The ACM Conference on Human-Computer-Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services (MobileHCI) is a scientific conference series that deals with the interaction between people and computers in a mobile context. It is widely regarded as the most prestigious conference in the field of mobile human-computer interaction . In 2006 the Australian Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia rated the conference as first class (A class) and had an acceptance rate of 25%. MobileHCI is organized by ACM SIGCHI , a special interest group that deals with human-machine interaction, and ACM SIGMOBILE , which deals with the mobility of systems, users, data and computing. The MobileHCI has been held annually since 1998.

history

The MobileHCI series began in 1998 as an independent workshop with the topic of human-machine interaction with mobile devices. It was organized by Chris Johnson at the University of Glasgow . The following year the workshop was held in conjunction with the Interact conference and organized by Stephen Brewster and Mark Dunlop. In 2001 the MobileHCI was again organized by Brewster and Dunplop in conjunction with a major conference, this year in conjunction with the IHM-HCI in Lille, France.

In 2002, the MobileHCI was organized as an independent symposium independent of a large conference by Fabio Paternò in Pisa . The following year she organized Luca Chittaro in Udine , Italy. In 2004, the MobileHCI was again hosted Brewster and Dunlop at Strathclyde University . In the following years the conference was held in Austria , Finland and Singapore .

MobileHCI 2008 was organized by Henri ter Hofte and Ingrid Mulder from Telematica Instituut in the Netherlands. It took place in the Congress Center of the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam . In 2009, the MobileHCI was organized by Reinhard Oppermann from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology. It took place in the main building of the university in Bonn . The 12th MobileHCI Conference 2010 took place in Lisbon, Portugal on November 7-10. September took place under the motto a mobile world for all and was organized by Marco de Sá and Luís Carriço from the University of Lisbon. In 2011 the MobileHCI will take place in Stockholm and will be hosted by the Mobile Life Center .

subjects

At the beginning of the conference series, the given topics were not very specific compared to the following years. Over time, the list of given topics became more extensive and detailed. Topics that have been considered relevant from the very beginning until today are, for example, acoustic and speech-based interaction, the design of websites for mobile devices , evaluation techniques for mobile devices and services, and multimodal user interfaces . Other topics were added over the years. Examples of this are wearable computing , mobile social networks and, since 2008 in the list of topics, studies that examine the use of mobile devices by special user groups.

Workshops

In the run-up to the conference, workshops have been held since 2002 that focus on specific topics. In order to be able to participate in a workshop, contributions must be submitted that will be presented during the workshop. Usually around 20 people take part in a workshop. In addition to these presentations, discussions will be given a larger space than during the actual conference. Successful workshops were often repeated in the following years. Examples of this are the workshops HCI in Mobile Guides, Mobile Interaction with the Real World (MIRW) and the Workshop on Speech in Mobile and Pervasive Environments (SiMPE).
