DIViM 2015 - Workshop on Designing Interaction and
Visualization for Mobile Applications
(http://hciv.de/divim15/)
September 14, 2015, Bamberg, Germany

Held in conjunction with the 15th IFIP TC.13 International
Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (INTERACT 2015)
=====================================================================================

CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------
The 15th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on
Human-Computer Interaction - INTERACT 2015 - takes place
from 14 to 18 September 2015 in Bamberg, Germany. The
theme of INTERACT 2015 is
"Connection.Tradition.Innovation". INTERACT is among the
world's top conferences in Human-Computer Interaction.
DIViM 2015 workshop will be held in conjunction with the
INTERACT 2015 at Banberg, Germany on September 14, 2015.

The recent advances in mobile environments bring new
challenges and open issues for the different responsible
parties (e.g., interaction designers, visualization and
HCI experts, etc.) in developing intuitive and interactive
mobile applications. In this context, designing intuitive
interaction and visualization plays an important role for
many purposes, e.g., improved user experience and
aesthetics. In addition, better interaction modes and
suitable visual representations in mobile apps are
critical for the successful executions of the users’
required tasks. However, this requires not only an
intensive collaboration between the responsible parties -
especially the interaction/UX designers, visualization and
HCI experts - but also needs focusing on novel interaction
and visualization approaches and techniques targeting this
new mobile paradigm.

Inspired by the critical role of interaction design and
visualization in the current mobile app development, DIViM
2015 focuses on different issues and limitations regarding
designing intuitive interaction and visualization for
mobile apps and devices, as well as how to overcome these
limits through novel approaches and techniques.


TOPICS
-------
DIViM 2015 is dedicated to observations, concepts,
approaches, techniques, and practices that allow
understanding, facilitating, and increasing the awareness
of the role of designing and implementing intuitive
interactions and visualizations for mobile applications.

Topics of interest for paper submissions include, but are
not limited to:

* Novel interaction and visualization techniques and
methods targeting current mobile apps and devices
* Frameworks and approaches for designing new interaction
techniques and intuitive visualization
* Novel visual interactive techniques targeting mobile
devices
* Scalability issues
* Context and usage issues
* Accessibility and usability issues
* Interaction and visualization for mobile smart watches
* User-centric interaction/visualization
* Novel developments in mobile virtual or augmented
reality
* Testing/Evaluation
* Tools and environments to support the designing and
building of interactive visualization
* Case studies and best practices
