Track closing
The HCI in Practice track is intended for all professionals and researchers from industry or academia, professors and students at all levels interested in presenting their experiences with applying Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to concrete problems. These experiences may involve technical, commercial, social, and management aspects and the main challenges related to the application of HCI methods and techniques in the area of the development of products and services.
In 2024, the HCI in Practice track proposes to give new meaning to practice. And for this, it brings something new! In addition to traditional papers that report experiences with HCI techniques and methods (“Experiences of HCI in practice”), the track will open space for submissions of “HCI practices in practice.” This type of submission involves papers that present new practices or known practices in which the authors wish to collect feedback from the HCI community. The idea is to send a description of the practice and a proposal for its application, which will be carried out during the HCI in the Practice track session. The authors will be able to discuss with the community the pros and cons of applying such practice.
It is an exciting opportunity to exchange experiences between professionals and researchers who apply HCI in Practice. The HCI in Practice track offers a space for critical and reflective discussion for people who use HCI practices in their daily work and those who research and advance knowledge in the area. Thus, it constitutes an environment that encourages the emergence of new opportunities for cooperation, the creation of innovative solutions, the exposure of practical challenges, and the identification of trends, mainly aiming to minimize the gap commonly existing between theory and practice.
The works in the HCI in Practice track differ from papers in other tracks (Research, Innovative Ideas, and Experience report tracks) because they do not need to be defined as part of potentially long-term academic research. The track is focused on the use and application of methods, techniques, and tools that assist in the development and evaluation of HCI.
All topics relevant to HCI practice apply to this track, including, but not limited to:
Submissions must be in Portuguese or English and can be categorized as “Experiences of HCI in Practice” or “HCI Practice in Practice.” For “Experiences of HCI Practice,” submissions should report on real cases and experiences relevant to the HCI field, whether successful or unsuccessful. These cases can come from university projects, companies, government institutions, or startups. In the “HCI Practice in Practice,” submissions can address known and established HCI practices or practices under development or evaluation that can benefit from the IHC community feedback.
Please note that submissions do not require the authors to be anonymized. Regarding industry experiences, it is also important to emphasize that the authors are responsible for the content. It is up to them to obtain authorization from the company to submit the proposal and present the case, if necessary. Accepted papers will be published in the extended proceedings of the event and indexed in SBC OpenLib.
The document for submission through the JEMS system is described below:
Paper as an expanded summary (in .pdf) of at least two pages and a maximum of four (excluding references), following the SBC paper format for publishing the work. In addition to the title, authors, email, affiliation (company name, university, etc.), and references, the submission must include the content below according to the modality:
The submission must include a short bio of the authors. If desired, authors can record a video of up to 5 minutes (with a link shared via YouTube) to present themselves and/or the case, experience, or practice they want to apply. The link must be provided in the submission paper document.
Authors must follow the Code of Conduct for Authors in Brazilian Computing Society’s Publications.
Submissions will be evaluated by three members of the program committee, who will consider the approach to the concrete problem, submission adherence (or not) to the HCI track in practice, the clarity of the description of the experience reported or the practice that will be applied, the relevance of the experience or practice to the track, and the contribution to the industry and academic communities.
At least one of the authors of accepted works must register for the Symposium in the Professional category and orally present the work in person in the technical sessions of the event. Only works presented at the conference will be published in the extended symposium proceedings. Detailed information about the presentation format according to each modality will be sent later.
