Third Workshop on Engineering Interactive Systems Embedding AI Technologies

Website: https://sites.google.com/view/eis-emb-aitech/home

This workshop proposal is the third edition of a workshop which has been organised at EICS 2024 and EICS 2025. This edition aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the engineering of interactive systems that embed AI technologies (as for instance, AI-based recommender systems) or that use AI during the engineering lifecycle. The overall objective is to identify (from experience reported by participants) methods, techniques, and tools to support the use and inclusion of AI technologies throughout the engineering lifecycle for interactive systems. A specific focus is on guaranteeing that user-relevant properties such as usability and user experience are accounted for. Contributions are also expected to address system-related properties, including resilience, dependability, reliability, or performance. Another focus is on the identification and definition of software architectures supporting this integration.

Experience 2.0 and Beyond – from Visuals to Human-Centered Multimedia

Website: https://hciv.de/xp2-2025/

The rapid evolution of augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) technologies, coupled with the integration of multimedia experiences, is reshaping how users interact with their environments. While traditional handheld displays like smartphones and tablets have democratized access to AR/MR applications, new technologies such as Apple's Vision Pro, smart wearables, and tactile interfaces are setting the stage for enhanced multimodal interactions. These advancements come with their own set of challenges, including developing intuitive interaction techniques, creating seamless cross-device user experiences, and ensuring the effective integration of multimedia elements like sound, visuals, and haptics. Addressing these challenges, following our successful first workshop on “Experience 2.0 and Beyond” at EICS 2024, this second version of our workshop “Experience 2.0 and Beyond” provides a platform for researchers, developers, and practitioners to explore innovative solutions for engineering AR/MR applications that span devices and modalities from visuals to multimedia, fostering a future where immersive, interactive, and multimedia experiences are accessible to all.

Interactive AI for Preventive Health: Personalization, Gamification, and Ethics

Website: https://sites.google.com/view/aiforpreventivehealth/home

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into preventive healthcare can fundamentally transform how individuals interact with their own health by shifting attention from reactive treatments toward proactive, personalized, and engaging health management. AI systems leverage continuous interaction with users—through wearable technologies, ambient sensing, and adaptive interfaces—to provide timely, tailored health insights and recommendations. Such interactive AI solutions hold the promise of empowering individuals to actively manage and improve their health behaviors, potentially reducing healthcare burdens. However, successful adoption depends significantly on how users perceive and interact with these systems. Techniques such as gamification and multisensory interaction have emerged as compelling approaches for enhancing user engagement. Yet, to ensure sustainable and equitable outcomes, it is critical to address ethical dimensions, including user privacy, transparency of AI decision-making processes, and potential biases in personalized recommendations. This workshop at EICS 2025 will explore interactive AI for preventive health, focusing on proactive monitoring, adaptive personalization, gamification, multisensory interaction, social AI, ethics, and evaluation methods. By bringing together researchers and practitioners from human-computer interaction, AI, healthcare, and behavioral science, we aim to identify challenges, design principles, and evaluation frameworks that enhance engagement and trust in AI-driven health systems. The workshop will feature interactive discussions and expert talks to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration
