3rd International Workshop on Pervasive Mobile Interaction Devices (PERMID 2007) - Mobile Devices as Pervasive User Interfaces and Interaction Devices - Workshop at the Pervasive 2007 Sunday May 13, 2007 (9.00 - 17.00) Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Theme

Mobile devices have become a pervasive part of our everyday live. People have mobile phones, smart phones and PDAs which they take with them almost everywhere. So far these mobile devices have been mostly used for phone calls, writing short messages and organizer functionalities. Today we see that the development of context-aware services for mobile phones which often take the user, her situation and location into account. But why not use these devices for interactions with the real world, as a mediator between the virtual and the user’s world? While certain research domains within the fields of mobile applications and services advance at an amazing speed (e.g. context-aware services on mobile devices, using the sensors of mobile phones), the areas of pervasive mobile user interfaces, mobile devices as interaction devices, mobile devices for interactions with the physical world and user experiences in this field are still rather limited.

Topics

Possible topics for the workshop include (but are not limited to):

• Interactions between mobile devices and the real world
• Using mobile devices as user interfaces for terminals and vending machines
• Portable music players (e.g. iPod Video) and personal servers as mobile interaction devices
• Usage of sensors of mobile devices (camera, microphone, GPS, etc.) for pervasive applications
• Interaction metaphors for pervasive applications and services
• Augmented, virtual and mixed reality on mobile phones and PDAs (tracking, markers, visualisation)
• Multimodal interaction taking mobile devices into account
• Gathering, management and usage of context information for mobile applications
• Interactive context-aware services on mobile devices
• User experience, user studies
• Applications and scenarios

Goals

The main goal of the workshop is to develop an understanding of how mobile devices (particularly mobile phones, smart phones and PDAs) can be used as interaction devices. We will provide a forum to share information, results, and ideas on current research in this area. Furthermore we aim to develop new ideas on how mobile phones can be exploited for new forms of interaction with the environment. We will bring together researchers and practitioners who are concerned with design, development, and implementation of new applications and services using personal mobile devices as user interfaces.

Workshop Format

The workshop will feature presentation of research results, ongoing work, ideas, concepts, and critical questions related to the use of mobile devices as user interfaces in the real world. Every presentation will be followed by a corresponding discussion. Furthermore we invite the presenters to show their demonstrators during their presentation and in the breaks.

Participation & Process

The number of participants should be limited to 25 people. Prospective authors are invited to submit their contribution, in PDF format conform to the ACM SIG Proceedings format electronically to rukzio (at) comp.lancs.ac.uk no later than February 5, 2007. The organizers will select circa 10 papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers should have a length of about 4 pages.

Location

PERMID 2007 will be held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing (PERVASIVE 2007) in Toronto, Canada. For more information about the main conference, refer to http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/conferences/pervasive2007/. The actual workshop will take place on Sunday May 13, 2007. at Marriott Eaton Centre, 525 Bay Street, Toronto, ON, Canada in the Trinity IV room / Conference Level (Conference Level can be accessed by taking escalators in main lobby down one floor).
