The Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computer Systems (IHC) is the main scientific event in the Human-Computer Interaction area in Brazil. IHC promotes the exchange of ideas and information about research and studies that aim to contribute to the interaction between users and computing systems. The event is promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Computação - SBC), via its Special Commission on HCI (CEIHC).

In 2014, the thirteenth edition of IHC will be held in Foz do Iguaçu, PR, from October 27th to 31st. Inspired by its host city (located in the triple Brazilian frontier), IHC 2014 has as its main theme "Frontiers of Interaction". The conference aims to foster the discussion of ideas and knowledge about diversity in HCI. That means, for example, stimulating reflections on the interdisciplinarity of our area and our community, as well as the relationship with other areas which share a frontier with HCI.

This theme also has to do with the challenges to broadening horizons so as to meet users diversity, respect differences and learn from them. Therefore, we will discuss new ways to interact that break traditional patterns we have been working with. It also has to do with encouraging intercultural interaction, thus reflecting about our own knowledge and our role towards the cultural diversity entailed by HCI.

The full papers category publishes results from high quality scientific research. Submissions should report an original academicwork that has not been published in another forum, or is not under review elsewhere. Contributions should include unpublished and relevant results of scientific research, case studies or empirical research that provide validated conclusions and evidences about the a research or application regarding HCI.

Submissions must be anonymized and the paper must have up to 10 pages (including figures, tables, diagrams, bibliography and annexes), in the ACM SIGCHI format (ACM SIGCHI) .Authors must submit their papers electronically in PDF, in the EasyChair system (IHC2014).

Each submission must be revised by at least three researchers in the area. In case of disagreements or inconsistencies, a senior meta-review process will be done to support the chairs final decision.

Authors of accepted papers must register to IHC 2014 to have their paper published in the proceedings a presented at the conference and in the ACM Library. Each full paper will have 20 minutes for presentation, followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
