| Leonelo Dell Anhol Almeida; Maria Cecília Calani Baranauskas | |||
| Accessibility in Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) is still far from reality for most of the Web applications currently available. Some factors that influence this scenario are the novelty of research and products for developing RIAs, and the challenging activity of identifying and involving representatives of RIAs target people. Aiming at clarifying the state-of-the-art of this research topic we conducted a Systematic Literature Review of studies addressing accessibility and awareness of others in RIAs. This paper presents our findings related to the overall contributions of the reviewed studies and analyzes the target people and the methods employed for involving them in the research lifecycle. | |||

This paper provides a qualitative analysis and reports that may help enable research groups to find out solutions to some of the problems addressed herein. | |||
| Uso do MIS para avaliar signos sonoros: quando um problema de comunicabilidade se torna um problema de acessibilidade | | BIBA | Full-Text | 47-56 | |
| Luiz Paulo Damilton Corrêa; Flávio R. S. Coutinho; Raquel Oliveira Prates; Luiz Chaimowicz | |||
| This paper discusses the use of the Semiotic Inspection Method (SIM) to evaluate a scope not yet explored in interactive systems: audio. The audio features of an interface can be used to stream content and even convey information to users about their interaction. The scientific and technical application of the method for this scope will be presented. Besides the importance of evaluating the communicability of these sound features, this paper also discusses aspects of accessibility identified in the assessment. To illustrate, we present a case study that took into account the profile of users with hearing impairment, where the method was used to assess the impact of equivalence between audio features and visual features for these users in a digital game. | |||
| Customizing a communication device for a child with cerebral palsy using participatory design practices: contributions towards the PD4CAT method | | BIBA | Full-Text | 57-66 | |
| Luciana Correia Lima de Faria Borges; Lucia Vilela Leite Filgueiras; Cristiano Maciel; Vinicius Carvalho Pereira | |||
| Participatory Design (PD) is frequently cited as a convenient approach for designing high assistive technology (HAT) for people with serious speech impairments. However, these reports show that PD is used in an ad hoc fashion, while a methodological framework for the inception, construction and evaluation of HATs is still missing. In this paper, we report the results of an action research performed to design a communication device to help a non-verbal child develop her language skills. PD4CAT -- a participatory design method for customized assistive technology was used to direct this research. | |||
| Redes sociais online orientadas à difusão de inovações como suporte à comunicação sustentável nas organizações | | BIBA | Full-Text | 67-75 | |
| Fernando Cesar Balbino; Junia Coutinho Anacleto | |||
| Learning to hear and be heard are actions that promote sustainable communication. Based on this premise, this work presents Contagious, a set of computational guidelines to build onlide social networks focused on diffusion of innovations. The process of mapping principles of a social theory to computational guidelines is described. In the context of this work, an innovation tends to drive changes in individual and collective behavior, and should be communicated by means of a collaborative and education-based interaction. Thus, online social networks rise as a potential technology to support sustainable communication in organizations. | |||
| Understanding NUI-supported nomadic social places in a Brazilian health care facility | | BIBA | Full-Text | 76-84 | |
| Roberto Calderon; Sidney Fels; Jônatas Leite de Oliveira; Junia Anacleto | |||
| We use the concept of third place as a lens to understand and catalogue the natural socializing practices of Brazilians within a chronic care hospital setting in order to understand natural practices that can be used on the design of NUI technologies to support Brazilian sociability and communities. Third places, as introduced by Oldenburg, are places that lie in-between the seriousness of work and the privateness of home, where social links are exercised through inclusive and playful conversation. We performed an ethnographic study with a community of Brazilian health care professionals at a chronic care hospital. We observed that daily socializing, through constant playful conversation creates a sense of "togetherness" that appears essential for problem solving and leads to more efficient work groups. We found that third places within the studied community happen as serendipitous gatherings where personal and work stories are exchanged. These gatherings occur in unexpected places and are nomadic in nature, thus, the third place location is fluid. NUIs and other ICTs can promote these gatherings by creating "informational hubs" where people can come together to acquire, discuss and share information. | |||
| The internet generation and its representations of death: considerations for posthumous interaction projects | | BIBA | Full-Text | 85-94 | |
| Cristiano Maciel; Vinicius Carvalho Pereira | |||
| The internet generation massively uses social networks and interacts in these communities with data from dead people. However, how do the death representations of this generation influence its conceptions and practices on posthumous interaction? By means of a quanti-qualitative research, with surveys and data analysis, we aim to understand how the internet generation deals with posthumous interaction in social networks, so as to guide the design of this kind of interaction, considering its specificities. As a contribution to the Human-Computer Interaction area, we expect this concept -- posthumous interaction -- to be better interpreted by researchers and software developers, in order to design solutions that meet the particular needs of this kind of interaction, as well as the socio-cultural framework behind it. | |||
| Wikimarks: an approach proposition for generating collaborative, structured content from social networking sharing on the web | | BIBA | Full-Text | 95-98 | |
| Carlos Rosemberg Maia de Carvalho; Elizabeth S. Furtado | |||
| Collaboration systems like wikis are seen as efficient tools for supporting structured content, but their success depends on many non-technical issues, like user participation. On the other hand, people are increasingly sharing content in social networks, although with no or little organization. In this scenario, we propose the Wikimark approach, a way for generating structured content by merging the wiki concept and the content sharing behavior seen in social networks. This paper presents the concept proposition and the related early-stage experiment, uxmarks.com. | |||
| Timelines as mediators of lifelong learning processes | | BIBA | Full-Text | 99-108 | |
| Heiko Hornung; M. Cecilia C. Baranauskas | |||
| In Web environments for collaborative problem solving or collaborative learning, the process of a collaborative activity can be as important as or even more important than the outcome of the activity. Furthermore, processes need to be flexible to enable free exploration and creativity. Many online systems fail to optimally support those activities, because they are document-centric, or provide not enough flexibility regarding processes and meaning negotiation. In this paper, we propose a timeline metaphor that enables flexible processes and permits users to see the current state of a process "at a glance", i.e. what already has been done and what are possible next steps. We describe how literature and participatory practices informed the design of a low-fidelity prototype. As a first result, we present and discuss the prototype that is contextualized to the domain of lifelong learning among special education teachers. | |||
| "Eu vi o que você fez... e eu sei quem você é!": uma análise sobre privacidade no Facebook do ponto de vista dos usuários | | BIBA | Full-Text | 109-118 | |
| Francine Bülow Bergmann; Milene Selbach Silveira | |||
| Social networking sites are powerful virtual technologies to bring people together and exchange information, enabling their users to post messages, videos and photos, make comments, "mark" people in publications and share with others, among other features. Networks like Facebook are growing in popularity in recent years, reaching 901 million monthly active users. However, as this network helps to make the world more open and connected, participants inevitably end up losing control over the extent that their personal information can reach among people who are or not part of their social connection. In this context, we conducted a survey to find out how people have considered the issue of privacy on these networks, and if they are aware or care about the risks that the exposure of information online can bring. This research was focused on Facebook, with the participation of 255 volunteers, and its results and considerations are discussed in this article. | |||
| SoS: um algoritmo para identificar pessoas homófilas em redes sociais com o uso da tradução cultural | | BIBA | Full-Text | 119-122 | |
| Jônatas Leite de Oliveira; Junia Coutinho Anacleto | |||
| Social networking sites have grown very recently, allowing the formation and maintenance of online communities. We believe online communities formed by homophile people tend to have more active members. Homophily refers to the degree of similarity between individuals regarding beliefs, socioeconomic status, education, personal preferences, and so on. We describe here a method to identify people who are potentially homophile, ie social networking users who share several common themes, to optimize the proposed method Sack-of-Semantics (SoS). The first version of the SoS method was developed considering existig recommender systems, coupled to cultural translation from OMCS-Br knowledgebase to identify people talking about the same subject in a social network considering their cultural contexts. So even if the express themselves differently, with terms of his own cultural context, they can be identified because, using cultural translation, it is possible to see that they talk about the same subject. This second version of the SoS considers not only a subject, but many subjects to do the search and recommendation among people, fostering networking homophile. | |||
| Desenvolvimento de sistemas para web com base nas metáforas em uso: estudo de caso para redes sociais | | BIBA | Full-Text | 123-126 | |
| Lafayette Batista Melo; Bruno Luís do Nascimento Costa; Dayvison Santos de Almeida | |||
| In this article, we describe how knowledge of metaphors in use by designers can influence the development of Web systems on social networks. A case study is done with an application and a Facebook page in the education area. We conclude that designers, in this research context, may have greater awareness of development, draw storyboards quickly and know exactly what requirements need to be further specified, after training on metaphors in use, for the development of better ways to support human-computer-human interaction. | |||
| Decisões de design de interfaces ruins e o impacto delas na interação: um estudo preliminar considerando o estado emocional de idosos | | BIBA | Full-Text | 127-136 | |
| Rogério Aparecido Campanari Xavier; Franco Eusébio Garcia; Vânia Paula de Almeida Neris | |||
| A influência das emoções do usuário durante o uso de um sistema interativo tem sido estudada pela área de Interação Humano-Computador (IHC). Modos de se considerar as emoções no design destes sistemas têm sido discutidos. A literatura, inclusive, apresenta formas de se avaliar a resposta emocional dos usuários. Mais do que a avaliação das emoções, a associação de emoções com decisões de design pode apoiar o trabalho dos designers de sistemas interativos. Este artigo apresenta uma proposta de associação de respostas emocionais humanas a elementos de interface. A proposta é pautada pela identificação de emoções por meio das 10 heurísticas de Lera e Domingo [11] e da Estrutura do Espaço Emocional Semântico de Scherer [19]. Um estudo de viabilidade da proposta foi realizado, consistindo na observação da interação de idosos com um website sobre culinária por meio de tablets. Os resultados permitem uma avaliação de como decisões de design podem afetar a interação -- por exemplo, como decisões ruins podem comprometer o domínio do usuário sobre a interação. | |||
| Basis and prospects of motivation informing design: requirements for situated eco-feedback technology | | BIBA | Full-Text | 137-146 | |
| Lara Schibelsky Godoy Piccolo; Maria Cecília Calani Baranauskas | |||
| Motivation is a determinant aspect of behavior, which may influence the interactive systems usage. As so, it must be considered especially when designing a technology that intends to influence user's behavior and attitudes. This paper aims at shedding light on concepts related to motivation taking the basis of Psychology theories, and making sense of them for the design of Residential Energy Feedback Systems (REFS) in a Brazilian scenario. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, which are culturally influenced, are taken into account, as a first step to suggest design requirements for REFS informed by motivational aspects. | |||
| Energy, environment, and conscious consumption: making connections through design | | BIBA | Full-Text | 147-150 | |
| Lara Schibelsky Godoy Piccolo; Maria Cecília Calani Baranauskas | |||
| While environmental scientists alert the society to the urgent need for a turning point in the way resources have been consumed globally, the current economic situation in Brazil favors opportunities to increase still more individual's consumption. This paper relies on the technology presence to inspire the conscious consumption. Instantiated in the design of Residential Energy Feedback Systems (REFS), the challenge to connect energy consumption and environmental impact in Brazil is discussed. Then, design ideas proposed by HCI students that aimed to motivate users towards a more sustainable behavior are presented and analyzed, pointing out directions to a locally contextualized and effective motivational design approach. | |||
| Documentation comes to life in computational thinking acquisition with agentsheets | | BIBA | Full-Text | 151-160 | |
| Marcelle Pereira Mota; Leonardo Serra Faria; Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza | |||
| This paper is about the use of live documentation in Computational Thinking Acquisition (CTA) programs with AgentSheets. AgentSheets is a visual programming environment to build games. Based on previous studies showing that semiotic relations among visual game elements could be further explored to the benefit of the learners, we designed PoliFacets, a Web extension to AgentSheets cast as a live conversational document. With it, teachers and learners can follow different threads of conversation about (multiple representations of) game elements and relations between them. We present a qualitative evaluation study of PoliFacets with two experienced AgentSheets instructors and three school teachers trained to coach students in CTA programs. Findings show that although our system has not yet completely fulfilled our design intent, it has led participants to gain relevant insights about their teaching and learning, as well as to articulating doubts and misunderstandings that otherwise could have gone unnoticed. | |||

| This paper reports the experience of DEMULTS Project, which seeks the relationship between education, inclusion and technology. Thus, we aim to apply the methodology of software development in school settings, with end users as part of the whole process and acquiring know-how operational development of systems that will use -- educational games of Biology and History. The aim of this paper is to present techniques, lessons and achieved results about the relationship between technology, education and learning the concepts of biology and history, beyond participatory approach. | |||
| Definindo uma abordagem para inspeção de usabilidade em modelos de projeto por meio de experimentação | | BIBA | Full-Text | 165-174 | |
| Natasha M. Costa Valentim; Káthia Marçal de Oliveira; Tayana Conte | |||
| Inspections in the early stages of development helps to reveal problems that can be corrected at a lower cost. With this belief we decide to define a set of reading techniques specific for usability inspection in design models, called MIT (Model Inspection Technique for Usability Evaluation). To that end, we perform several experimentations that are used not only to evaluate the proposed techniques but also to better define the inspections procedures in a way that they can be really useful and ease of use. This paper presents the first cycle of definition and experimentation of MIT discussing the results and the refinement of the initial set of techniques. | |||
| Integração de engenharia de usabilidade em um modelo de capacidade/maturidade de processo de software | | BIBA | Full-Text | 175-184 | |
| Rodrigo Becker Rabello; Rodrigo Araujo Barbalho; Juliane Vargas Nunes; Christiane Gresse Von Wangenheim | |||
| Especialmente no atual cenário de convergência/divergência digital, a inserção da Engenharia de Usabilidade no processo de software pode qualificar o projeto de interface, aumentando os ganhos, diminuindo o suporte, ampliando a competitividade e potencializando a satisfação e a produtividade dos usuários. Contudo, os principais modelos de maturidade/capacidade de processo de software (MMCPSs) não integram processos de usabilidade. Assim, este estudo propôs uma extensão para um MMCPS que integra processos de Engenharia de Usabilidade. Tal extensão foi construída a partir de uma revisão do estado de arte sobre os principais MMCPSs, analisando e comparando-os, a fim de identificar processos ligados à engenharia de usabilidade neles incluídos. Depois de elaborada, a extensão foi avaliada por meio de um painel de especialistas. Assim, espera-se contribuir com as organizações que desejam avaliar e melhorar seus processos de software e de usabilidade, servindo como um guia de melhores práticas. | |||
| Can the teaching of HCI contribute for the learning of computer science the case of semiotic engineering methods | | BIBA | Full-Text | 185-194 | |
| Silvia Amélia Bim; Carla Faria Leitão; Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza | |||
| This paper presents the results of an in-depth qualitative study carried out to investigate the teaching and learning of Semiotic Engineering methods, namely the Semiotic Inspection and the Communicability Evaluation methods. We identified three kinds of abilities that are necessary for a better learning and application of these methods: systematic interpretation, abstraction and wide perspective. We have also identified the relation among these three abilities. In the triangulation step of the research we found that these abilities are also recurrently invoked as necessary to the learning of other Computer Science subjects such as programming, induction, and object-oriented design and development. In conclusion, we suggest that strategies used to teach Semiotic Engineering methods can explicitly explore the connections with other contents in the Computer Science curriculum and thus begin to reap mutual benefits. | |||

| IHC em contexto: o que as palavras relevam sobre ela | | BIBA | Full-Text | 199-208 | |
| Samuel Bastos Buchdid; M. Cecília C. Baranauskas | |||
| The information and communication technology is more and more present in our lives. Considerations about daily, emotional and contextual issues have been necessary for HCI professionals to develop a design thinking suitable for the contemporary devices and increasingly diversified audience. Based on analysis of the full program of three major conferences in the area of HCI, this work intends to identify the main focuses of the contributions. Results of analysis based on tagclouds are presented and discussed, revealing the gap between what has been discussed and the trends indicated by research references in the area. | |||
| A conceptual model for HCI design cases | | BIBA | Full-Text | 209-218 | |
| Bruno Santana da Silva; Simone Diniz Junqueira Barbosa | |||
| Designers often use previous knowledge during design activities. Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems have been used to help designers deal with a large repertoire of past design cases in many domains, like architecture and software. However, we still have little work that addresses Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design in CBR systems. In general, they focus on specific HCI design artifacts, considering just a few aspects of HCI solutions. In this paper, we review related works to propose an enlarged conceptual model for HCI design cases in CBR systems. The model is flexible and extensible to accommodate different design artifacts, supporting different design processes and cultures. We have evaluated our conceptual model with a qualitative research, in which participants were asked to index and retrieve cases during an HCI design activity, referring to characteristics of context of use, domain, user, user goal, interaction, user interface, and system. The results indicate that CBR systems for HCI design should consider a wide view of the HCI problem and solution spaces, and the proposed conceptual model has great potential to support designers in dealing with a large repertoire of HCI design cases in CBR systems. | |||
| The representation of self in mediated interaction with computers | | BIBA | Full-Text | 219-228 | |
| Ingrid Teixeira Monteiro; Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza | |||
| According to the computers as media perspective, all kinds of software, whether created by expert programmers or end users, carry an implicit or explicit representation of their creators. This paper discusses the representation of the user's self in a study with the Web Navigation Helper (WNH), a user agent designed to support Web navigation through mediation dialogs. In our study, school teachers built mediation dialogs to orient their students while navigating proposed Websites. Our findings show how this specific kind of mediation technology communicated (intentional or unintentional) self-representation and supported self-expression. They also provide insights into how similar mediation technologies can be used in the broader context of computer-supported social participation. | |||
| Helping designers in making choices through games | | BIBA | Full-Text | 229-238 | |
| Roberto Romani; Cecília Baranauskas | |||
| As web usage grows and diversifies, design of interfaces for all becomes a big challenge. This work proposes an approach that enables to involve an unlimited number of users in the design process in a playful way. It benefits from resources offered by the Web as well as from the interest of people for playing games in the Internet. The central idea is the use of GWAPs (Games with a Purpose) to support the designer in choices of design elements, informed by a massive number of players. This paper presents an environment, named Games With Interaction Design Objective (GWIDO), and discuss preliminary evaluation with one of the games in the environment. Results suggest this approach may represent a promising effort towards more inclusive design choices to computer systems user interface in the web. | |||
| Interfaces cérebro-computador de sistemas interativos: estado da arte e desafios de IHC | | BIBA | Full-Text | 239-248 | |
| Alessandro L. Stamatto Ferreira; Leonardo Cunha de Miranda; Erica Esteves Cunha de Miranda | |||
| In Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) the user is able to interact with a computer only via biological signals of your brain without the need to use muscles. This is an research field on the rise but still immature relatively. However, it is important to think now about the different aspects of the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) field related to BCIs, which should be part of interactive systems in the near future. As contributions of this work we highlight the prospecting of state of the art of BCIs and identification of HCI challenges on this subject matter. | |||
| Prototipação de interfaces tangíveis de produtos interativos: estado da arte e desafios da plataforma arduino | | BIBA | Full-Text | 249-258 | |
| Gabriel Alves Vasiljevic Mendes; Leonardo Cunha de Miranda; Erica Esteves Cunha de Miranda; Lyrene Fernandes da Silva | |||
| One kind of user interface that appeared in the literature of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in the mid-1990s is called Tangible User Interface (TUI). TUIs are interfaces that take advantage of multiple human senses and capabilities guided by an interaction based on touch and sight, as the users use these senses to use tangible interactive products. Designing and developing tangible interfaces of interactive products is not a trivial work and, therefore, the prototyping TUIs can facilitate the process through final production of the tangible interactive products. As contributions of this work we highlight the identification of the state of the art of solutions to design/development support of TUIs prototype, and identification of HCI challenges related to use of Arduino -- a free electronic prototyping platform -- such as technological basis for TUIs prototyping. | |||
| A real-time system to recognize static gestures of Brazilian sign language (libras) alphabet using Kinect | | BIBA | Full-Text | 259-268 | |
| Mauro dos Santos Anjo; Ednaldo Brigante Pizzolato; Sebastian Feuerstack | |||
| In this paper we present a system -- called Gesture User Interface (GestureUI) -- to recognize static gestures of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) in real-time out of a continuous video stream using the depth information captured by a Kinect controller. We focus on handling small sets of gestures (A, E, I, O, U) and (B, C, F, L, V), processing them in two steps: Segmentation and Classification. For the Segmentation we propose a Virtual Wall and Libras-specific heuristics to improve the hand tracking. For the classification we use a Multi-Layer Perceptron trained by the system and present an arm cutting algorithm that improved the recognition rate from 67.4% and 75.4% to 100% for both gesture sets. Finally, we evaluated the processing performance of the overall system and proof that it is able to process frames at 62.5Hz with an Intel i7 processor, which is more than twice as fast as the Kinect frame capturing rate. | |||
| Evaluation of the users' behavior as they navigate in a 3D environment collaboratively using large displays | | BIBA | Full-Text | 269-276 | |
| Tathiane Mendonça Andrade; Simone Diniz Junqueira Barbosa | |||
| A large amount of information has been generated and manipulated in an increasing scale in recent years. One solution for viewing so much information was provided by large displays. However, with the increase of the screens came problems in the user-system interaction, where designers usually consider only the increase in screen space in such devices instead of changes in the user behavior interacting with each device. This paper investigates the interaction of users using different types of large displays while performing tasks in a 3D navigation system. In particular, we have focused on the user behavior when discussing with another participant while actively interacting with a tabletop computer or passively watching a wall display co-located in the same office space. This paper aims to show that the interaction with large displays can bring benefits to users, both for the use of 3D systems as for collaborative work. | |||
| Método de avaliação de comunicabilidade para sistemas colaborativos: um estudo de caso | | BIBA | Full-Text | 277-286 | |
| Maria Lúcia Bento Villela; Simone Xavier; Raquel Oliveira Prates | |||
| Os sistemas colaborativos (SiCo's) estão sendo cada vez mais utilizados para atender as necessidades das pessoas comunicarem entre si, além de trabalharem em conjunto e à distância. No entanto, ainda existem poucos métodos consolidados para a avaliação de tais sistemas. Tendo em vista que, para que um método possa ser consolidado, é importante que o mesmo seja aplicado em contextos distintos, o presente trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso de aplicação de um método recente de avaliação de SiCo's, o Método de Avaliação de Comunicabilidade para Sistemas Colaborativos (MAC-g), em um tipo específico de SiCo, as Redes Virtuais de Colaboração Científica. Os resultados obtidos contribuem para a consolidação do método, tendo permitido a identificação de vantagens e de pontos que precisam ser revistos em sua definição. | |||

| Although the development and use of collaborative systems has increased lately, evaluate them is not a simple task. Most of the HCI evaluation methods that are consolidated are aimed at single-user systems and require adaptation in order to be applied to collaborative systems. The goal of this paper is to present an initial characterization of the adaptations that have been proposed in order to allow single-user evaluation methods to be applied to different collaborative systems and contexts. | |||
| Gamers as usability evaluators: a study in the domain of virtual worlds | | BIBA | Full-Text | 301-304 | |
| Thiago S. Barcelos; Roberto Muñoz; Virgínia Chalegre | |||
| Virtual Worlds (VW) are interactive systems which aim to provide an immersive environment where users can interact with each other and with virtual objects. Hence, a set of quality criteria to be used for the usability evaluation of Virtual Worlds must consider these particular characteristics. Moreover, considering the complexity of the interactive environment of Virtual Worlds and its resemblance to digital games, the previous experience of evaluators may influence the evaluation outcome. In this paper we present an experimental evaluation which compares the results of a heuristic evaluation of a VW environment performed by usability experts and skilled digital game users (gamers) with initial training in the evaluation technique. The results show that while usability experts tend to focus on issues related to the Virtual World configuration interface, gamers identify more problems related to the interaction with the Virtual World itself. | |||

| In the last decade, the HCI community has incorporated new perspectives in its studies regarding the elements necessary for mobile applications that satisfy their users. Due to the dynamicity of the mobile applications scenario, it is not easy to evaluate the user experience contemplating contextual aspects and usability together. Most attempts are simulations on controlled experiments, which do not consider contextual variations that occur in the real world scenario. Thus, this work presents the analysis of results found on an experiment conducted with 21 users of three mobile applications during six months to evaluate the user experience with applications on mobile devices. The experiment was a field research conducted with real users performing activities on their daily environments. To do so, we used an infrastructure designed to automatically capture quantitative, subjective, contextual data and user profiles regarding users' interactions with the mobile applications. | |||

| With the increasing popularity of mobile devices, especially smartphones and tablets, is necessary to pay attention to how applications for these devices are being developed. In Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) viewpoint, what is being done to reduce the accessibility barriers and usability problems? The prototyping of application interfaces for mobile devices is an alternative to try to minimize such problems.

| The potential of digital TV demonstrates that it could be an excellent connection between map information suppliers and citizen, users of such information. Its scope, when fully adopted in Brazil in 2015, will reach many areas of the country, being accessible to about 96% of the population. Nevertheless, the Brazilian digital television standard and user population profile imposes restrictions on map access on TV screen, which leads to the challenge of this work. This article describes the analisys of three final prototypes of application using maps on TVD, and the development of an interaction model that supports interaction via remote control, based on four perspectives: concepts, navigation, presentation and structuring. The results show the generality of the interaction model, as well as the advantages and limitations of our solutions interact via remote control. | |||
| Sobre aspectos da interação humano-computador para a web social | | BIBA | Full-Text | 1-2 | |

| A Web Social representa um novo paradigma no qual a Web deixou de ser um ambiente que interliga páginas e documentos para se tornar um ambiente que conecta pessoas, organizações e conceitos. Nesse contexto, a Web Social desempenha um papel central ao possibilitar que diversas pessoas interajam de formas e em escalas inéditas por meio de diferentes aplicações, construídas com diversas plataformas e embutidas em diferentes dispositivos. Atualmente, tablets, smartphones e outros dispositivos móveis, com seus recursos avançados -- tais como sensores, câmera, e interfaces de comunicação --, permitem o acesso e disseminação de informações de forma instantânea e contínua, possibilitando que a interação entre usuários aconteça ubiquamente, em situações e lugares onde antes não era possível. Informações sobre eventos específicos e momentâneos, que não seriam úteis depois de transcorrido um maior intervalo de tempo, passam a ser de suma importância quando compartilhadas em tempo real. Novas aplicações surgem a partir da possibilidade de registrar e compartilhar instantaneamente textos, imagens, sons, dados de localização e outras informações de interesse imediato. Entretanto, o uso de dispositivos móveis impõe desafios adicionais no que tange a questões relacionadas a adaptação de conteúdo para diferentes dispositivos, integração com aplicações tradicionais, interação entre usuários em movimento e o gerenciamento de informações de contexto dos usuários de forma a garantir a privacidade e segurança no compartilhamento ubíquo de dados. Desta forma, o foco da 4a edição do Workshop sobre Aspectos da Interação Humano-Computador para a Web Social (WAIHCWS'12) recai sobre o tema "Mobilidade e ubiquidade na Web Social -- desafios e oportunidades". | |||

| In this paper, we present the design process of a system to support agrometeorologists to improve a tiresome task of extracting data to generate time series from multiple satellite images. To understand the difficulty of dealing with thousands of images, one researcher in HCI has worked in a team of agrometeorologists for over 6 months. This case study describes the experience of this researcher using a manual and semi-automatic method developed by agrometeorologists. Moreover, we highlight the difficulties faced by specialists trying to learn how to develop scripts in order to make their tasks easier. Finally, we report the involvement of these experts in the design process of a new system that led to a more successful approach to deal with the challenge of handling enormous amount of satellite images. | |||

| O Mercado cada vez mais exige das empresas uma melhor experiência do usuário, que se reflete, dentre outros fatores, em softwares, sites, aplicativos com interface e interação fáceis e cativantes. Entretanto o mercado de desenvolvimento de software brasileiro passou muito tempo focando em outros fatores, também relevantes, mas imperceptíveis para esse público. Em contrapartida, agências de publicidade e marketing também passaram por uma mudança considerável em suas estratégias e serviços com o crescente uso e popularização da internet, redes sociais e dispositivos móveis. São dois mercados que foram igualmente impactados por essas mudanças e que têm muito a ensinar um ao outro. Neste case tratamos o que mudou em uma empresa de desenvolvimento de software para se adequar à essa nova realidade e receber no seu dia-a-dia essa massa de trabalho criativa, contando os desafios, fracasso e sucessos do processo de interação entre esses grupos. | |||

| Mobile phones have been the fastest growing segment of the technology market increasing the importance of interface design for this type of device. Yet, as many of the assumptions about user interactions that we know from "traditional" computer usage do not hold true for mobile devices, a key question is, if there exist specific usability heuristics for this type of device. To answer this question, we conduct a systematic literature review on usability heuristics for mobile (touch) phones and compare and map the identified heuristics. We also develop a checklist for heuristic evaluations based on the unified set of heuristics. The results are expected to contribute to the improvement of usability of cell phone applications considering their specific characteristics and limitations. | |||

| Ricardo Kramer de Oliveira Barros; Giuliano Araujo Bertoti | |||
| The current data overload makes it difficult to create journalistic texts. The large amount of data complicates the interpretation and its subsequent conversion into useful information due to the great effort required to understand it. The development of systems that simplify the data interpretation helps the authors to construct clearer and more objective stories, disseminating information and thus reaching a wider audience, enriching the debates regarding public issues. This paper aims to introduce to the reader a new concept of journalism, the data journalism, showing the importance on employing new information visualization tools in this model. | |||
| O papel da interação centrada ao usuário para suporte à colaboração em uma unidade de emergência médica | | BIBA | Full-Text | 43-44 | |
| Rodrigo Andrade; Adriana Vivacqua; Ana Cristina Bicharra Garcia | |||
| One of the challenges in medical emergency units is the efficient management of information and communication. When compared to other medical departments, the emergency department is one of the environments with greater information load. The increase in the amount of patients, lack of physical infrastructure to allocate patients, fewer physicians, increased complexity of patient treatment, extreme conditions, require of health agents a quick and efficient assimilation steady flow of information from the environment. This paper discusses the need for developing applications that are focused in the needs of health care providers on a domain of medical emergency, in order to support agents in patient care allowing optimization of the time spent in treatment and providing more information when discussing the clinical case and other forms of treatments. | |||

| Algoritmos de clusterização e python científico apoiando modelagem de usuário | | BIBA | Full-Text | 47-50 | |
| Andrey Araujo Masiero; Leonardo A. Ferreira; Plinio Thomaz, Jr. Aquino | |||
| Python is a interactive, interpreted, object oriented, multi-plataform programming language with libraries that aid the studies in Human-Computer Interaction throughout the use of machine learning algorithms, that assists in the construction of the Personas user type. These might help the developer during the interface development and may also enhance the ones that are currently in use. The moment that this technique may apply depends on how the information is acquired -- with surveys or system's log. This paper presents an way to capture this information and transform this data, making possible to use clustering algorithms to group the collected profiles, enabling the automatization of the process in order to use in adaptive interfaces. Lastly, techniques grounded in statistics methods of spreadness measurements used to define a Personas and Python tools to graphically present the data, allowing an analytical comparison, will be demonstrated. | |||

| During the development of a scientific research in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) it is needful to identify, read, analyze and interpret relevant publications about a given theme or subject. Such a task usually results in large sets of bibliographical data. As a consequence, they must be put together in a single document, with the aim of making easy to assess the strength of the evidence of interest. Nonetheless, this is not an easy task to accomplish. Systematic reviews (SR) come to fulfill this need, by providing comprehensive, reliable, and unbiased summaries of a research on a single topic. Additionally, SR bring together large numbers of individual studies in a single report, provides the best evidence for decision making, and also help determine future research needs. | |||
| Projetando sistemas web com o uso de técnicas de interação humano-computador | | BIBA | Full-Text | 55-58 | |
| Patricia Cristiane de Souza; Cristiano Maciel; Luciana A. O. de Moraes | |||
| It is fundamental to improve software development processes towards Web Engineering, which must consider, for example, the possibility of different types of users dealing with an application, as this would impact on the way people interact in the systems. [7] propose an agile framework, employing different methods for designing a web application (WebApp), which are represented in a pyramidal structure whose levels depict project actions. However, these actions are not integrated in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) activities. Thus, this tutorial aims to enable participants to integrate HCI practices and Web Engineering methods by means of theoretical and practical strategies. | |||

| Social networks have presented an exponential growth in the number of users in recent years. This growth has increased the concern about data protection and personal privacy of users. Facebook, in particular, is a social network of researchers' interest by having a large number of users worldwide. In this study, we applied a set of 08 methods and assessment tools empirical and analytical for evaluating aspects of privacy from the perspective of usability, accessibility and emotional responses of users. The results of applying these methods and instruments provided evidence that users face problems of usability and accessibility in performing tasks related to privacy on Facebook, which produces a direct impact on the emotional responses of the interaction. | |||
