Daniela Lopez de Luise As part of the “Digital Technologies and Intelligent Systems Week,” we are pleased to announce the 12th Ibero-American Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (12JIHC'26), promoted by the HCI-COLLAB Collaborative Network.
We extend a cordial invitation to participate in this event and submit your papers under our main central theme:
“Contextual Adaptability: The User at the Core of Interactive and Intelligent Software”
In the current convergence of software and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the user's context has become a crucial variable in experience design. Functional interfaces are no longer enough; today, we require software capable of perceiving, interpreting, and adapting to the environment, cognitive state, and situational preferences of individuals.
12JIHC'26 will provide a forum to explore how AI allows us to capture and process this contextual richness to create hyper-personalized systems that not only react to commands but also anticipate user intentions, ensuring accurate and ethical responses.
Areas of Interest (include, but are not limited to):
- Legal, social, cultural, and ethical aspects of HCI
- Industry 4.0 and HCI
- Accessibility, usability, and sustainability
- Smart cities and environments
- Affective computing and emotional aspects in HCI
- Ubiquitous computing and mobile devices
- HCI design and evaluation
- Education, Computational Thinking, and HCI
- Software Engineering and HCI
- Entertainment and video games / Ergonomics in HCI
- Gender and minorities
- Main challenges of HCI research in Ibero-America
- HCI, health, and well-being
