CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue Int. Journal of Mobile HCI
Research in the large: using app stores, markets, and other wide distribution channels in mobile HCI & UbiComp research
large.mobilelifecentre.org
The distribution of mobile applications has been greatly simplified by mobile app stores and markets. Both lone developers and large research and development teams can now relatively easily reach wide audiences.
This provides a huge opportunity for both iterative development and gathering research data. Evaluation and research methods have to be adapted to this new context. An overview of successful strategies and ways to overcome the challenges inherent to wide deployment in a research context ranging from platform characteristics to gathering reliable research data however is not yet available.
We invite you to submit your work for inclusion in a special issue of the International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction.
We invite researchers and developers from academia and industry to share experiences, insights and strategies for wide distribution of applications. Our focus is on building an understanding of the opportunity of the different channels and the issues and obstacles involved in a research context.
THEMES
Themes include:
- Strategies for wide distribution of research applications
- Methods & experiences with research through app stores and other distribution platforms
- The impact of differences between distribution platforms
- Analysis of the various sorts of data, logs and feedback resulting from publicly releasing applications
- Effects of mobile ecosystem features (distribution, payment, service providers etc) on research and evaluation results
- New developments of distribution channels / app stores (including those for other devices than mobile phones)
- Potential heading towards an 'app store bubble'
- Ethical & validity concerns in research on such a large scale
Submissions will be reviewed by a program committee consisting of researchers from both industry and academia.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions should be 5000-8000 words in length. Final submissions should be sent to Henriette Cramer ([log in to unmask])
before: Oct 14th, 2010.

INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS THE LINK BELOW PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All manuscript submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members of the Program Committee for a double-blind, peer review. A final decision regarding acceptance / revision / rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers.
