Call for Participation: Papers & Notes

ACM  International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with

Mobile Devices and Services 2015 (MobileHCI)

Copenhagen, Denmark, August 24-27 2015

http://mobilehci.acm.org/

*About Mobile HCI 2015*

MobileHCI 2015 is the premier forum for innovations in mobile,

portable and personal devices and with the services to which they

enable access. There are a number of ways for you to participate in

MobileHCI 2015, either by making a submission or simply attending.

MobileHCI brings together people from diverse areas which provides a

multidisciplinary forum for academics, hardware and software

developers, designers and practitioners to discuss the challenges and

potential solutions for effective interaction with and through mobile

devices, applications, and services. MobileHCI maintains a small

number of tracks along with a wide range of other program aspects to

encourage the exchange of research results, ideas and future research

endeavours.

*Important Dates*

Paper Submission Deadline: February 6th 2015, 5pm PST

Paper Notification: April 20th 2015

Camera-Ready Submission: May 22nd 2015, 5pm PDT

*Suggested Topics*

MobileHCI seeks contributions in the form of innovations, insights, or

analyses related to human experiences with mobility. Our

interpretation of mobility is inclusive and broadly construed.

Likewise, our view of contribution encompasses technology, experience,

methodology, and theory--or any mix thereof, and beyond. We seek

richness and diversity in topic as well as approach, method, and

viewpoint. If you can make a convincing case that you have something

important to say about mobility, in all its many forms, we want to see

your work. In no particular order, this includes contributions in the

form of:

- Systems & infrastructures. The design, architecture, deployment, and

evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support development of

or interaction with mobile devices and services.

- Devices & techniques. The design, construction, usage, and

evaluation of devices and techniques that create valuable new

capabilities for mobile human-computer interaction.

- Applications & experiences. Descriptions of the design, empirical

study of interactive applications, or analysis of usage trends that

leverage mobile devices and systems.

- Methodologies & tools. New methods and tools designed for or applied

to studying or building mobile user interfaces, applications, and

mobile users.

- Theories & models. Critical analysis or organizing theory with

clearly motivated relevance to the design or study of mobile

human-computer interaction; taxonomies of design or devices;

well-supported essays on emerging trends and practice in mobile

human-computer interaction.

- Visions & wildcards. Well-argued and well-supported visions of the

future of mobile computing; non-traditional topics that bear on

mobility; under-represented viewpoints and perspectives that

convincingly bring something new to mobile research and practice.

Surprise us with something new and compelling.

*Submissions*

Authors of papers presenting systems and/or interaction techniques are

required to demonstrate their work at the conference - provided that a

demonstration is feasible. The program committee will decide upon

which paper should also include a demonstration. All papers should be

submitted electronically to: link

Paper Length

Papers are of variable length. Paper length must be based on the

weight of the contribution. A new idea presented in a compact format

is more likely to be accepted than the same idea in a long format.

Exceptionally long papers (more than 10 pages) need to include very

strong contributions to warrant acceptance. Shorter, more focused

papers (called Notes in years prior to 2015) are highly encouraged.

Papers with length disproportionate to their contribution will be

rejected, for example, user studies that are not integral to the paper

contribution and deemed unnecessary by the reviewers would more likely

lead to paper rejection than acceptance. In exceptional cases the

authors will be requested to shorten papers in the camera ready.

*Format*

All paper submissions must be made in the SIGCHI papers format.

*Program Chairs*

Hans Gellersen (Lancaster University, UK)

Ken Hinckley (Microsoft Research, USA)

*A Message from the Chairs*

If you write a good paper--present clear, well-argued and well-cited

ideas that are backed up with some form of compelling evidence

(proof-of-concept implementations, system demonstrations, data

analysis, user studies, or whatever methodology suits the contribution

you are trying to make)--then we want to see your work, and if we agree

it is good, we will accept it.

We are not particularly picky about page lengths or the structure of

papers. Use the number of pages you need to convey a contribution, no

more, no less.

Reviewers traditionally expect about 4pp for shorter contributions,

and about 10pp for long-form contributions, but these are simply

guideposts of what contributors most commonly submit. If you have a

great 10 page paper with an intriguing set of ideas and the references

spill over onto page 12, we are happy with that. If you can convey a

solid idea in 8 pages, that is fine too. A four-pager with a clearly

articulated nugget of contribution is always welcome.

Finally, keep the "Wow!" test in mind: We are always happy to consider

thought-provoking work that might not be perfect but clearly does

inject new ideas into the discourse on mobile interaction, what it is

now, what it could be in the future. We would rather have 10

thought-provoking papers that break new ground in their own unique

ways, than that one perfect paper that is dull and unassailable. Send

us your work. If it makes us go "Wow!" we want it. By the same token

there is nothing wrong with solid work that advances the state of the

art. We are excited to expand the many frontiers of mobility and we

need your contributions to help us get there.

*Finally*
