About the Journal
ISSN: 2236-3297
The SBC Journal on Interactive Systems (JIS) is a publication of the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC), maintained and supported by three special interest groups: Human-Computer Interaction, Virtual Reality, and Games. The journal is inherently interdisciplinary, and its main goals include:
- To disseminate original scientific works on (and across) the areas of human-computer interaction, virtual reality, augmented reality, games, and entertainment computing.
- To introduce scientific projects under development by research groups focused on contributing to the state-of-the-art of the related themes
- To openly disseminate high-quality research results for a broad audience
Authors are invited to submit original contributions – written in English – presenting experimental or theoretical results, case studies, surveys, as well as new ideas and applications with advances in a broad spectrum of technical areas. Topics include but are not limited to:
