CFP: BEHAVE AI 2025 - Workshop on BEst Practices and Guidelines for Human-Centric Design and EvAluation of ProactiVE AI Agents This workshop will be held in conjunction with ACM Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) 2025, March 24-27 in Cagliari, Italy. Please consider submitting a paper by January 23, 2025. Submissions should be no more than 8 pages (excluding references). Please follow the CEUR guidelines for formatting as outlined below. Submission Deadline: January 23, 2025 (EOD) Workshop Website: https://www.hcai.eu/behave-ai/ <https://www.hcai.eu/behave-ai/> Email Contact: matthias.kraus@uni-a.de Proactive systems present unique challenges in human-computer interaction (HCI), including designing for user autonomy, ensuring trust, and developing tailored evaluation metrics. These systems aim to anticipate user needs, prompting action before explicit requests. The BEHAVE AI Workshop seeks to advance proactive HCI by uniting researchers and practitioners to share insights and establish standardized methodologies for improving human-AI interactions. The workshop aims to: - Identify challenges in designing proactive AI systems. - Share best practices for design and evaluation of proactive systems. - Develop metrics and methods for evaluating proactive human-AI interaction. By fostering a diverse and multidisciplinary community, we aim to shape the future of human-centric AI design and evaluation. Call for Papers We encourage submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: - Central challenges in human-centric design of proactive AI agents. - Balancing autonomy and user control in proactive systems. - Evaluating proactive AI’s impact on user experience, trust, and control. - Case studies on proactive AI implementations across various domains. - Suitable timing and context for proactive interactions and autonomous task execution. - Ethical considerations and social implications of proactive AI. Submissions must follow the CEUR guidelines and will undergo a peer-review process based on originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity, and relevance to workshop topics. Submission Guidelines Please submit your paper as a single PDF to matthias.kraus@uni-a.de.
