Call for Papers

This special issue on human-computer interaction with Mobile Devices and Services is comprised of select, full-length versions of papers drawn from the Mobile HCI 2007 conference. The Mobile HCI conference series (http://www.all.mobilehci.org) is the main international forum for academics and practitioners covering the challenges and potential solutions for effective interaction with mobile systems and services. The conference covers the design, evaluation, and application of techniques and approaches for all mobile and wearable computing devices. The conference is highly selective and the most innovative and well received papers will be invited to comprise this special issue.

Topics for this Special Issue cover the wide array of Mobile HCI, which may include:

  • Audio and speech interaction
  • Context-dependent systems
  • Designing Web-sites for mobile devices
  • Ethnographical and field studies with mobile technology
  • Evaluation of mobile devices and services
  • Group interaction and mobility
  • Intelligent environments
  • Location-aware interaction
  • Methods to evaluate mobile usability
  • Model-based design of interactive mobile systems
  • Mobile phenomena
  • Mobility and work environments
  • Multimodal interaction
  • Novel user interfaces and interaction techniques
  • Perception and modeling of the environment
  • Safety issues (e.g., in-car user interfaces, payments)
  • Specific classes of handheld devices (PDA, Pocket PC, WAP phone, etc.)
  • 3D graphics on mobile devices
  • 3G/4G devices and services
  • Usability of mobile devices and services
  • Visualization techniques for the mobile context
