HCSE is a working conference that brings together researchers and practitioners interested in strengthening the scientific foundations of user interface design, examining the relationship between software engineering and human-computer interaction and on how to strengthen user-centred design as an essential part of software engineering process. As a working conference, substantial time is devoted to an open and lively discussion of papers.

We seek high-quality, original papers that address the theory, design, development and evaluation of ideas, tools, techniques, methodologies in (but not limited to) the following topics:

* Integration of software engineering and user-centred design
* HCI models and model-driven engineering
* Incorporating guidelines and principles for designing usable products into the development processes
* Usability engineering
* Methods for user interface design
* Patterns in HCI
* Software architectures for user interfaces
* User interfaces for ubiquitous environments
* Representations for design in the development process
* Working with processes models like Rational Unified Process (RUP) or eXtreme Programming (XP)
* Social and organisational aspects of software development in a lifecycle perspective
* Case studies


Papers must be written in English and not exceed 16 pages. It is strongly recommended that papers use the templates provided by Springer. Please submit a pdf-version and additionally a doc-file.
