and their user interfaces, addressing one or more software quality factors, such as usability, user experience, reliability, security, etc. Work presented at EICS covers all stages of the engineering life-cycle of interactive systems -inception, requirements,
design, specification, coding, data analytics, validation and verification, deployment, and maintenance. EICS has the longest tradition of bringing together researchers who contribute to better ways of creating interactive computing systems, stemming from
the conference on command languages in the seventies. The conference is best known for rigorously contributing and disseminating research results that hold the midst in between user interface design, software engineering, and computational interaction.<o:p class="ContentPasted0"> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US" class="ContentPasted0">EICS focuses on models, languages, notations, methods, techniques, and tools that support designing, developing,
validating, and verifying interactive systems. The conference brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from design, HCI, software engineering, requirements engineering, software development, modeling, and
programming.<o:p class="ContentPasted0"> </o:p></span></p>

Interaction (PACM HCI - EICS series). There are three submission deadlines per year, and authors can choose when to submit. Papers follow the traditional journal model of reviewing: papers may be accepted after submission and review, or may be recommended
for revisions and re-submission to the next round to enable authors to refine papers based on reviewer recommendations.<o:p class="ContentPasted0"> </o:p></span></p>

the conference. Note that accepted journal papers can be either regular research papers, or technical notes. Technical Notes are shorter, more focused contributions that focus specifically on system contributions and technical work. Elucidating technical details
of complex interactive systems, preferably ensuring the work can be reproduced or put to practice, is a primary objective of a Technical Note. Tech Notes require an illustrative example of the system, and they can, but do not need to, be validated by formal
user evaluations or user studies. Validation can also be done through, e.g., simulation, feasibility, or comparisons. Tech Notes will be judged on their technical merits and relevance to interactive systems concerns.<o:p class="ContentPasted0"> </o:p></span></p>
