Call for Papers for the 4th International Workshop on
Mobile Interaction with the Real World (MIRW 2009)
A Workshop of the MobileHCI 2009 Conference - September 15, 2009
******************************************************************
Workshop at MobileHCI 2008 (September 15-18 2008)
Bonn, Germany
Theme
-----
The 4th workshop on Mobile Interaction with the Real World invites
papers which focus on new mobile and wearable input and output
interfaces which allow simpler and straightforward interactions with
mobile services and applications. An inherit problem of current mobile
devices are their limited output and input capabilities. This workshop
continues a successful series of workshops that focus on new approaches
to overcome these issues. Examples are the usage of external visual
interfaces (e.g. projector phones, public displays, interactive
surfaces) and additional input capabilities (e.g. gestures, on-body
interfaces, pointing) and innovative feedback mechanisms (e.g. tactile
feedback). The workshop combines technical presentations with the
presentation of prototypes and focused discussions to drive interaction
between participants.
Topics
-------
Topics of the workshop are applications, interaction techniques,
frameworks, and user studies in the area of mobile interaction with the
real world. Possible research themes include (but are not limited to):
* Extending the user interface beyond the mobile device
* Mobile interaction with real world objects and smart objects
* Wearable computing and wearable input devices
* Multimodal interaction techniques using mobile phones
* Augmented and mixed reality on mobile devices
* Interaction techniques using external displays, projector phones or
floor displays
* Using mobile device's sensors for pervasive applications
* Novel interfaces for conveying spatial information
* Pervasive interaction metaphors
* Guidelines and standards for mobile interactions with the real world
* Interaction techniques using multiple mobile devices
* Support of knowledge processes and collaboration through mobile and
wearable technologies
Important Dates
---------------
* Monday May 4, 2009 - Submission Deadline
* Friday May 18, 2009 - Acceptance Notification
* Tuesday June 23, 2009 - Revised Manuscript Due
* Tuesday September 15, 2009 - Workshop Date
Organizers
----------
Andreas Zimmermann, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany
Niels Henze, OFFIS, Germany
Xavier Righetti, Ecole Polytechniques Fédérales de Lausanne (EPFL),
Switzerland
Enrico Rukzio, Lancaster University, United Kingdom
Goals
-----
The main goal of the workshop is to develop an understanding of how
mobile devices can be used to interact with the real world. We seek for
new ideas, prototypes, and insights as basis to develop a deeper
understanding of the field. We will provide a forum to share
information, results, and ideas on current research in this area. This
workshop encourages discussion about future topics concerning mobile
interaction with the real world. Furthermore we aim to develop new ideas
on how mobile devices can be exploited for new forms of interaction with
the environment. We will bring together researchers and practitioners
who are concerned with design, development, and implementation of new
applications and services using personal mobile devices as user interfaces.
Workshop Format
---------------
The workshop will feature presentations of research results, ongoing
work, ideas, concepts, and critical questions related to the use of
mobile and wearable devices as user interfaces in the real world. Every
presentation will be followed by a corresponding discussion. We invite
the presenters to show their demonstrators in a dedicated demo session.
Results of the workshop and future research will be discussed in a
panel-like style.
Participation & Process
-----------------------
The number of participants will be limited to 25 people. Prospective
authors are invited to submit their contribution, in PDF format conform
to the ACM Mobile HCI 2009 proceedings template electronically via the
workshop's website (http://mirw09.offis.de) no later than May 4, 2009.
Papers must be anonymized and no more than 4 pages long. Every submitted
paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.
Publication
-----------
The proceedings of MIRW 2009 will be published by the University of
Oldenburg as a book with an ISBN which will be provide to the
participants of the workshop. The workshops proceedings will also be
made available electronically. Depending on the quality of the papers,
we plan to publish extended versions of selected papers in a special
journal issue such as the International Journal of Mobile Human Computer
Interaction (IJMHCI) or Personal and Ubiquitous Computing.
