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.","PeriodicalId":345266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125107506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the number of professional support (e.g. caregivers) to people with dementia is not growing proportionally. One of the possible ways to ease the overburden of these professionals is to use technological tools. In this scenario, the goal of this paper is to identify the real needs of these users, and propose an application called Day2Day who could understand such needs. A questionnaire was applied to 17 professionals who evaluated the tool and the use of information visualization techniques in this context. Further the results indicate that the information visualization techniques enable the development of more intuitive interfaces, enabling the collection of data more quickly.","PeriodicalId":345266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131557442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communicability defines whether a system can make the user understands what the designer wanted to communicate when building a system. In this work, we evaluated the communicability in systems built by end users. For this evaluation, we used two methods: the Semiotic Inspection Method (SIM) and the Communicability Evaluation Method (CEM). Through these methods, we evaluated systems built by volunteers in a tool called SideTalk, which helps people with little or no programming knowledge to create conversations. We also evaluated the visualization of these conversations by other volunteers. We found a series of breakdowns in communication, either from the conversations or from the system itself. The main contribution of this paper is to present an innovative research in the area EUD which uses two methods of semiotics engineering, SIM and CEM, to evaluate the communicability of non-professional systems.","PeriodicalId":345266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131231776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the growth in the development of open-source home automation applications based on Internet of Things (IoT) controlled by mobile devices presents numerous opportunities to boost the development of such aids. However, there is little research into how accessible the interfaces of such mobile applications are to people with visual disabilities. This paper presents an evaluation of six open-source mobile systems for home automation using IoT - Domoticz, Freedomotic, Home Assistant, HomeGenie, Mister House and openHAB. The evaluation was performed by means of expert review of accessibility guidelines using smartphones. The results showed that all the applications evaluated had accessibility problems that could prevent visually disabled users from using them, such as inaccessible controls, vision-dependent features, and lack of textual descriptions of images. The paper points out important adjustments that need to be carried out in order for IoT-based smart home applications to fully accomplish their potential of helping visually-disabled users lead more independent lives at home.","PeriodicalId":345266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124772073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that many of the applications were not in accordance with accessibility guidelines, with an average of 57 instances of violations and an average of 11.6 different criteria violated per application. The main problems included issues like not addressing labelling of non-textual content, headings, identifying user location, colour contrast, enabling users to interact using screen reader gestures, focus visibility and lack of adaptation of text contained in image.
