Call for participations EICS is the second international conference devoted to the engineering of usable and effective interactive computing systems. Systems of interest will include traditional workstation-based interactive systems, new and emerging modalities (e.g., gesture), entertaining applications (e.g., mobile and ubiquitous games) and development methods (e.g., extreme programming).

EICS focuses on methods and techniques, and the tools that support them, for designing and developing interactive systems. It brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from the HCI, Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, CSCW, Ubiquitous / Pervasive Systems and Game Development communities.

EICS encompasses the former EHCI (Engineering Human Computer Interaction, sponsored by IFIP 2.7/13.4), DSV-IS (International Workshop on the Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems), CADUI (International Conference on Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces) and TAMODIA (International Workshop on Task Models and Diagrams) conferences.

The conference will be organized by DAI-Labor Research Center and held at Ernst-Reuter Haus. The conference will be located at the "Straße des 17. Juni", a famous main axis crossing the heart of the city west to east from Ernst-Reuter-Platz through the Brandenburg Gate up to the palace square (Schlossplatz).

Conference program at a glance EICS'2010 features only peer-reviewed contributions in the following categories: research papers, demonstrations, doctoral consortium, late breaking results, tutorials, and seven co-located workshops.

Keynote speakers

• User Interface Plasticity: MDE to the limit!

Prof. Joëlle Coutaz, University of Grenoble, France • http://iihm.imag.fr/coutaz

• Model Engineering for Model-Driven Engineering

As part of the social program, there have been scheduled two visits to leading research labs.
At the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and DAI-Labor you will be able to experience ambient
assisted living and innovative interaction technologies. At the Human Computer Interaction
Lab at Hasso Plattner Institute interactive devices, miniature mobile devices and touch
interaction will be presented.
