Call for Late-Breaking Results
EICS 2026 – The 18th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive 
Computing Systems

June 30 – July 3, 2026
Patras, Greece
https://eics.acm.org/2026/

Submission deadline (Late-Breaking Results): March 12, 2026
Notification to authors: April 15, 2026
Camera-ready deadline: April 30, 2026

About Late-Breaking Results

Late-Breaking Results (LBR) describe preliminary results of ongoing 
research or incremental work that present new ideas, concepts, systems, 
or approaches focusing on methods, techniques, and tools for designing 
and developing interactive systems.
LBR submissions are intended to elicit useful feedback on early-stage or 
incremental work that can benefit from discussion with colleagues in the 
EICS community. We particularly welcome papers suitable for 
demonstration at the conference. Supplementary videos showing the system 
in action are strongly encouraged.
Accepted LBR papers will be published in the conference’s companion 
proceedings and made available in the ACM Digital Library.

Topics of Interest

Submissions should advance the state of the art in the engineering of 
interactive systems. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Modeling, specification, and analysis of interactive systems
- Requirements engineering for interactive systems
- Software architectures and formal methods for interactive systems
- Methods, processes, principles, tools, and frameworks for developing 
interactive systems (design, prototyping, implementation, evaluation, 
verification, validation, and testing)
- Domain-specific languages, notations, and APIs for interactive systems
- Integration of engineering concerns into the design process
- Engineering data-driven and smart interactive systems (adaptive, 
context-aware, AI-based, multimodal, etc.)
- Engineering for accessibility at scale and integration with software 
development pipelines
- Engineering serious games and cognitive stimulation tools (embodied 
agents, humanoid robots)
- Interactive systems using emerging technologies (e.g., touch and 
multitouch, voice, gestures, EEG, AR/MR/VR/XR, large language models, 
chatbots, humanoid robots)
- Interactive systems for diverse audiences (children, elderly, people 
with disabilities)
- Interactive systems for various domains (health, entertainment, 
safety-critical systems, emergency management, etc.)
- Engineering hardware/software integration (cyber-physical systems, 
tangible, haptic, wearable, robotic systems)
- Engineering for specific properties (usability, user experience, 
safety, security, dependability)
- Building human-centred AI systems (explainable AI, intelligible 
design, human-in-the-loop, adaptive and context-aware interactive 
agents)

Format and Submission Guidelines

LBR papers will be published as 6-page double-column papers generated by 
ACM TAPS.
For review, authors must submit using the single-column review template.
The single-column review submission should be approximately 8–12 pages, 
up to 5,000 words, excluding references.
Authors must not use the old double-column format at the review stage.
Submissions must be made via:
https://new.precisionconference.com

Citation Guidelines

Authors are kindly requested to ensure references report the correct 
publication format to facilitate citation indexing, particularly for 
conferences publishing in journal proceedings such as PACM. Please avoid 
informal conference-style citations when a PACM reference is available.

Anonymization Policy

The review process is double-anonymous. Authors must remove author and 
institutional identities from the title, headers, and document metadata, 
and leave the acknowledgments section blank.
Citations to prior work, including the authors’ own, should remain but 
must be written in the third person (e.g., “As described by [10]…”). 
Further suppression of identifying information in the paper body is left 
to the authors’ discretion.
Authors are reminded that preprints or public dissemination during the 
review period may compromise anonymity and potentially introduce 
unconscious bias.
