EICS (the ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems) is a the second edition of the new interna-tional conference devoted to all aspects of the engineering of usable and effective interactive computing systems, ranging from traditional workstation-based interactive systems to those involving new and emerging modalities (e.g. gesture), applications (e.g. mobile and ubiquitous games) and development methods (e.g. extreme programming).

EICS focuses on tools, techniques and methods for designing and developing interactive systems. EICS 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. It aims at covering the full spectrum of engineering tools, design environments, methods and related infrastructure that provide assistance to designers and developers in the user interface development life cycle, including requirements elicitation, early design, rapid prototyping, detailed design, development, software testing, usability evaluation, deployment, maintenance and reengineering.

EICS-2009 was the continuation of the successful EHCI (Engineering of Human Computer Interaction) series of conferences sponsored by IFIP Working Group 2.7/13.4 along with the 16th International Workshop on the Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems (DSV-IS). EICS-2010 proceeds with the idea of integrating existing conferences in the domain by merging also CADUI-2010 (the 8th Int. Conf. on Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces) and TAMODIA-2010 (the 9th Int. Workshop on Task Models and Diagrams).
