Innovative Ideas and Emerging Results

The Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC) is the largest Brazilian national event in the area of ​​Human-Computer Interaction. In 2020, it had an H5 of 11 and is improving. It is an event classified by CAPES with stratum A3 in the 2017-2020 four-year period.

The Innovative Ideas and Emerging Results track has become established in IHC as a space for the presentation of original and stimulating research in the area of Human-Computer Interaction to accelerate the exposure of the scientific community to new insights, themes, and theories, as well as promising and inspiring results. It is important to emphasize that this track is not for short articles but for presenting and sharing emerging and potentially innovative research or techniques and perspectives that challenge the status quo in Human-Computer Interaction.

Attention: If your article is in the early stages but has relevant findings in the area of Human-Computer Interaction and is of interest to the event, the correct track for submission is Posters and Demonstrations.

Therefore, if your article meets at least one of the objectives listed below, this is the track for you to submit your work:

• Share innovative ideas. The aim is to increase understanding and awareness of the innovative idea to be discussed. This innovative idea may help to expand and define relevant themes related to the problems investigated in HCI.
• Present and discuss emerging results. Emerging results can be characterized by partial and/or preliminary results that denote one of the stages achieved within a process that will still be finalized in an HCI research.

We invite submissions that present their paths taken and discuss their glimpses of the directions to be taken in their research on various topics and methodologies in HCI, which may include:

• Original and innovative technologies, techniques, or prototypes;
• Qualitative or quantitative studies containing a complete analysis;
• Contributions that broaden discussions of previous research;
• Notes and reflections that motivate new themes, challenges, debates, or future work;
• Theoretical or methodological contributions that promote discussions of high relevance to the community.

Submissions should present an original contribution, not published elsewhere, and not under review in other conferences or journals.
