*** Mobile and Embedded Interactive Systems (MEIS'08) ***

*********************************************************
OVERVIEW
Interaction with mobile devices and embedded systems has become a part
of everyday life. As mobile devices get more complex and embedded
systems consist of different components that are networked the
creation of usable interactive software poses many new challenges.
Issues arise from emerging novel paradigms in user interfaces. In
particular tangible interaction, device and interfaces ecologies, and
implicit interaction create new requirements for user centered design
and system development
The workshop on Mobile and Embedded Interactive Systems (MEIS'08)
seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia
and industry who are concerned with envisioning, creating, and
implementing mobile and embedded interactive systems. The workshop
will provide a venue to present novel research in this field and to
openly discuss ideas and problems on the topic. By bringing together
different viewpoints, in particular embedded systems, complex software
systems, mobile interaction, and user centered design, a broader
understanding can emerge. The overall aim of the workshop is to foster
a community in mobile and embedded interactive systems.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
We invite research contributions describing original and high quality
research work as well as problem statements which are providing a
basis for discussion including the following topics:
- novel tangible user interfaces and interaction metaphors
- new interaction techniques for mobile and embedded interactive systems
- new interface technologies and concepts
- sensing and actuator technologies for mobile and embedded
interactive systems
- camera-based mobile interaction techniques
- alternative sensory modalities, e.g. auditory and tactile feedback
- ad-hoc user interfaces for multiple device orchestration
- ad-hoc interaction with embedded systems via handheld devices
- methods, tools, models and design guidelines for emerging user interfaces
- evaluation methods and tools for novel user interfaces
- prototyping mobile and embedded interactive systems
- experience of creating everyday objects that become user interfaces
- experience reports on building, using, and deploying mobile and embedded
interactive systems
DATES AND DEADLINES
Submissions are due: April 28, 2008
Notification of authors: June 2, 2008
Camera ready version due: July 1, 2008
Informatik 2008 in Munich: September 8-13, 2008
Workshop MEIS'08: September 11, 2008
SUBMISSION
Participants will be selected based on their submission by a program
committee. We invite two types of submissions:
- Research contributions describing original and high quality research work
in the area of mobile and embedded interactive systems. For full papers
with oral presentations papers should be up to 6 pages long; for posters
we expect 2-page papers.
- Problem statements, research questions, or claims on a topic should be
accompanied by max. 1 page outlining the problem, question, or claim
which is providing a basis for discussion.
Submissions are required to follow the GI author guidelines and have
to use the LaTeX or Word template available at:
http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/gi-edition-lecture-notes-in-informatics-lni-2005/autorenrichtlinien/
Submissions will be handled electronically. For details see the
workshop webpage at: http://www.hcilab.org/events/meis08/
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings of
Informatik 2008. The proceedings will be published by the Gesellschaft
für Informatik (GI).
