Building on past Pre-ICIS HCI Research in MIS workshops and the tremendous interest in broad HCI issues exhibited by MIS colleagues, the AIS SIGHCI will hold its 24th annual pre-ICIS HCI research workshop prior to ICIS 2025 on Sunday, December 14th, 2025.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE:
The workshop offers MIS-focused HCI researchers the opportunity to come together and build a dynamic community that facilitates constructive and open discussion as well as exchange of ideas related to the field of HCI.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will feature a keynote speaker, as well as completed research and research-in-progress papers accepted for presentation either in the main program as Oral Presentations or as part of a Rapid Research Roundtable (RRR). The RRR offers an opportunity for less matured papers, which have not been accepted for oral presentations, to gain exposure and benefit from the collaborative feedback of the community.
Given the diverse goals of this workshop, a non-exhaustive list of potential topics is provided below:
- Achieving Digital HCI in the Age of AI
- Analysis, design, development, evaluation, and usage of information systems
- Guidelines and standards for interface design
- HCI considerations of generative AI
- Design and evaluation of innovative interaction technologies
- Design and evaluation of mobile and/or web interfaces
- Interface design for collaborative or competitive environments
- Interface design for individual and/or collective usage
- Interface design for the elderly, the young, and/or other special needs populations
- Adaptive, context-aware interface design
- Novel forms of authentication and/or authorization (e.g., mousing or typing dynamics)
- Impact of interface design on beliefs, attitudes, emotions, behaviors, productivity, and/or performance
- Cognitive, Affective, and/or Conversational HCI
- Data analytics in HCI
- Gamified approaches to HCI
- Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Human-Robot Interactions
- Neuroscientific approaches to HCI
- Nudging strategies and techniques in HCI
- Usability engineering (i.e., friction reduction), ease-of-use and user experience
- Ethical issues in HCI
- Pedagogical issues related to HCI education
- Implications and consequences of HCI advances on individuals, collectives, and society

FAST-TRACKING OPPORTUNITIES WITH THCI:
The best completed research papers from the workshop will be fast-tracked for publication consideration in the AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (AIS THCI).
SUBMISSION, REVIEW, AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESS
The workshop seeks high-quality submissions detailing completed research or research-in-progress. Authors should identify their submission as “Completed Research” or “Research in Progress” on the first page below the title. Submissions will undergo a double-blind review process. The submissions should not have been published or be under review elsewhere. All accepted submissions will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will be made available electronically via the AIS digital library.
SUBMISSION FORMAT
All submissions must be formatted for letter size (8.5- x 11-inch where 1 inch = 2.5 cm) and have 1-inch margins on each side. Please use Times New Roman 12-point font with single spacing for the body of the paper. The first page of the manuscript should have a title, the type of the submission (Completed Research or Research-in-Progress), total word count of the submission, an abstract of 150 words or less, and a list of 5-6 keywords.
Maximum length for manuscripts are as follows:
- Completed Research Paper: 14 pages
- Research-in-Progress: 7 pages
These page limits are inclusive of all text, figures, and tables, but do not include the cover page, abstract, keywords, or references.
Only submissions in Word format will be accepted for review.
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts using The Conference Management Toolkit (CMT): https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SIGHCI2025. The submission system is now open. Please sign in or create a CMT account to complete your submission.
The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
As this is a cooperative workshop environment, we expect submitting authors to serve as reviewers of other manuscripts.
