On June 26-30, 2023, the e-Lite group participated (in person) in the 15th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS 2023) in Swansea, United Kingdom.

Our participation proved to be a fruitful engagement, full of insightful discussions, critical feedback, and opportunities for growth. Here, we discuss the responses to our presentations and the constructive criticism we have garnered for future improvements.

Juan Pablo Sáenz and Tommaso Calò each presented a paper, while Tommaso also discussed his doctoral research during the Doctoral Consortium.

The first paper introduces an innovative conversational agent that captures a developer's reasoning and motivations during the coding process. The second paper, on the other hand, presents a visual programming tool enabling the design, training, and evaluation of deep learning models without the need for specific programming languages. Tommaso Calò's Doctoral Consortium research discusses how AI can bring changes to human experiences during design and creative processes.

On June 6-8, 2023, the e-Lite group will attend (in person) the 9th International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD 2023) in Cagliari, Italy.

Alberto Monge Roffarello and Tommaso Calò will present two papers (one regular and one short) on June 7, while Luigi De Russis will chair the "Demo and Work-in-progress" session on June 8 (15:20-16:35).

The regular paper presents a voice-based approach to define trigger-action rules in smart environments. The short paper, instead, is on end-user website generators through Large Language Models (LLMs).

Quarta edizione della lezione‑spettacolo, realizzata grazie a Just the Woman I Am, un’iniziativa che coinvolge decine di migliaia di persone accentrando l’attenzione sulla salute della donna, in ambito di prevenzione oncologica ma non solo, promossa dal CUS Torino, assieme all’Università di Torino e al Politecnico di Torino.

La lezione‑spettacolo 2023 "Donne libere di vivere" pone ancora e sempre la donna al centro, così come ogni anno si parte con una corsa/camminata in occasione della Festa della Donna, con l'obiettivo di ricordare il ruolo fondamentale della conoscenza e di sottolineare che quella stessa conoscenza può coinvolgerci con leggerezza, persino con divertimento.

On April 26, Mauricio Verano and I presented our work "The Art of Creating Code-Based Artworks" in the Late-Breaking Work session at ACM CHI (Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems) 2023, the premier international conference of Human-Computer Interaction.

Our work stems from the fact that software has become an artistic medium, and programming with artistic purposes has been portrayed under the umbrella term Creative Coding: a discovery-based process consisting of exploration, iteration, and reflection, where code is used as the primary medium to create a wide range of media artifacts designed for an artistic context. Concerning traditional programming, Creative Coding has a different development process and poses distinctive challenges, technically and conceptually.

On April 26, 2023, Alberto presented the paper "Defining and Identifying Attention Capture Damaging Patterns in Digital Interfaces" in the "Digital Wellbeing" session at ACM CHI 2023, the premier international conference of Human-Computer Interaction. The paper is a collaboration between the e-Lite group and the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at Santa Clara University, CA (USA).

Our work is motivated by the growing public discussion and research attention on the negative aspects of overusing technology. We all know that digital services like social media and video games often capture us, even against our will. In the paper, we investigated how these digital services can capture our attention so much and, in particular, if this attention-capture can be created by design.
