Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development: KEOD 2026 CFP

March 21st, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise

18th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development

Submission Deadline: May 19, 2026

https://keod.scitevents.org

October 28 – 30, 2026

Angers, France

Knowledge Engineering (KE) encompasses the technical, scientific, and social aspects of building, maintaining, and utilizing knowledge-based systems. It draws on AI, databases, expert systems, decision support systems, and software engineering, while integrating insights from logic, cognitive science, and socio-cognitive engineering. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) and Low-code/No-code Platforms have expanded KE’s reach by enabling automated ontology generation and greater accessibility.

Ontology Development (OD) focuses on creating reusable semantic structures like vocabularies, glossaries, and formal ontologies. These structures are essential in applications such as knowledge graphs, digital twins, explainable AI (XAI), cybersecurity, and IoT interoperability. Ontologies also play a crucial role in ensuring ethical AI development, mitigating bias, and enhancing transparency.

KEOD serves as a key venue for researchers and practitioners to explore traditional and cutting-edge topics like LLM-based Ontology Development, Ontology-driven Digital Twins, and Ontology-enhanced Low-code Platforms, fostering innovation in KE and OD across academia and industry.

12° Jornadas Iberoamericanas de Interacción Humano-Computadora (12JIHC’26)

March 19th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Cordial saludo, estimada comunidad académica.
En el marco de la “Semana de tecnologías digitales y los sistemas inteligentes”, tenemos el placer de anunciar la realización de las 12° Jornadas Iberoamericanas de Interacción Humano-Computadora (12JIHC'26), promovidas por la Red Colaborativa HCI-COLLAB.
Les extendemos una cordial invitación a participar en este evento y a presentar sus artículos bajo nuestro eje temático principal:
“Adaptabilidad Contextual: El Usuario como Eje del Software Interactivo e Inteligente”
En la convergencia actual entre software e Inteligencia Artificial (IA), el contexto del usuario se ha convertido en la variable importante para el diseño de experiencias. Ya no basta con interfaces funcionales; hoy se requiere software capaz de percibir, interpretar y adaptarse al entorno, estado cognitivo y preferencias situacionales de las personas.
Las 12JIHC'26 ofrecerán un foro para explorar cómo la IA permite capturar y procesar esta riqueza contextual para crear sistemas hiper-personalizados que no solo reaccionan a comandos, sino que se anticipan las intenciones del usuario, garantizando respuestas precisas y éticas.
 Áreas de Interés (incluyen, pero no se limitan a):
  • Aspectos legales, sociales, culturales y éticos de IHC
  • Industria 4.0 y IHC
  • Accesibilidad, facilidad de uso y sostenibilidad
  • Ciudades y entornos inteligentes
  • Computación afectiva y aspectos emocionales en IHC
  • Computación ubicua y dispositivos móviles
  • Diseño y evaluación en IHC
  • Educación, Pensamiento Computacional e IHC
  • Ingeniería de Software e IHC
  • Entretenimiento y videojuegos / Ergonomía en IHC
  • Género y minorías
  • Principales retos de la investigación en HCI en Iberoamérica
  • IHC, salud y bienestar
  • Interacción social, comunidades en línea y redes sociales
  • Interfaces 3D, inteligentes y adaptativas
  • Interfaces multimodales, naturales (NUI) y tangibles (TUI)
  • IHC, Internet de las cosas (IoT) y nuevos dispositivos
  • Legado y alfabetización digital
  • Nuevos paradigmas de interacción / Programación por el usuario final
  • Realidad Aumentada, Virtual y Extendida
  • Semiótica en IHC / Visualización de la información

Directrices de Envío:
Se invita a presentar artículos largos (Sesión principal) y artículos largos o cortos (Workshops).

  • Recomendamos seguir la plantilla Word de Springer y enviarla de forma anónima (Double-blind peer review).
  • Artículos largos (10 a 15 páginas) / Artículos cortos (8 a 10 páginas).

Fechas Importantes:

ACM ICMI 2026: 2nd Call for Papers

March 17th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
ICMI 2026 2ND CALL FOR PAPERS
============================================
5-9 October 2026, Napoli – Italy
https://icmi.acm.org/2026/
============================================

The 28th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026) will be held in Napoli, Italy. ICMI is the premier international forum for advancing research at the intersection of multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) and social interaction to create technically innovative, effective, and human-centered multimodal interactive systems. A unique aspect of ICMI is its multidisciplinary nature, bringing together research in AI, multimodal data processing, human-machine, and human-human interaction to bridge behavioral understanding with technology, with an eye towards impactful applications that benefit people and society.
Novelty will be evaluated along two dimensions: scientific novelty and technical novelty. Accepted papers at ICMI 2026 must demonstrate novelty in at least one of these two dimensions.

The theme of this year's conference is “Context and Cultural Awareness for Multimodal Interaction”, to explore how context and cultural factors influence multimodal interaction systems, including their design, implementation, and evaluation. We welcome papers that address the integration of contextual understanding, such as environmental, social, and emotional factors, into multimodal interaction systems. We also encourage contributions that explore cultural considerations in the development and deployment of interactive technologies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Affective computing and interaction
* User-adaptive systems
* Cognitive modelling and multimodal interaction
* Context-aware modelling
* Cross-cultural design and evaluation
* Gesture, touch, and haptics
* Healthcare, assistive technologies
* Human communication dynamics
* Human-robot/agent multimodal interaction
* Human-centred AI and ethics
* Interaction with a smart environment
* Machine learning for multimodal interaction
* Mobile and wearable multimodal systems
* Multimodal behaviour generation
* Multimodal datasets and validation
* Multimodal dialogue modeling
* Multimodal fusion and representation
* Multimodal interactive applications
* Novel multimodal datasets
* Spoken/visual behaviours in social interaction
* System components and multimodal platforms
* Virtual/augmented reality and multimodal interaction

Commitment to ethical conduct is mandatory, and submissions must adhere to ethical standards, in particular when human-derived data are employed. Authors are encouraged to consult the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (https://ethics.acm.org/).

*** ACM Publication Policies
ACM's New Open Access Publishing Model. 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, including ICMI.
