Publication

ALL accepted MoMM2015 papers will be published by ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ISBN: 978-1-4503-3493-8) and the supplemental proceedings and indexed appropriately in all major indexes. Selected high-quality papers will be invited to be published, after revision and extension, in special issues of international journals and in a book in the Book Series: Atlantis Ambient and Pervasive Intelligence published by Springer.

Scope

A vast variety of multimedia services like voice, email, instant messaging, social networks, mobile payment and transactions, mobile video conferencing, or video and audio streaming has already shaped the expectations towards current mobile devices, infrastructure, and services. Within the last five years, mobile multimedia has become the accepted standard, driven by developments in end-user devices, radio networks, and backend services. However, many open research questions remain open, from limited battery life to heterogeneous data types, increases in quality of service, context-aware adaptation to the environment, or the ever-present security and privacy issues.

MoMM2015 is the 13th edition in the series of the highly successful International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing and Multimedia.

Recently, MoMM has been held in Kaohsiung (2014), Vienna (2013), Bali (2012), Ho Chi Minh City (2011), Paris (2010), Kuala Lumpur (2009), and Linz (2008). This year, Brussels will host MoMM2015. The MoMM conference series has provided opportunities to researchers, graduate students, and industry practitioners to address recent research results and current industry practices in the area of mobile computing and multimedia.

We invite three types of submissions: Full Technical Papers, Short Position Papers, and Demonstrations.

- A Full Paper should provide solid conceptual and theoretical foundation and substantial support for its results and conclusions as a significant contribution to the field.

- A Position Paper is not expected to be theoretically or empirically thorough, but represents an earlier stage of work. Examples are demonstration or prototype work, preliminary user studies, or work in progress, i.e. a report on the latest emerging ideas, approaches, methodologies, systems and application scenarios. A demonstration is intended to showcase novel concepts and innovative technologies which are at advanced stage and have already been implemented in working prototype systems. The informal setting of the demonstration session encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about presented work, while the accompanying short paper should describe the scientific aspects, concepts !

or methods underpinning the hands-on demonstration. Accepted papers and demonstrations from all three categories will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.

Submission Guidelines

Papers and demonstration descriptions must be submitted electronically in PDF through the conference website. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with proceedings. Submitted demonstrations should convey a scientific result and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages. Submitted papers and demonstrations will be subject to stringent peer review by at least three members of the international program committee and carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Accepted papers and demonstration descriptions will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by ACM. Format requirements for submissions of papers and demonstrations are:

- Maximum 10 pages, including the abstract (no more than 150 words), all figures and references for Full Technical papers.

- Maximum 4 pages, including the abstract (no more than 150 words), all figures and references for Short Position Papers.

- A video clip (for review purpose only) and a description of maximum 4 pages for the demonstration. The description should outline the underlying novel concepts, methods and/or approaches, and details about implementation, deployment, testing, and evaluation and user uptake.

- All submissions should be formatted according to ACM guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)

- Submissions must be entered into the Submission System (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=momm2015)

Awards

MoMM2015 best paper awards, best student paper awards, and best demonstrations will be selected based on novelty, significance, and the presentation at the conference. Best student paper awards can only be awarded to papers on which students are first authors.
