Conference Description:

The 14th International Conference on “Software and Emerging Technologies for Education, Culture, Entertainment, and Commerce (SETECEC 2026): New Directions in Multimedia Mobile Computing, Social Networks, Human-Computer Interaction and Communicability” is a scientific meeting for discussing the latest advances in the emerging areas of computer sciences and new technologies for education, cultural and natural heritage, virtual entertainment and digital commerce, for example.

All contributions –papers, posters, workshops, demos, doctoral consortium, research-in-progress, and so on, should be of high quality, originality, and significance. In the current international conference it is demonstrated how with a correct integration among professionals of formal, factual and natural sciences interesting research lines in the following subjects: Artificial Agents in Extended Reality, Computer Art and Creativity, Cyber-culture, Distance Learning, Educational Methodologies, Extended Reality, Gamification, Graphical User Interfaces, HCI, ICT, Intelligence Artificial, Interactive Design, Mobile Computing, Multimedia, Network Security, Machine Learning, Motion Graphics, Quality Evaluation of High Education, Social and Human Factors, Ubiquitous Computing, Users and Adaptive Interfaces, UX, Videogame Technologies, Visual Effects and Computer Graphics; and other computational areas are solicited on.

Hence topics from the whole range of education, cultural / natural heritage and new technologies, human-computer interaction, extended reality, software, design, interactive systems, and so on, are welcomed. Last year’s symposia, workshops, conferences, etc., organized by ALAIPO and AInCI, for instance, included research works on the topics (see above the alphabetical order). An extensive listing connotes and reflects the requirement and also skill necessary to find intersection zones of the disciplines among the different domains, fields, and specialities; which at the same time potentially boosts and merges the formerly different scientific views.

Finally, all submitted contributions will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted research works who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their works, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their contributions.

This is an international conference “100% in-person.”
