        Call for Posters, Videos, Doctoral School and Student Design
Competition

  15th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM
2016)

                                www.mum-conf.org

                December 12 - December 15, 2016 in Rovaniemi, Finland

                 Organized by the University of Lapland, Rovaniemi
                         in-cooperation with ACM SIGCHI

================================================================================

**Submission deadline for all categories is October 21, 2016**

We explicitly welcome submissions to multiple categories. By submitting one
paper in the following categories (up to 2 pages excluding references in
SIGCHI Double Column Format: LaTeX or Word), authors can select multiple
formats of presentation, including a poster, a video, a demo, a doctoral
school submission and a student design competition . If multiple categories
are used for presenting a certain research project, please upload the paper
only in one submission category. For example, if you want to submit a
two-page paper with a poster and a video, you can submit it to the poster
track in EasyChair first, and provide the ID of this poster submission in
the additional video track submission instead of uploading the paper again.
The same way you can refer to a full or short paper submission from a
poster, demo or video track submission.

Please note that the respective chairs will review suitability for
presentation in each category separately. Accepted demo, poster and video
submissions will be included in the conference proceedings published by ACM
Press and included in the ACM Digital Library. For doctoral school
submissions, the author can select if s/he wants the submission to be
included.

**Posters**
The MUM poster track provides an opportunity for researchers and
practitioners to show and discuss their recent work on mobile and
ubiquitous multimedia systems, services, interactions and experiences. The
submissions can be also about something that has not been fully designed,
implemented or tested but shows great promise, has a provoking topic or
only preliminary results, or summarizes several small-scale studies. Topics
of interest are the same as mentioned in the CfP for short and full papers.
Posters provide the opportunity for researchers to get feedback on
early-stage work, discuss potential collaborations and burning issues in an
informal manner with the MUM community.

Poster submissions should be up to 2 pages excluding references in SIGCHI
Double Column Format (excluding references) and they should be accompanied
by a first version of the poster. The posters are recommended to be in A0
format (84cm x 119cm / 33in x 47in), and must be in portrait orientation.
Poster submissions must include an abstract of less than 150 words that
clearly states the poster's contribution to the field. Submissions will
undergo a double-blind review process managed by the poster chairs and the
poster committee.

Accepted submissions will be presented in dedicated poster sessions at the
conference. Authors are expected to bring the accepted posters to the
conference site with them and be present at the posters and demos session
on the second day of the conference.

Chairs: Thomas Olsson and Katrin Wolf ([log in to unmask])

**Demos**
The MUM 2016 demonstration track provides an opportunity to present a
hands-on demonstration of your work, research, service, prototype or
product addressing one or more of the suggested topics in the general call
for participation. We want to see and play with your prototypes, services,
devices, systems and any innovative example of mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia. We encourage making your demonstration visually or otherwise
appealing and presenting it in an innovative way in order to attract the
participation of attendees.

Demo submissions should max. 2 pages excluding references in SIGCHI Double
Column Format, and accompanied by a one-page informal specification of the
infrastructure requirements. Demo submissions contain an abstract that is
less than 150 words long that clearly states the demo's contribution to the
field. Authors are encouraged to submit an illustrative video to accompany
their paper. Submissions will undergo a review process managed by the
demonstration chairs.

The demonstration chairs will investigate infrastructure and equipment
possibilities for the accepted demonstrations. Participants are expected to
bring the necessary equipment to the conference site with them.
Demonstrations will be presented during the posters and demos session at
the second day of the conference.

Chairs: Kai Kunze and Denzil Ferreira ([log in to unmask])

**Videos**
The MUM 2016 video track is a forum that leaps off the page: vision videos,
reflective pieces, humor, novel interfaces, games, AR systems, and anything
else that is a good match for video and relevant to MUM. Videos will be
shown to all attendees during a screening event at the first day of the
conference. The video track is a great opportunity to showcase your work to
the MUM community. Videos will be judged on their content and presentation,
that is, how much they intellectually engage a MUM audience and how
effectively they communicate their message. We are looking to create an
enjoyable experience for the attendees. Interesting but poorly-produced
videos may be rejected.

We welcome high-quality video submissions of any length up to 5 minutes,
but 2-3 minutes is the more common length. We encourage the submission of
videos either as new material or as supplemental to other submissions. A
maximum of two-page paper submission (ACM Double Column Format, references
do not count towards the page limit) of your video submission is required
unless your submission accompanies a short or full paper, poster, demo, or
doctoral school submission currently under review at MUM. The video should
be self-explanatory and not require the viewer to read the paper.
Submissions will undergo a review process managed by the video chairs.

It is very important that you have the rights to use all the material that
is contained in your submission, including music, video, images, etc.
Attaining permissions to use video, audio, or pictures of identifiable
people or proprietary content rests with the author.

Videos may show work that has been published or released previously. Please
make clear in your submission any prior exposure your video has received.

Video format: H.264 encoded MP4, at least 1280px x 720px, at most 5 minutes
(2-3 minutes is a more common length)

Chairs: Julie Williamson and Daniela Petrelli ([log in to unmask])

**Doctoral School**
MUM 2016 will feature a doctoral consortium for the second time in the
history of the conference series. This will be an opportunity for a small
group of PhD students to meet and discuss their work with each other and
with a panel of experienced researchers in the field, in an informal and
interactive setting. We welcome applications from current PhD students
studying in any area of relevance to the MUM community. You will benefit
most from this opportunity, if you are already beyond proposal stage in
your PhD and have clearly identified your PhD topic and approach.

To apply for participation in the doctoral school, we ask you to submit A
maximum of two-page paper in ACM Double Column Format (references do not
count towards the page limit). The paper should describe the context and
motivation of your PhD research, the problem and aims that drive your
research and your research objectives and/or questions. It should further
describe and explain your (proposed) research approach and methods, and
include a discussion of any results you may already have. Please also
include the context of your PhD, i.e. the university programme in which you
conduct your PhD, the status of your PhD, the expected completion date, and
any other relevant information on your PhD situation.

Submissions will not be peer-reviewed. We will select students for
participation with a view of prioritising those who would likely benefit
most, i.e. students who have a clear plan as a foundation for discussion,
but are not already too advanced in their PhD to still be able to benefit
from advice in developing their dissertation. Accepted students will be
asked to prepare a presentation on their PhD research, and a poster which
will be included in the MUM 2016 poster track. For accepted doctoral
consortium submissions, the author can select if s/he wants the submission
to be included to the conference proceedings and ACM Digital Library.

Chairs: Oskar Juhlin and Keith Cheverst ([log in to unmask])

**Student Design Competition**
For the first time in the history of the conference series, MUM 2016 will
host a student design competition. The student design competition is a
track where young designers and researchers at the beginning of their
career can show their talent, imagination and skills, in concepting,
modelling and prototyping their design vision on the competition theme.

The theme of the student design competition is "Below Zero", reflecting the
Arctic location of the conference venue in Lapland. The competition entry
consists of a design concept for a Below Zero context or use case, in the
area of mobile and/or ubiquitous multimedia.

o participate in the competition, the students should form teams of 2-6
students (bachelor, master’s or doctoral studies level). The team needs to
come up with a design concept, which is reported in a short written report
(see instructions below) and a poster. The submission should contain a
clear description of the design concept, its use case, and the design
process. We expect you to present how you started your concepting work,
e.g. brainstorming and/or user study methods applied, what were the steps
in your design process, and what kind of end concept and/or prototype you
came up as the final result.

We expect entries from different design disciplines, including but not
limited to, industrial design, interaction design, user experience design,
clothing design, service design, and design researchers to take part of the
competition. We encourage making your submission visually or otherwise
appealing, and presenting it in an innovative way in order to attract the
jury and the conference audience. The finalists will be invited to present
their work at the conference, where the winner is selected by the chair and
the jury. The competition entries will be judged for their innovativeness,
design qualities, presentation quality, match with the theme, and readiness
(e.g. design prototype, or ability to demonstrate the concept). The
finalists’ presentations in the conference consists of an oral
presentation, poster (A0 size), and, if applicable, a demo. At least one
member of each finalist team must register and be present in the
conference.

Authors are encouraged to submit an illustrative video (of max 3 minutes)
to accompany their paper. Submissions will undergo a jury evaluation
process managed by the design competition chairs. Accepted finalists are
expected to bring the necessary equipment to the conference site with them.
Posters and demonstrations will be presented during the poster and demo
session. The accepted 2 page paper submissions will be included to the
proceedings and will appear in the ACM digital library.
