About MUM:
=============

MUM is a distinguished forum for advances in research and technologies
that drive innovation in mobile and multimedia systems, applications, and
services. At MUM academics and practitioners gather to discuss challenges
and achievements from diverse perspectives, in a single-track conference
format.

This year¹s conference aims to continue the tradition of innovation and
excellence in research established by previous MUM conferences. In
addition to the peer-reviewed accepted papers, the conference program will
include keynote presentations, posters, demos, an industry track,
pre-conference workshops and a doctoral consortium.

Accepted full and short papers, industry track papers, demos and posters
will be included in the conference proceedings published by ACM Press and
included in the ACM Digital Library.


Full and Short Papers:
======================

We welcome high quality full and short paper submissions that offer an
original contribution relevant to the field of mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia. Successful full paper submissions typically represent a
significant advance for the field. Short papers offer a focused
contribution to the research program. Short papers are not work in
progress reports but offer completed, rigorously researched/developed work
that makes a significant contribution to the field of mobile and
ubiquitous multimedia. Short papers are likely to have a smaller scope of
contribution than full papers, but they are expected to make a solid
contribution to the field. Paper topics could include, but are not limited
to the following:

* Mobile and ubiquitous multimedia applications and systems
* Mobile user interfaces, interaction design and techniques
* Mobile games, entertainment and advertising
* Mobile social network and multimedia services
* Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services
* Mobile Augmented Reality systems and applications
* Architectures, systems and algorithms tackling technical challenges of
mobile systems
* Middleware and distributed computing support for mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia
* Tools and development systems for building mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia systems
* Case studies, field trials and user experience evaluations of new
applications and services
* Social and privacy implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia
systems

We welcome submission of high quality papers, either in full paper format
(max 10 pages ACM format) or short paper format (max 4 pages ACM format),
that describe original and unpublished research advancing the state of the
art in mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Papers should be grounded in
existing mobile and ubiquitous multimedia literature and knowledge, and
should be written for an interdisciplinary mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia audience.

Submissions should not have been previously published or be concurrently
under submission elsewhere. Papers must be anonymized (remove author and
institutional identities, acknowledgement) and must contain an abstract
that is less than 150 words long that clearly states the paper's
contribution to the field. Submitted PDFs must be no larger than 10
megabytes. Authors are encouraged to submit an illustrative video (max 20
megabytes) to accompany their paper and to demonstrate their system at the
conference. Papers must be submitted via EasyChair (will be linked well in
advance of the deadlines).

Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process, managed by the
Technical Program Chairs. The final camera-ready versions of accepted
papers must be accompanied by a signed copyright form. Accepted full and
short papers will be included in the conference proceedings.


Industry Track Papers:
======================

The Industry Track is targeted towards practitioners and professionals
working in the field of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Industry Track
papers should show the application, commercial aspects and practical
challenges in the areas listed in the call for papers for full and short
papers. Of special interest are also real-world examples that illustrate,
e.g.: experiences in deploying and running such systems, lessons learnt in
developing such systems and differences between research and practice.

The difference to the full and short papers in the scientific track is in
the practical, rather than strictly scientific, nature of the submissions.
We welcome submission of high quality papers, either in full paper format
(max 10 pages ACM format) or short paper format (max 4 pages ACM format).
Papers should be written for an interdisciplinary mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia audience.

Papers must be anonymized (remove author and institutional identities,
acknowledgement) and must contain an abstract that is less than 150 words
long that clearly states the paper's contribution. Submitted PDFs must be
no larger than 10 megabytes. Authors are encouraged to submit an
illustrative video (max 20 megabytes) to accompany their paper and to
demonstrate their system at the conference. Papers must be submitted via
EasyChair (will be linked well in advance of the deadlines).

Accepted industry track papers will be included in the conference
proceedings. Accepted contributions for Industry Track will have a
presentation slot in the main conference.


We welcome you to submit to MUM 2013!
