*** Call for Papers ***8th International Symposium on End-User Development(IS-EUD 2021): "Democratizing AI Development"July 6-8, 2021, Atlantica Miramare Beach Hotel 4*, Limassol, Cyprushttp://cyprusconferences.org/iseud2021/End-user development (EUD) aims at empowering end users to develop andadapt systems at a level of complexity that is adequate to their expertise,practices, and skills. EUD may occur along the entire software lifecycle, withthe purpose of making users able to participate in their artifact development,not only at design time, but also during actual use.Originally, EUD was conceived as a more general concept than end-userprogramming; thus, scholars proposed methods, techniques and tools thatallow end users to modify or extend software artifacts, such as spreadsheets,web applications, video games, and mobile applications. In the co-calledInternet of Things era, end-user development moved on to address theproblem of defining and modifying the behavior of smart environments,including smart objects, pervasive displays, smart homes, smart cities, and soon. Therefore, the term "end-user development" acquired a broader meaningcovering approaches, frameworks and socio-technical environments thatallow end users to express themselves in crafting digital artifacts thatencompass both software and hardware technology.Recent research and technological trends like Artificial Intelligence (AI), BigData, Cyber-Security, Robotics, and Industry 4.0, have contributed to renewthe vision of end-user development, by providing tools and platforms thatallow end users to harness the power of AI to create solutions involvingComputer Vision, Image Processing, Conversational User Interfaces, as well assolutions for smart environments. Such developments lower the threshold forcreating AI solutions, and expand the programmer base for such solutions,by extending AI application both for professional and discretionary use. IS-EUD is a bi-annual event for researchers and practitioners with aninterdisciplinary approach to EUD, including: Human-Computer Interaction,Software Engineering, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Human-WorkInteraction Design, and related areas.IS-EUD 2021 Theme: Democratizing AI DevelopmentThe 2021 edition of IS-EUD focuses on EUD for AI-based systems, whereend users are called on to become end-user developers of intelligent agents,digital twins, collaborative and social robots. This edition would like todiscuss the adoption of EUD in new fields, the proposal of novel EUDparadigms, and the impact of AI-based EUD in terms of user acceptabilityand appropriation. One of the most interesting topics in human-AI interactionis explainability of AI-based systems: research submissions presenting end-user oriented solutions to this problem will be particularly welcome.Theoretical and empirical work analyzing pros and cons of this new EUDwave, identifying requirements for end-user development of AI andacceptance of related solutions is invited. Software infrastructures and eco-systems supporting the reuse of solutions and the emergence of meta-design practices are of particular interest to this community, linking thechallenges relating AI to topics central to the IS-EUD community.Conference TopicsThe conference welcomes contributions that:• describe new, simple and efficient environments for end-user development• describe new processes, methods and techniques for empowering users tocreate, modify and tailor digital artifacts• present case studies and design implications on challenges and practices ofend-user development • develop theoretical concepts and foundations for the field of end-userdevelopmentSpecific topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones:• User-oriented orchestration of AI-based devices• Conversational interfaces for end-user development• End-user development for big data visualization and exploration• End-user development for collaborative robotics• End-user development for social robotics• End-user development in Industry 4.0• End-user development and explainable AI-based systems• Cybersecurity and end-user development• End-user development in daily life• Technologies and infrastructures for end-user development• Empirical studies of end-user development• Recommender systems to support end-user development• Cultures of participation and meta-design approaches• Technology acceptance and adoption studies of end-user development technologies• Evaluation of end-user development technologies• Supporting creative work through end-user developmentSubmissionsWe invite two types of paper submissions:1. Regular papers, up to 16 pages, describing original unpublished researchmaking a substantial contribution to the research field2. Short papers, up to 8 pages, describing original unpublished research,making a small but solid contribution to the fieldAll submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. The reviewprocess for this category is double-blind, thus submissions must beanonymized. Accepted papers (both regular and short) will appear in thearchival proceedings of IS-EUD 2021, published by Springer in the LectureNotes on Computer Science (LNCS) series, and will be presented in plenarysessions of the conference.Workshop proposals are invited (max 6 pages) aligned to the themes of theconference. Workshops provide an informal setting where participants havethe opportunity to discuss specific topics in an atmosphere that fosters theactive exchange of ideas. Workshops can be half day or one-day long andwill be held on July 6, 2021. Accepted workshop proposals will be includedin the IS-EUD 2021 adjunct proceedings, which will be submitted toCEUR-WS.org for online publication.Submissions of regular papers, short papers and workshop proposals shouldindicate in the title page "Regular", "Short" or "Workshop" respectively.Demonstration and Work in Progress papers are also welcomed.A Demonstration paper (max 6 pages) should be structured according to thefollowing:• Abstract (150 words maximum)• Topics to be covered and their relevance to the EUD community• Detailed description of the planned demonstration activity• Diagrams or screenshots (if relevant)• Supporting documentation (e.g., project website)• ReferencesWork in Progress submissions (max 6 pages) are intended for presentingpreliminary results or tentative findings and position papers. The authors ofaccepted contributions will have the opportunity to give an oral presentationduring parallel sessions.Finally, the IS-EUD Doctoral Consortium is intended to bring together PhDstudents working on theory and application of EUD. We particularly encouragestudents that are about half-way through their doctoral research to submitdoctoral consortium contributions (max 6 pages) describing the topic of theirPhD, their approach and a summary of their progress.Demonstration, Work in Progress and Doctoral Consortium submissionsshould indicate in the title page “Demo”, “WiP” or “DC” respectively. Acceptedsubmissions will be included in IS-EUD 2021 adjunct proceedings, which willbe submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication.Submissions of all types should be carefully formatted according to theSpringer LNCS format:https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelinesand should be submitted through the Easy Chair system at:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iseud2021Important Dates• Regular and Short papers submission: March 8, 2021 • Notification: March 30, 2021 • Camera-ready: April 30, 2021 • Workshop proposal submission: March 8, 2021 • Notification: March 15, 2021• Camera-ready: April 30, 2021 • Demonstration and Work in Progress submission: April 7, 2021 • Notification: April 21, 2021• Camera-ready: April 30, 2021 • Doctoral Consortium submission: April 7, 2021• Notification: April 30, 2021• Camera-ready: May 15, 2021OrganizersGeneral Chairs• Panos Markopoulos (Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands)• George A.
