IHC
5th Symposium on Human Factors in Computer
Systems
The IHC - Symposium on Human Factors in
Computer Systems is the leading brazilian forum for the exchange
of ideas and information about human-computer interaction
(HCI). It is the meeting place for researchers from industry
and the academy, designers, practitioners, educators and others
from a broad range of traditions and communities. The conference
takes HCI in the non-limited sense of research and practice
addressing the design and use of interactive technology.
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary
field concerned with the application of computer science,
psychology, ergonomics and many other disciplines in industry
and commerce. Its goal is to facilitate the design, implementation
and evaluation of information and communications systems that
satisfy the needs of those who own and use them.
The IHC 2002 - V Symposium on Human Factors
in Computer Systems will take place in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil,
October 7-10, 2002. It is sponsored by the Brazilian Computer
Society (http://www.sbc.org.br)
and it will be held in conjunction with the Brazilian Symposium
on Multimidia and Hypermidia (SBMIDIA), the Brazilian Symposium
on Computer Graphics and Image Processing (SIBGRAPI) and the
Symposium on Virtual Reality (SVR). All information on past
IHC events can be found at http://www.sbc.org.br/ihc.
IHC 2002 will cover all main areas of HCI
research and practice, but will focus on the conference theme
of "Usability, a right". The idea is to foreground
the importance of usability in computing systems as a right
for every citizen in a society. Since people are obliged to
interact with systems for paying taxes, for voting, for banking,
and so on, usability should not be driven only by market forces.
The conference aims to look at the questions of consumer rights
and the policies of government agencies and computing societies
to assure usability rights.
The technical program consists of invited
talks, tutorials, panels and technical paper sessions with
topics of general interest. The technical papers may be full
papers (12 pages) or short papers (2 pages). Full papers are
the main category for complete research results meeting international
academic standards. Short papers are the main category for
designers, programmers, developers to report design cases,
practical experiences or on-going research.
