Special Issue on Mobile and Wearable Interaction

** Submission Deadline: March 24, 2022 **
------------------------------------------------

Mobile and wearable technologies are now universal. They enable 
ubiquitous communication, sensing, and interaction. The design of mobile 
and wearable technologies has a tremendous impact on our everyday lives. 
Research in the field of mobile interaction investigates novel 
interaction techniques, multimodal feedback, the use of wearables in AR 
and VR, mobile activity tracking, mobile conversational user interfaces, 
and other related topics. There is also a growing interest in 
investigating the connection between mobile interaction and 
sustainability, digital self-determination, and handling sensitive user 
data on mobile devices. For this special issue we invite contributions 
in the broad and important field of mobile and wearable interaction.

Accepted articles will be published in the Journal of Interactive Media 
(i-com), edited by the German Association for Informatics. i-com is 
indexed by the major scientific indices. Scopus CiteScore has reached 
1,7 for i-com articles in 2020.

SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review process. Each 
manuscript will be reviewed by three independent expert reviewers. 
Possible outcomes of the first round of reviews are: accept, revision, 
or reject. Authors of submissions that require revision will have one 
month to implement the required changes.

Anonymized manuscripts need to be submitted via ScholarOne. The 
anticipated length of papers for this special issue is about 7.000 - 
10.000 words. The length of the manuscript should be proportional to its 
contribution. Templates for preparing submissions can be accessed below.
