Important deadlines

Conference information

Mobile HCI provides a forum for academics and practitioners to discuss the challenges and potential solutions for effective interaction with mobile systems. It covers the design, evaluation and application of HCI techniques and approaches for all mobile computing devices and services.

MOBILE HCI started as an international workshop (held in Glasgow in 1998, in Edinburgh at INTERACT 99, in Lille at IHM-HCI-2001). Due to its continuous growth, it successfully became a full conference with the 2002 edition (held in Pisa).

Authors are invited to submit their work for careful review by the International Program Committee.

Suggested topics include but are not limited to:

• audio and speech interaction
• context-dependent systems
• designing Web sites for mobile devices
• evaluation of mobile devices and services
• intelligent environments
• location-aware interaction
• model-based design of interactive mobile systems
• multimodal interaction
• novel user interfaces
• perception and modeling of the environment
• safety issues (e.g., in-car user interfaces)
• specific classes of handheld devices
• (PDA, Pocket PC, WAP phone ...)
• 3D graphics on mobile devices
• 3G/4G devices and services
• usability of mobile devices and services
• visualization techniques for the mobile context
