Reasoning (RR)
• Engineering and Analysis of Multiagent Systems (EMAS)
• Modeling and Simulation of Societies (SIM)
• Human-Agent Interaction (HAI)
• Robotics and Control (ROBOT)
• Innovative Applications (IA)

More information on these areas and the topics covered can be found here:
https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-papers-main-track/ .


Workshop Outreach Pipeline

AAMAS 2026 will include a pilot designed to encourage submission of high-quality papers
from related workshops at sister AI conferences. All submissions will go through the
standard AAMAS review process, but PCs from participating workshops will be able to
easily bid on papers from "their" workshop. As with all AAMAS submissions, only papers
that have not been published in any archival proceedings can be submitted.

You can see the full list of workshops in the interest form for authors:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UjJbNykWK_fsKWbEHDyMEA02cGheIyPeWxCPcUskwkA/viewform [docs.google.com]
It is recommended to verify with your workshop chair that they are aware of the pipeline
and have promoted it to the workshop's authors and PC.


Other Tracks

In addition to the main track, AAMAS 2026 will feature four special tracks (AAAI Track,
JAAMAS Track, Blue Sky Ideas Track, Demo Track), as well as a Doctoral Consortium.

The AAAI Track welcomes AAAI-25 submissions rejected from the main AAAI track that
are relevant to the AAMAS research community and received no reject review
recommendations (all review scores are weak reject or above).
Submission DL: November 17, 2025
https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-papers-aaai-track/

The focus of the Blue Sky Ideas Track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new
research opportunities, and controversial debate.

The JAAMAS Track offers authors of papers recently published in the Journal of
Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (JAAMAS) that have not previously appeared
as full papers in an archival conference the opportunity to present their work at AAMAS
2026.
Submission DL: January 06, 2026

Finally, AAMAS invites PhD students working in the research areas covered by AAMAS to
take part in the Doctoral Consortium (DC). The DC is an opportunity to interact closely
with established researchers in your field as well as other PhD students to receive feedback
on your work and to get advice on managing your career.
