The e-Lite group will attend the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26) on April 13-17, 2026, in Barcelona, Spain.

The contributions come from both current and former group members, as well as international collaborators. Luigi, Alberto, Tommaso, Luca, Francesca, Andrea S., Riccardo, Giuseppe, and Andrea D.L. will be there in person. If you see any of us, feel free to say hello: we're always happy to chat! 😊

The team will present two full papers (🏅), a TOCHI paper, six posters, and three workshop papers, along with organising a workshop and participating in the Student Mentoring Program.

We are happy to announce that two papers co-authored by members of the e-Lite group have received an Honorable Mention Award 🏅 at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26), to be held from April 13–17, 2026, in Barcelona, Spain.

Both papers will be presented in the Digital Wellbeing Frameworks and Design Strategies session on Friday, April 17 from 9:00 to 10:30 AM.

We are pleased to announce that the e-Lite group will attend the 41st ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC '26), held from March 23–27, 2026, in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Rob Schwartz will present the paper titled "Intervention Design at the Intersection of Accessibility and Digital Wellbeing," a work that explores how interventions for digital wellbeing can be designed to support both individuals with cognitive/learning disabilities and those seeking better digital self-control.

We are pleased to announce the publication of our article, MorphGUI: Real-Time GUI Customization with Large Language Models in the Elsevier International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS). Authored by Tommaso Calò, Andrea Sillano, and Luigi De Russis, the work introduces MorphGUI, a novel framework designed to change how users personalize graphical user interfaces. The framework was evaluated through a use-case implementation with a calendar application and a user study involving 18 participants.

Last week, on October 8-10, 2025, the e-Lite group has attended (in person) the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (CHItaly 2025) in Salerno, Italy.

Luca, Francesca, and Luigi attended the entire conference and particularly the Doctoral Consortium session during which both Luca and Francesca presented their works recieving feedback and precious suggestions from experts and peers.

Luca presented "Novel Interactive Systems Promoting More Intentional Technology Use", joining and linking the works he has done during his first year and half of PhD along with the future works that will follow them.

Francesca presented "Supporting, not Solving: Human-Centered AI Systems in Education", where she shared her initial works explored during her first year of PhD followed by many ideas of new possible directions to undergo.

We are excited to announce that our latest research, Intelligent Support for Digital Wellbeing: a Design Framework through a Systematic Literature Review, has been published in the prestigious Elsevier International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS). The research, led by Luca Scibetta, Massimiliano Pellegrino, Alberto Monge Roffarello, and Luigi De Russis from the e-Lite group, introduces a design framework of 6 dimensions and 23 sub-dimensions providing a guide for the design of AI-powered digital wellbeing applications.

The paper reflects on how to apply AIs to digital wellbeing, accounting for the sensitivity of the topic to ensure that users are protected. Designers need to put great attention on the use of AI in this field: while there is a need for respecting the users, it is possible to exploit the flexibility of AI to improve current digital wellbeing tools, making them personalised and adaptive to user specific needs. Our design framework provides a set of aspects that require serious attention for a well-considered choice along with reflections over the available options.

On July 21-23, 2025, the e-Lite group will attend the 12th Learning @ Scale Conference (L@S 2025) in Palermo, Italy.

Francesca Russo will present her latest publication "Towards Step-Aware ITSs: Generation and Evaluation of Synthetic Step-by-Step Exercise Solutions" on Tuesday, July 22 during the poster session from 16:00 to 17:30.

In June 2025, Francesca Russo received the Best Late Breaking Results Award at the 17th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS 2025)!

From June 23 to June 27, 2025, the e-Lite group will attend the 17th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS 2025) in Trier, Germany.

Francesca and Tommaso will attend the conference in person to showcase their latest work on enhancing the workflow for UI designers and developers using AI. Tommaso will present a paper introducing new datasets to train more capable AI models that can automatically generate code from a visual concept. Francesca will present a late-breaking result that introduces a method to translate web data into Figma-compatible designs, allowing the development of AI-powered assistants that integrate directly into designers' creative workflows.

The e-Lite group will be represented at the 10th International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD 2025), taking place from June 16 to 18 in Munich, Germany.

Alberto and Tommaso will attend the conference in person to present two full papers on digital wellbeing and generative AI for design. Our contributions explore how end-user development can empower people to shape their own digital experiences—whether by creating personalized self-control tools or by collaborating with AI in creative workflows.

If you're around Munich for the conference, come find us—we’d love to chat!
