Call for Papers:
Fourth International Workshop on Mobile and Ubiquitous Information
Access (MUIA'09)
In conjunction with ECIR 2009 (http://ecir09.irit.fr)
The 4th International Workshop on Mobile and Ubiquitous Information
Access will be held at the European Conference on Information
Retrieval. As with previous workshops in the series, this workshop
will provide a forum to investigate the many problems of providing
information to users on the move. Devices range from web tablets and
music players, through mobile phones to PDAs and tablet PCs.
Developments in terms of device and network capability continue to
transform the opportunities for novel methods of accessing
information, and to improve existing techniques.
The workshop will provide a forum for those from traditional and
mobile information retrieval communities to engage with experts in
mobile computing and interaction. Accepted papers will be produced in
workshop proceedings, with revised and re-reviewed post-proceedings
versions published in an international journal. During the workshop,
we will foster a lively environment for extensive discussion and the
creation of new ideas.
Papers may focus on any one of a number of issues in this fast-moving
and complex area:
· Mobile Information retrieval and filtering
· User modelling and personalisation
· Mobile device design for information access
· Context aware information delivery
· Nomadic computing
· Ubiquitous computing
· Usability of mobile information services
· Ambient intelligence
Papers may be accepted as full papers (12 pages max.) or short papers
(5 pages). Demonstrations and panel proposals are also welcome,
accompanied by overview papers of up to 2 pages.
