HANDBOOK OF RESEARCH ON USER INTERFACE DESIGN AND EVALUATION FOR MOBILE
TECHNOLOGY
Edited by Joanna Lumsden, National Research Council of Canada
INTRODUCTION: Human-computer interaction (HCI) focusing on mobile
technologies is one of the most rapidly advancing disciplines. New
devices, concepts, and use cases are constantly being developed, making
mobile HCI a "hot" topic. Designing the user interface/interaction for
mobile applications is a very complex undertaking, given the rapid
technological developments in mobile hardware and the diverse contexts
in which mobile technologies are used. Not only is the design of the
human-computer interaction for mobile technologies difficult, so, too,
is the evaluation of such designs. Evaluation set-ups and techniques
for mobile technology require as much consideration as the design of the
technologies themselves; for the results of evaluations of mobile
applications to be meaningful, the manner in which the evaluations are
conducted needs to be the focus of considerable research in itself.
Teachers, researchers, and professionals of the discipline need access
to the most current information about the concepts, issues, trends, and
technologies in this emerging field. The Handbook of Research on User
Interface Design and Evaluation for Mobile Technology aims to provide
comprehensive coverage of the most important issues, concepts, trends
and technologies in mobile human-computer interaction. This important
new publication will be distributed worldwide among academic and
professional institutions and will be instrumental in providing
researchers, scholars, students, and professionals with access to the
latest knowledge related to designing and evaluating mobile
applications.
COVERAGE: To ensure that this publication has the most comprehensive
current and relevant coverage of all topics related to the design and
evaluation of mobile technology, we are inviting researchers, leading
experts in their particular areas of research, to contribute chapters of
5,000 - 7,500 words that offer an in-depth discussion of key issues,
concepts, and trends related to the development of usable mobile
technologies and applications.
Sample topics include, but are not limited to:
* Novel Interaction Techniques for Mobile Technologies
- non speech audio-based interaction techniques
- speech-based interaction techniques
- graphical interaction techniques
- gestural interaction techniques
- tactile interaction techniques
- multimodal interaction
* User Interface Design for Mobile Technologies
- design methods/approaches
- user interface migration from desktop to mobile technologies
- e-Commerce v. m-Commerce user interface design
- user interface architectures for mobile technologies
* Evaluation Techniques for Mobile Technologies
- mobile HCI lab design/set-up
- lab-based evaluation techniques
- field evaluations
- lab v. field evaluations
- ethical implications of mobile evaluations
* Case Studies
- case studies and/or reflections on experience in any of the
above - e.g. descriptions of successful mobile user interfaces,
evaluation set-ups, etc.
- mobile technologies as assistive devices
- "success stories"
INVITED SUBMISSIONS: Individuals interested in submitting chapters
(5,000 - 7,500 words) on one or more of the above listed topics (or
other related topics) should submit one or more brief (75-100 word)
proposals to the editor ([log in to unmask]) by no later than
June 9th, 2006. We strongly encourage other topics that have not been
listed but are related to your research interests and the focus of this
book. Upon acceptance of your proposal, you will have until 22nd
September, 2006 to prepare and submit your chapter (including 7-10
related terms and their appropriate definitions). Guidelines for
preparing your chapter and terms and definitions will be sent to you
upon acceptance of your proposal(s). You will be notified about the
acceptance or otherwise of your proposal(s) by 23rd June, 2006. This
book is tentatively scheduled for publishing by Idea Group Reference (an
imprint of Idea Group Inc.) in late 2007.
IMPORTANT DATES:
* Deadline for submission of proposals: 9th June, 2006
* Notification of proposal acceptance: by 23rd June, 2006
* Deadline for submission of chapters: 22nd September, 2006
* Notification of chapter acceptance: by 30th November, 2006
* Deadline for submission of revised chapters (where applicable):
15th January, 2007
* Final notification of chapter acceptance (revised chapters): by
31st January, 2007
* Deadline for final camera-ready copy submission: by 23rd
February, 2007
