Social Mobile Web 2009

I am looking forward to reviewing interesting papers for the Social Mobile Web 2009 workshop. We have very cool Program Committee members and I am happy to be part of the group. Mobile devices are everywhere and I would love to see innovations coming out in this area.

Call for Paper:
The mobile space is evolving at an astonishing rate. At present there are over 3.5 billion mobile subscribers worldwide and with continued advances in devices, services and billing models, the mobile web looks set to inspire a new age of anytime, anywhere information access. The inherent characteristics of mobile phones enable new types of interactions, e.g. mobile phones are personal to the individual, they are always on and always connected. And as such we are seeing a shift towards mobile devices for social mediated tasks. The world is also witnessing an explosion in social web services. Online social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace continue to experience huge increases in usage, with more and more users seeking novel ways of interacting with their friends and family.

Topics:
Novel social interactions on mobile devices.
Social mobile content sharing and distribution services.
Context aware mobile services - beyond location based services.
Social mobile search and social mobile browsing.
User evaluations of social mobile services.
Mobile user interfaces that incorporate social elements.
Mobility and social networks.
Models of mobile social behavior and mobile traces.
Urban gaming, mobile mixed reality, etc.
Innovative social mobile applications.

Deadline: May 11th 2009
