CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience (IMUx 2007)
http://www.hiit.fi/imux
In conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing (Pervasive 2007)
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
May 13, 2007
========================================================================
Current interfaces of mobile devices are rather limited when adaptability, context-awareness and proactiveness are considered. For example, they do not utilize the context of the interaction, nor the environmental changes in the user's proximity or the capabilities of the device. This context can include information about the situation and the user preferences, longer or shorter time usage histories, etc. To improve usability and to provide a better user experience, the interfaces of the devices should become more intelligent and require less intentional user inputs.
In order to achieve this goal, novel interaction methods need to be developed and combined with statistical models of the user that capture, for example, her behavior, personal preferences and goals. Furthermore, the developed solutions need to be evaluated via extensive user tests to guarantee they are valuable to the users. To improve the dialogue between the different research topics and their practitioners, the workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the fields of user modeling, user interaction and user experience, with developers of mobile and ubiquitous applications. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to provide a common forum for exchanging ideas between these domains.
Submissions to the workshop should combine at least two of the following
aspects:
- User modeling
- User interaction
- User experience
Example topics include, but are not limited to,
- adaptive context-aware user interfaces
- adaptive mobile computing applications
- considerate computing
- context-aware information retrieval
- embedded solutions for machine learning
- large scale data gathering and its challenges
- large scale user studies
- minimal/implicit/reduced user interaction
MANUSCRIPT FORMAT
The workshop welcomes scientific papers, demonstrations and videos. The manuscripts should be prepared according to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science guidelines (http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-72376-0).
The maximum length of submissions is 10 pages for research papers and 6 pages for videos and demonstrations.
We plan to publish the accepted papers as post-proceedings.
IMPORTANT DATES
January 26, 2007: Submission deadline
March 2, 2007: Notification of acceptance/rejection March 12, 2007: Camera-ready paper submission deadline May 13, 2007: Workshop date
SUBMITTING PAPERS
Paper submissions are being handled by the EDAS system. You need an EDAS account in order to be able to submit your paper.
1. If you do not have an EDAS account, visit
http://edas.info/newPerson.php?noauth=1 to create one.
2. Log into http://edas.info.
3. Click on the 'submit paper' link at the top left of the page and either locate 'IMUx 2007' from the list of conferences accepting submissions and click on the 'new paper icon' or go to http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=5175&submit=0& to go directly to paper submissions.
4. Paper submission has two phases. You first need to register your paper (title, authors, abstract and select categories that best reflect the content of the paper). We ask you to complete the entire form as the keywords will help us in assigning reviewers with the most appropriate expertise to review your work. Once you hit 'submit' you are able to add your co-authors.
5. You can click on the 'manuscript' icon to upload the PDF version of your paper. You can continue to upload revised versions until the submission deadline January 26, 2007 (by 11:59PM EST).
