General Information

Are you working in an emerging area in MobileHCI? Please consider 
organizing a workshop! Workshops allow members of a community to meet 
in the context of a focused and interactive discussion. Arranging a 
workshop is an opportunity to move the field forward and to build a 
community. MobileHCI workshops might address basic research, applied 
research, HCI practice, new methodologies, emerging application 
areas, design innovations, management and organizational issues, or 
HCI education. Each workshop should generate ideas that give the 
MobileHCI community a new, organized way of thinking about the topic, 
or ideas that suggest promising directions for future research. Some 
workshops result in edited books or special issues of journals; you 
may consider including such a goal in the design of your workshop.

Workshops will be held on August 27, 2013. Two workshop formats will 
be available: half-day and full-day. Half-day workshops should be 
scheduled to use 3 working hours, with one break. Full-day workshops 
should be scheduled to use 6 working hours, with a mid-morning break, 
a lunch break, and a mid-afternoon break. Workshops typically have 15 
to 20 participants. Focused interaction among participants is 
important. Participants must have informed positions based on prior 
experience.

Preparing the Submission

Workshop organizers submit a workshop proposal to the MobileHCI 
conference. Proposals undergo a review process. Accepted workshops 
will be publicized on the MobileHCI website. Workshop organizers will 
be expected to recruit workshop participants (e.g., through 
announcements on relevant mailing lists and using social media).

The submission deadline for workshop proposals is February 24, 2013 
Proposals should be submitted using Precision Conference.

- Formatting Instructions

A workshop proposal submission consists of a single PDF file in the 
MobileHCI 2013 Extended Abstracts Format. This document must contain 
four sections: a cover sheet, a proposal, a description of the 
workshop, and a call for participation.

- Part 1. Cover Sheet

Each submission should have a cover sheet giving contact information 
for the primary workshop organizer. This person will serve as the 
main point of contact with the Workshop Chairs.

- Part 2. Proposal

Prepare a proposal for the Workshops review committee. The proposal 
should not exceed 3 pages. The proposal must describe the topic, a 
detailed plan for conducting the workshop (before, during, and 
after), and the organizers. backgrounds.

- Part 3. Description of the Workshop

Prepare a description of the workshop using a maximum of four pages, 
suitable for publication in the supplementary conference proceedings 
in digital format. It should contain a summary of the workshop's 
goals and issues. It must be prepared in the MobileHCI 2013 Extended 
Abstracts Format, within the deadline. Note that this document is the 
only document from the workshop that will be published in the 
conference proceedings on digital format.

- Part 4. Call for Participation

Prepare a 250-word Call for Participation suitable for publication on 
the MobileHCI 2013 web site. It should describe the format and goals 
of the workshop, the participant selection criteria, requirements for 
papers (e.g. page length, topics to address, etc), where these papers 
should be submitted, and the fact that at least one author of 
accepted papers needs to register for the workshop and for the 
conference itself. Organizers are encouraged to develop an external 
web page with additional information about the workshop for potential 
participants.

The workshop description will be made available in the conference 
proceedings and on the ACM Digital Library. The authors must be 
prepared to sign an ACM copyright transfer form before the proposal 
is published.

Responsibilities of Workshop Organizers

* Publicize their workshop: organizers of an accepted workshop are 
encouraged to set up and maintain locally a web page in which they 
provide further and updated information about their workshop. The 
local page of the workshop will be reachable from the official 
MobileHCI workshop site.

* Solicit papers from potential participants: A workshop paper is 
generally 2-4 pages long and outlines the submitter's view on the 
workshop theme and the reasons for the submitter's interest in the 
topic.

* Select participants on the basis of papers submitted to them.

* Distribute papers and other pre-workshop materials to participants 
in advance of the workshop.

* Develop a final agenda of workshop activities.

At the workshop, the organizer is responsible for facilitating 
discussion, maintaining productive interaction, and encouraging 
participation. The emphasis should be on group discussion, rather 
than on presentation of individual papers. Diversity of perspectives 
should be encouraged.

We will provide the following A/V equipment: projector, screen, 1 
flip chart, 1 set of pens, and adhesive for attaching flip chart 
pages to walls without leaving marks. Regarding wireless 
availability, network connectivity is available in the facility.

Workshop Participants

Workshop participants submit position papers to the workshop. These 
position papers are peer-reviewed by the workshop organizers. 
Workshops are only open to people who have had their paper accepted 
by the workshop organizers, and who have registered for both the 
workshop and the MobileHCI conference. The MobileHCI program 
committee suggests May 10, 2013 as a deadline for submission of 
position papers and June 10, 2013 as a deadline for notification of 
acceptance.

Accepted workshop papers (i.e., those of the workshop participants) 
will NOT be published in the conference proceedings.
