COMPANION OF THE 2024 ACM SIGCHI SYMPOSIUM ON ENGINEERING INTERACTIVE COMPUTING SYSTEMS, EICS 2024
Abstract
This panel commemorates the 50th anniversary of the IFIP TC2 Working Conference on Command Languages (CCL) and the 30th anniversary of the workshop series on Design Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems (DSV-IS), and uses that opportunity to position EICS within the HCI community. The discussion traces the origins of the EICS conference, from the union of seminal conferences to its current status and looks forward into its (possible) future. Reflecting on its contributions to the evolution of HCI methodologies, tools, and practices, the panel highlights the conference's role and impact on shaping the engineering of interactive systems.

DESIGN FOR EQUALITY AND JUSTICE, INTERACT 2023, PT I
Abstract
This paper leverages the outcomes of the first workshop on HCI Engineering Education [4] to create an online repository where the community can share content relevant to HCI. The repository takes advantage of the functionalities of the Git file versioning system to support presenting and adding content. The paper describes the structure of the repository and the process for adding new content. In addition, we propose an adaptation of the framework for presenting teaching samples, supporting more flexibility in the application of educational material for different teaching objectives. The new presentation format starts with describing a design problem and emphasises the students' applied understanding of conceptual and theoretical knowledge. The presentation format is demonstrated and discussed by the example of an end-user design tool for mobile data collection.

DESIGN FOR EQUALITY AND JUSTICE, INTERACT 2023, PT I
Abstract
The second workshop on HCI Engineering Education continued the effort of the IFIP Working Group 2.7/13.4 on User Interface Engineering by discussing the issues and identifying the opportunities in teaching and learning Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Engineering. The workshop attracted eight papers covering different teaching contexts, ranging from massive university courses, passing through different teaching experiences in specific academic curricula, and even teaching engineering concepts to children. In addition, the workshop received input for improving and adapting the repository material to the dynamic nature of this field. The discussion after the presentation of the contributions focused on how to model competencies, the support to interdisciplinary work, the overall course design, the recruitment of the students and the provision of educational resources, paving the way for further editions of the workshop.

HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION - INTERACT 2023, PT II
Abstract
Slight variations in user interface response times can significantly impact the user experience provided by an interface. Load testing is used to evaluate how an application behaves under increasing loads. For interactive applications, load testing can be done by directly calling services at the business logic or through the user interface. In modern web applications, there is a considerable amount of control logic on the browser side. The impact of this logic on applications' behaviour is only fully considered if the tests are done through the user interface. Capture reply tools are used for this, but their use can become costly. Leveraging an existing model-based testing tool, we propose an approach to automate load testing done through the user interface.

Abstract
The use of model checking tools allows for the formal verification of properties over models of systems, improving their robustness. However, these tools are challenging to use, and their results require much work of interpretation to communicate to stakeholders. To address this issue, the IVY Workbench offers a plethora of options to make the process of creating and understanding the models, properties and results of the verification process more accessible, with a particular focus on interactive computing systems. Despite this, there is still a significant requirement of expertise to use the tool. To solve this, an approach to provide structured natural language explanations for the results of model checking-based tools is being developed, to be later incorporated into the IVY Workbench. This paper presents the current state of the approach's development, stating its objective and what results can already be achieved.
