Workshop
Topic
This workshop
aims to provide a forum for the discussion of human-factors issues related to
the design and evaluation of collaborative applications for mobile ad-hoc and
personal-area networks. In particular, it tries to advance the understanding of
how ad-hoc network applications can facilitate spontaneous collaboration.
The emergence
of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) creates opportunities for new forms of mobile
collaboration involving interaction between people who are co-located and
organized in an unforeseeable way. The acceptance of MANET devices will depend
on the applications they facilitate and the social benefits they provide.
Workshop topics
include, but are not limited to:
 |
Presence-based
and face-to-face collaboration |
|
Support
for opportunistic meetings |
|
Spontaneous
collaboration |
|
Mobile
and wearable communities |
|
Groupware
for mobile collaboration |
|
Security
and privacy aspects |
|
Usability aspects |
|
Social impacts |
|
Taxonomies
of ad hoc collaboration |
|
Design
and evaluation methods |
|
The intention
of this workshop is to bring together researchers from a wide variety of
disciplines such as CSCW, HCI, Mobile/Wearable Computing, Ubiquitous/Distributed
Computing and Wireless Networking, to discuss issues related to the design,
development, and evaluation of MANET applications.
Submissions
and Deadline
Participants
will be selected based on a 4-page position paper describing their interests or
ongoing research in the field. Send submissions in PDF or postscript format to
Gerd Kortuem at kortuem@cs.uoregon.edu by
January 25th, 2002.
We plan to
publish accepted submissions as part of workshop proceedings.
