FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue Int. Journal of Mobile HCI

Research in the large: using app stores, markets, and other wide
distribution channels in mobile HCI & UbiComp research

large.mobilelifecentre.org

The distribution of mobile applications has been greatly simplified by
mobile app stores and markets. Both lone developers and large research
and development teams can now relatively easily reach wide audiences.
This provides a huge opportunity for both iterative development and
gathering research data. Evaluation and research methods have to be
adapted to this new context. An overview of successful strategies and
ways to overcome the challenges inherent to wide deployment in a
research context ranging from platform characteristics to gathering
reliable research data however is not yet available.

We invite you to submit your work for inclusion in a special issue of
the International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction.

We invite researchers and developers from academia and industry to
share experiences, insights and strategies for wide distribution of
applications. Our focus is on building an understanding of the
opportunity of the different channels and the issues and obstacles
involved in a research context.

THEMES

Themes include:
- Strategies for wide distribution of research applications
- Methods & experiences with research through app stores and other
distribution platforms
- The impact of differences between distribution platforms
- Analysis of the various sorts of data, logs and feedback resulting
from publicly releasing applications
- Effects of mobile ecosystem features (distribution, payment, service
providers etc) on research and evaluation results
- New developments of distribution channels / app stores (including
those for other devices than mobile phones)
- Potential heading towards an 'app store bubble'
- Ethical & validity concerns in research on such a large scale

Submissions will be reviewed by a program committee consisting of
researchers from both industry and academia.

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions should be 5000-8000 words in length. Final submissions
should be sent to Henriette Cramer ([log in to unmask])
before:  Oct 14th, 2010.

If you have any questions about the special issue or plan a

unpublished manuscripts will be considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD
CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS THE LINK
BELOW PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All manuscript submissions will be
forwarded to at least 3 members of the Program Committee for a

revision / rejection will be based on the reviews received from the
reviewers.
