Research trends in HCI in Brazil

Abstract

In 2012 the research seniors of the Brazilian HCI community compiled the document "GRANDIHC-Br -- Great Research Challenges in Human-Computer Interaction in Brazil", highlighting what the local HCI community recognizes as the areas Brazilians researchers should explore. GRANDIHC-Br presents five major research challenges for the period of 2012 to 2022. Aiming to verify how the local HCI community have been embracing such challenges, we present a statistical analysis considering the challenges, the annual Brazilian HCI Symposium topics of interest, and the keywords on the accepted papers from 2013 until 2015. The results show that there is still a feeble connection between the challenges and the Brazilian HCI research topics. From our analysis we point out the need for an update on the topics of interest for the HCI national Symposium, we believe as necessary to stimuli the Brazilian HCI community to face such challenges for the current decade.
