Mini-courses are short-duration events on a research, development, or innovative technology topic related to the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), allowing participants to learn a new topic related to their area of expertise or extract elements for application to their research and/or practice. The target audience for mini-courses includes undergraduate and graduate students, professionals in the field, researchers, and educators.
This call invites experts from academia and industry to organize mini-courses offered during the XXIII Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC’24). The IHC’24 mini-courses will last 3 (three) or 6 (six) hours. The Mini-Courses can be presented in Portuguese or English.
Proposals should be limited to two pages in Portuguese or English, using the SBC article format. Submissions must necessarily include the following sections:
The authors should pay attention to the reference format required by the template. Mini-course proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format using the JEMS system.
Authors must follow the Code of Conduct for Authors in Brazilian Computing Society’s Publications.
The submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by at least 2 (two) researchers from the HCI community to analyze the intersection of the mini-course proposal with themes related to the area and of interest to the community.
Changing the language or authors will not be permitted after submitting the proposal.
The notification of the selected proposals will be according to this call schedule. The mini-courses must be offered in person, with no online participation allowed, even in a hybrid format. It must occur between October 7th and 11th, 2024, on a day and time to be confirmed by the organization of IHC’24. At least one of the authors must be present to conduct the planned activities.
The mini-course offering is an opportunity to conduct research, given that the leading HCI researchers in Brazil will be at the event. However, this practice must align with the Brazilian ethical aspects of research involving people (in accordance with the Regulatory Norms and Guidelines for Research Involving Human Beings – CNS Resolution No. 466/2012, Operational Norm 001/2013, CNS Resolution No. 510/2016 e CNS Resolution No. 674/2022 ). In this case, it is up to the mini-course proposers to be responsible for carrying out, before it happens, all necessary ethical procedures for conducting the research study. Note that a registered mini-course participant who does not consent to be a research volunteer cannot have their participation in the mini-course revoked or affected.
The authors of the selected mini-courses should submit the final version of the proposal for publication in the Companion Proceedings of IHC’24. Additionally, authors may provide additional material as supporting resources, such as course notes or slides, substantial and self-contained, accompanied by a bibliography, to event participants for further study of the course topics. We suggest the authors release the additional material as resources to the community on the SBC-OpenLib (SOL) platform afterward.
The organization will try to publish a book chapter or a book (in the case of approval of only one mini-course or if only the authors of one mini-course express interest in the book) if the authors of the approved mini-course proposals are interested. The activities for this will take place after the event.
Authors must authorize the publication of the mini-course proposal in the Companion Proceedings, in addition to the mini-course resources or book chapter, if applicable. One presenter of each mini-course will receive free registration for the event.
The publication of a book chapter or book depends on future agreements and will follow a schedule to be defined among interested parties.
