Fourth Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Human-Machine Interaction
AIxHMI 2026
October 6 - 9, 2026
Perugia, Italy
Co-located with the 24th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2026)
Overview
Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) is benefitting from the advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques as they enable the improvement of reliability, effectiveness, and efficiency of HMI-based systems. This becomes particularly relevant when facing new technologies - such as wearable devices - that accompany us in every-day life with a plethora of applications spanning from continuous patient monitoring to immersive video-game experiences, from emotional regulation to educational support.
As these novel applications have the potentiality of impacting a user’s life, work, education, health, and free-time, their development should consider some - if not all - of the following necessities: being rigorous, secure, reliable, fair, and compliant with ethical aspects as well as regulations.
The AIxHMI workshop aims to connect researchers and practitioners from different fields to collect multidisciplinary contributions on topics concerning HMI and especially on the influence that AI has in the interaction between humans and machines. Contributions coming from universities, research institutes, and industries are very welcomed and are not limited to technological advancements in terms of hardware and software, but can also provide discussions on cognitive aspects, ethical and juridical concerns, ergonomic issues and user experience in a variety of application fields.
The AIxHMI workshop welcomes submissions including, but not limited to:
Affective computing
Artificial intelligence
Brain-computer interfaces
Control devices
Ergonomics
Ethics in artificial intelligence
Human-centered computing
Human-centered sensing
Human-machine interaction
Interfaces
Multimodal machine learning (sensors, information, environment)
Neuropsychology and neuroscience in the HMI field
Regulations and juridical aspects in the HMI field
Sensors
User experience
Virtual and augmented reality
Wearable sensing
Paper Submission
Notice that AIxIA Workshops are activated only if at least 5 original contributions are submitted and accepted as short (5-7 pages plus max 2 pages for bibliography) or regular (10-12 pages plus max 2 pages for bibliography) papers.
Moreover, following the AIxIA Main Conference regulations, papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings only if at least one of the paper authors will register to the Main Conference.
The AIxHMI Workshop also invites submissions
of full papers
of short papers
of position papers (as short papers)
on experimental protocols
on ongoing research projects
on pilot studies
Papers with less than 25000 characters will be considered as short papers in the CEUR proceedings.
All papers will be peer-reviewed (single-blind) by the program committee members and their camera-ready versions will be included in the conference proceedings published on CEUR in the AI*IA Series (Scopus indexed).
The papers will be evaluated considering the relevance of their content to the workshop main topics (i.e., human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence), novelty, technical soundness, and quality of the presentation.
Manuscripts should be formatted using the 1-column CEUR-ART Style, which is available as:
an Overleaf template.
a LaTeX and DOCX offline template.
Papers submission is electronic through EasyChair, at the link:

Important Dates
Abstract submission deadline (optional): July 3, 2026 → July 10, 2026.
Paper submission deadline: July 10, 2026 → July 24, 2026.
Notification of acceptance: between August 5, 2026 and August 12, 2026 (depending on the submission date).
Camera-ready and publication agreement submission: August 21, 2026 → August 25, 2026.
