ECIR2009-4th MUIA Workshop Call for Papers

The 4th International Workshop on Mobile and Ubiquitous Information Access will be held at the European Conference on Information Retrieval. As with previous workshops in the series, this workshop will provide a forum to investigate the many problems of providing information to users on the move. Devices range from web tablets and music players, through mobile phones to PDAs and tablet PCs. Developments in terms of device and network capability continue to transform the opportunities for novel methods of accessing information, and to improve existing techniques.

The workshop will provide a forum for those from traditional and mobile information retrieval communities to engage with experts in mobile computing and interaction. Accepted papers will be produced in workshop proceedings, with revised and re-reviewed post-proceedings versions published in an international journal. During the workshop, we will foster a lively environment for extensive discussion and the creation of new ideas.

Papers may focus on any one of a number of issues in this fast-moving and complex area:

  • Mobile Information retrieval and filtering
  • User modelling and personalisation
  • Mobile device design for information access
  • Context aware information delivery
  • Nomadic computing
  • Ubiquitous computing
  • Usability of mobile information services
  • Ambient intelligence

Submission format

Submissions should use the standard ACM Proceedings templates, available in Word and LaTeX formats.

Papers may be accepted as full papers (12 pages max.) or short papers (5 pages). Demonstrations and panel proposals are also welcome, accompanied by overview papers of up to 2 pages.

Papers should be submitted through our OpenConf site.
