Beyond Mobile Context
Workshop on mobile interaction design practice and theory
(+ Keynote by Prof. Paul Rodgers on Creative Practice at the Boundaries
of Architecture, Design and Art)
5 July 2011
Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne
Held in conjunction with BHCI 2011 (www.hci2011.co.uk
<http://www.hci2011.co.uk>)<http://www.hci2011.co.uk/>

Important Dates:
Submission deadline: 1 May, 2011.
Workshop: 5 July, 2011 (as part of BHCI 2011)
*General Theme:*
We are witnessing a new quality of mobile interactions triggered by
emerging new mobile technologies and services ranging from
location-based apps and mobile learning services to mobile projectors
and wearable computing which in turn is creating new practices of use,
new experiences, new places and ways to socialize, etc. This workshop
will provide a forum to scrutinize the current understanding of
"mobility" in human centred interaction research in order to identify
current and future challenges for design and evaluation practices,
methodologies and theories.
*Workshop Topics:*
/Novel and emerging aspects of mobility:/This workshop will discuss
novel ways, practices, situations and locations to express and strive
for sociality, experiences and values that are enforced, induced and
enabled by emerging and future mobile tools and services.
/Design and evaluation practice (+ methodologies)//in mobility/: The
workshop will reflect on the state of the art in mobile practice and
application to discuss further how to design for a new quality of mobile
practices and how to evaluate for such new settings.
/Theories and Frameworks//for mobile interaction: /This workshop will
discuss common understandings of mobility (e.g. mobile context theory),
their strengths and weaknesses, and their relationship to trends and
research as discussed earlier in the day.
*Submission guidelines:*
We encourage submissions including, but not limited to, the following
topics (see website for detail):
*
Innovative mobile tools, services and applications
*
Novel mobile experiences, motives and values (studies,
discussions, opinions)
*
Studies and discussion of novel mobile social and usage behaviour
*
Presentation, reflection and discussion of innovative mobile
design and evaluation methods
*
Scrutiny of "mobile context theory" and related theoretical and
methodological approaches
*Contributions are invited in the following formats:*
A position paper, max. 2 pages in length (find information on the
templates here <http://hci2011.co.uk/site/submission-process/>);
A demo or a video of technologies, case studies, usage behavior, etc.
Submission deadline: 1st of May, 2011.
