********************************************************* *** Mobile and Embedded Interactive Systems (MEIS'09) *** *** Workshop @ Informatik 2009 in Lübeck *** *** http://www.hcilab.org/events/meis09 *** *********************************************************
*** Deadline extended to: May 18, 2009 ***
OVERVIEW
Interaction with mobile devices and embedded systems has become a part of everyday life. As mobile devices get more complex and embedded systems consist of different components that are networked the creation of usable interactive software poses many new challenges. Issues arise from emerging novel paradigms in user interfaces. In particular tangible interaction, device and interfaces ecologies, and implicit interaction create new requirements for user centered design and system development
The workshop on Mobile and Embedded Interactive Systems (MEIS'09) seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are concerned with envisioning, creating, and implementing mobile and embedded interactive systems. The workshop will provide a venue to present novel research in this field and to openly discuss ideas and problems on the topic. By bringing together different viewpoints, in particular embedded systems, complex software systems, mobile interaction, and user centered design, a broader understanding can emerge. The overall aim of the workshop is to foster a community in mobile and embedded interactive systems.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
We invite research contributions describing original and high quality research work as well as problem statements which are providing a basis for discussion including the following topics:
- novel tangible user interfaces and interaction metaphors - new interaction techniques for mobile and embedded interactive systems - new interface technologies and concepts - interactions with handheld and embedded micro projectors - sensing and actuator technologies for mobile and embedded interactive systems - camera-based mobile interaction techniques - alternative sensory modalities, e.g. auditory and tactile feedback - ad-hoc user interfaces for multiple device orchestration - ad-hoc interaction with embedded systems via handheld devices - methods, tools, models and design guidelines for emerging user interfaces - evaluation methods and tools for novel user interfaces - prototyping mobile and embedded interactive systems - experience of creating everyday objects that become user interfaces - experience reports on building, using, and deploying mobile and embedded interactive systems - embedded interaction in vehicular information systems
DATES AND DEADLINES
Submissions are due: May 18, 2009 Notification of authors: Jun 15, 2009 Camera ready version due: Jul 1, 2009 Workshop at Informatik 2009: Sep 29, 2009
SUBMISSION
Participants will be selected based on their submission by a program committee. We invite two types of submissions:
- Research contributions describing original and high quality research work in the area of mobile and embedded interactive systems. For full papers with oral presentations papers should be up to 6 pages long; for posters we expect 2-page papers.
- Problem statements, research questions, or claims on a topic should be accompanied by max. 1 page outlining the problem, question, or claim which is providing a basis for discussion.
Submissions are required to follow the GI author guidelines and have to use the LaTeX or Word template available at: http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/gi-edition-lecture-notes-in-inform...
