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)

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;
* A demo or a video of technologies, case studies, usage behaviour, etc.
Submission deadline: 1st of May, 2011.
Please send your submissions to michael.leitner@northumbria.ac.uk and schrammel@cure.at
