Call for Papers
Workshop on Multi-User Services for Social Television (MUSST)
In conjunction with
the International Conference on Entertainment Computing (ICEC2012)
26-29 September 2012, Bremen, Germany

Social TV has been an active area of research for more than a decade now, but most research has focused on interaction between remote participants, either through direct communication or more indirect e.g. in the form of social recommendations. However, an issue that has been mostly neglected in social TV research is how to deal with multiple co-located users in the home.

This workshop, held at ICEC2012<http://www.icec2012.org/> from 26 to 29 September in Bremen (Germany), wants to address this gap by investigating possible social TV services for multiple users in the home. The objective of this full-day workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different aspects of multi-user services for social television including multiple devices: user research, prototype design, technical implementation, system scalability, business models, etc. Papers are solicited addressing the workshop topics mentioned below.

The workshop will aim at stimulating lively discussions according to the paper topics, as well as providing a creative design exercise as a hands-on approach to actively provide solutions for the topics discussed.
