Workshop on Theses and Dissertations in HCI

Submissions will be analyzed considering the most significant potential for contributions to their improvement through participation in the WTD-IHC. Preferably, works in an intermediate stage of development and maturity will be selected; they already have some definitions but still have conditions for possible redirections. Very early, completed, or near-complete research is outside the workshop’s scope.

Work can be submitted to WTD-IHC even if another version of the research has been submitted to another IHC 2024 track (for example, research articles and articles on innovative ideas and emerging results in HCI), considering that the focus submission to the workshop must be on the project/design of the research in progress, not on its results, as in other tracks. Submissions in Portuguese or English will be accepted.

Authors must submit an extended abstract of up to 5 pages (including figures, tables, diagrams, bibliography, and annexes) containing:

• The title of the research, the name of the doctoral/master’s student, the name of the supervisor and co-supervisor, the name of the institution and the postgraduate program, the number of months of work development and expected time for finish;
• The motivation for the research, clearly indicating the problem addressed and its relevance, in addition to the objectives of the work;
• The theoretical basis underlying the research and, if applicable, the comparison of the proposed research with related work;
• The research methodology proposed to address the problem, with due detail, explaining how the work has been developed and evaluated;
• The ethical procedures of the research, if applicable, and the submission status for evaluation by an Ethics Committee, if necessary.
• The expected or partial results already obtained are related to the expected contributions to the HCI area.
• The activity schedule highlighting the steps already completed (qualification, proposal, etc.) and future steps;
• Optionally, a link to additional research artifacts (e.g., qualifying text, published articles, raw research data, digital repositories, etc.).

The nominated authorship of the submission must be exclusively that of the master’s/doctoral student and their supervisors.

Authors must follow the Code of Conduct for Authors in Brazilian Computing Society’s Publications.

Authors must submit their submissions electronically in PDF format through the JEMS system, per the SBC model. Submissions must follow the formalities indicated above to be considered.

Changing the language or authors will not be permitted after submitting the article.
