The JIPS journal was created in 2008 by the Francophone Association for Human-Computer Interaction (AFIHM). The JIPS journal is a successor to the Review of Human-Machine Interaction (RIHM) that was founded in 1997 and active until 2007, when it became the Journal of Human Mediated Interactions. RIHM was chaired successively by Jean Caelen & Khaldoun Zreik, followed by Bertrand David & Christophe Kolski. From 2008 to 2012, JIPS was chaired by Jean-Daniel Fekete, Pierre Dragicevic and Nicolas Roussel
