========================================================================

MUM 2019, the 18th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous 
Multimedia, will be held on 26-29 November 2019 at the CNR Area of 
Research in Pisa, Italy.


GENERAL INFORMATION
================================
The International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM) 
is a leading annual international conference which provides a forum for 
presenting the latest research results on mobile and ubiquitous 
multimedia. The conference brings together experts from both academia 
and industry for a fruitful exchange of ideas and discussion on future 
challenges, in a comfortable and effective single-track conference 
format. This year's conference continues the tradition of innovation and 
excellence established by previous MUM conferences. In addition to the 
peer-reviewed accepted papers, the conference program will include 
keynote presentations, posters, demos and a video track. The conference 
will also have a co-located doctoral school. The technical program will 
be complemented by social events to facilitate informal discussions and 
networking among the conference attendees and invited guests.


TOPICS
================================
Conference topics include, but are not limited to the following:
-Augmented and Mixed Reality systems and applications
-Architectures, systems, algorithms and other constructions tackling 
relevant technical challenges
-Case studies, field trials, or user experience evaluations of new 
applications and services
-Conceptualizations and theorizations of the field
-Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services
-Metrics and measures for evaluating and testing mobile and ubiquitous 
systems
-Middleware and distributed computing support for mobile and ubiquitous 
multimedia
-Novel applications for mobile and ubiquitous gaming, entertainment, 
networking, advertising, etc.
-Social and privacy implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems
-Tools and development environments for building mobile and ubiquitous 
multimedia systems
-User interfaces, interaction design and interaction techniques for 
mobile and ubiquitous systems


FULL AND SHORT PAPERS - SUBMISSION and DEADLINES
================================================
We welcome submissions of high-quality papers that offer original and 
unpublished contributions relevant to the field of mobile and ubiquitous 
multimedia, either in full paper format (max. 10 pages excluding 
references) or short paper format (max. 6 pages excluding references).
Successful full paper submissions typically represent a significant 
empirical, theoretical or methodological advances in the field. Short 
papers offer more focused contributions; they are not work in progress 
reports but offer completed, rigorously researched/developed work with a 
solid contribution to the field. Short papers are likely to have a 
smaller scope of contribution than full papers.

Papers must be submitted via EasyChair 
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mum20190) and follow the SIGCHI 
Proceedings Format 
(http://www.mum-conf.org/2019/templates/MUM2019_Templates.zip).

Full and Short Paper Submission deadline: September 1, 2019
Full and Short Paper Notification: September 30, 2019


WORKSHOPS - SUBMISSION and DEADLINES
================================================

MUM 2019 conference also welcomes proposals for workshops. A MUM 
Workshop is a forum for attendees with shared interests to present, 
discuss, and develop new ideas around a specific theme or domain related 
to Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia. It is the perfect opportunity for 
putting the best minds in the field together to build new communities, 
to explore new ideas, and to develop emerging topics.

All workshops will take place on the Tuesday before the conference, on 
the 26th of November. Because workshops are meant to encourage ideas 
exchange, we encourage proposals that go beyond being a mini-conference 
and that engage participants in hands-on activities and in discussions. 
We also encourage organizers to open the workshops to conference 
attendees without a workshop paper, but who would be interested in 
participating.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal and wish to discuss your 
ideas prior to the submission deadline, the workshop chairs welcome any 
inquiries. You can contact workshop chairs at 
WorkshopTutorial2019 at mum-conf.org.

Workshop proposal submissions should be in the SIGCHI Proceedings 
Format. Submissions should be three pages or less (excluding 
references), detailing your goals for the workshop, how you plan to run 
the workshop, and any planned outcomes. Workshop proposal submissions 
contain an abstract that is less than 150 words long that clearly states 
the purpose of the workshop. Submissions must be sent by email to the 
Workshop chairs (workshoptutorial2019 at mum-conf.org). Submissions will by 
juried by the Workshop chairs. Accepted workshop proposals will be 
included in the conference proceedings published by ACM Press and 
included in the ACM Digital Library.

Workshop Proposal Submission deadline: September 1, 2019
