Conference Scope and Description
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Mobile HCI conference is at the centre of the most expanding area of computing, i.e. the astonishing emergence of a mobile application market and the expansion of internet services to wide and mobile user groups. It is the leading conference in the field of Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services. The MobileHCI series provides a forum for academics and practitioners to discuss the challenges and potential solutions for effective interaction with mobile systems and services. It covers the design, evaluation and application of techniques and approaches for mobile and wearable computing devices and services. MobileHCI is now on its 12th Edition with some of the previous events taking place in Lisbon (2010, Bonn (2009), Amsterdam (2008), Singapore (2007), Espoo (2006), Salzburg (2005), Glasgow (2004), Udine (2003), Pisa (2002), Lille (2001), Edinburgh (1999), Glasgow (1998).
