CUAs are moving from point automations to generalist agents that act across heterogeneous tools and long-horizon workflows. This shift makes IUI questions central: How should users understand, steer, and correct an agent acting on their behalf? Which interaction patterns reduce over-trust, surface uncertainty, and support recovery? How can we expose policy constraints and risks without overloading users?
We invite short research papers (4–6 pages) and demos/design artifacts (2–4 pages) on human-centered methods, interfaces, evaluations, and deployments that make CUAs trustworthy-by-design. Submissions will be single-blind, receive at least two reviews, and (subject to final confirmation) be published in CEUR-WS. Selected authors may be invited to contribute to a TRUST-CUA Checklist v1.0 and a shared evaluation profile (CUBench-IUI) emphasizing user-centered metrics (predictability, oversight effort, time-to-recovery, policy-aligned success).
We invite researchers and practitioners who are passionate about the various directions in which AI may revolutionize the no-code automation field to submit their work. Submissions can reflect on past work, in-progress projects, present challenges and approaches, identified opportunities, critical opinions, and software demonstrations
Submissions must be written in English, prepared using TBD, formatted in PDF, and submitted through TBD
Extended Abstracts (up to 6 pages): results and ideas of interest to the AutoMates community, including position papers, system and application descriptions and presentations of preliminary results, an overview of papers accepted at another conference or which you submitted or plan to submit to another conference.
Regular papers (up to 9 pages) including an appropriate number of references): must contain enough substance that they can be cited in other publications and may not have appeared before.
All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference and at least one author is required to register to the conference.
Submissions should be single-blind so the names of the authors will be visible to the reviewers and should be indicated on the submitted files. In justified cases, if you wish your submission to be handled anonymously (i.e., double-blind) please send an e-mail to automatesworkshop@gmail.com explaining the reasons. You will receive instructions on how to proceed.
