Call for Submissions


MexIHC is Mexico's premier forum for researchers and practitioners to present advances in human computer interaction. MexIHC 2014 is the fifth Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, organized by the Mexican ACM SIGCHI chapter (CHI-México) in a biennial format alternating with the Latin American Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (CLIHC). MexIHC aims to be a forum of networking and ideas exchange among students and researchers, faculty and practitioners, institutions and interest groups, in the field of Human-Computer Interaction and Interactive Systems Usability, in order to support an exchange of scientific results, and their applications in industry.

MexIHC 2014 will be held at NovaUniversitas in Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca; while social and cultural events will be held in the city of Oaxaca. The conference will provide transportation between Ocotlán Morelos and the city of Oaxaca.

Papers will be blind peer-reviewed by members of the MexIHC 2014 program committee (TBC). Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness, and presentation.

TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS
====================
Full papers (Up to 8 pages): Full papers should describe original work that have not previously been published and provide significant results of scientific research. Presentation time for full papers will be 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. The papers with this format should be written in ONLY English.

Short Papers or Notes (Up to 4 pages): Short papers should describe innovative work in progress, without significant results yet, that contribute to well-founded research. Presentation time for short papers will be 10 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. The papers with this format could be written in English or Spanish.

Poster / Prototype (Up to 2 pages): Posters or prototypes must present work in progress or consist of a demonstration of a technical tool. These contributions will be exhibited in a poster session during the conference where there are presentations and demonstrations to all the community. Posters could be written in English or Spanish.

Graduate Colloquium (Up to 2 pages): The Graduate Colloquium is a forum in which master and Ph.D. students will discuss their work with each other and with experts in their area. Students will present and discuss their thesis and will receive feedback from experts in the area to help them with their research plans. These papers are assigned a 2-page limit in the conference proceedings and first author must be a master or a PhD Student. Master or PhD students will give a short presentation (10 minutes) about their work. After each presentation, group discussion will take place. The papers with this format could be written in English or Spanish.
