5th International Conference on Wireless, Mobile
and Ubiquitous Technologies in Education (WMUTE 2008)

March 23-26 2008
Beijing, China

http://www.wmute2008.org/

Important Dates:

November 23, 2007 Notification of acceptance
December 23, 2007 Camera ready papers due

Call For Papers:

The rapid progress of mobile and ubiquitous technologies enables
internet connections, anytime and anywhere, with ease. Traditional
ways of
learning and teaching, happening at fixed times and places such as
schools or offices and limited with numbers of people, are changing
remarkably. Although such technologies allow people to learn in an
appropriate context, they cannot guarantee that the learning
environments we design will be successful. Issues of design,
implementation, deployment and evaluation of such technology supported
learning environments should be investigated from interdisciplinary
points of view, including computer science, educational research,
cognitive science, and so on.

WMUTE 2008 is the 5th international meeting, extending the four
previous WMTE/WMUTE workshops held in 2002 (Vaxjo, Sweden), 2004
(Taipei, Taiwan),
2005 (Tokushima, Japan) and 2006 (Athens, Greece) to become a conference
the first time. This conference provides a forum for researchers and
practitioners of this emerging area for discussing these innovative
learning technologies and challenging research issues through high
quality papers and presentations.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Innovative and practical use of wireless, mobile and ubiquitous
technologies for education, learning and training
* Adaptive and adaptable learning environments using mobile and
ubiquitous devices
* Agent support for mobile and ubiquitous learning
* Architectures and implementations of context-aware learning
technology systems
* Architectures and infrastructures for ubiquitous learning systems
* Design of learner-supportive interfaces of ubiquitous learning
applications
* Designs for wireless, mobile and ubiquitous technologies in education
* Digital tangibles or wireless sensor networks for learning
* Entertainment computing for ubiquitous learning
* Evaluation and evaluation methodologies for ubiquitous learning
environments
* Game-based learning in mobile and ubiquitous learning environments
* Innovative devices for mobile/ubiquitous learning
* Amalgamating Integrating individual and collaborative learning in
mobile and ubiquitous learning environments
* Lifelong learning support in ubiquitous/mobile environment
* Mobile and ubiquitous computing support for collaborative learning
* Mobile, ubiquitous and wireless technologies for indoor and outdoor
learning
* New pedagogical theories for ubiquitous learning environments and
society
* Virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies for ubiquitous/
mobile learning

CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Workshop on Mobile Multimedia Information Retrieval
(MoMIR 2007)
3 - 5 December 2007
Jakarta, Indonesia

In conjunction with 5th International Conference on Mobile Computing
and Multimedia (MoMM2007)
MoMIR 2006 Homepage: http://sky.fit.qut.edu.au/~tjondron/MoMIR2007.html

The rapid expansion of digital multimedia data delivered on new
generation mobile devices, such as PDA, smart phones, and portable
audiovisual player, has created new challenges for more effective
content retrieval anywhere at anytime.

MoMIR workshop is held in conjunction with the International
Conference on Mobile Computing and Multimedia. The purpose of the 2nd
International Workshop on Mobile Multimedia Information is to provide
an international forum for researchers, students, professionals, and
experts from academia and industry to present new research results,
exchange ideas, and discussion on future challenges in multimedia
information retrieval on mobile and wireless platforms.

Topics of interest

The workshop program will include invited talks, peer reviewed
technical program, demos, short papers, posters, tutorials, panels,
industrial presentations, and exhibitions.

We are soliciting original papers and proposals that address a range
of issues in multimedia information retrieval on mobile and wireless
platforms including, but not limited to:
* Content-based indexing, search and retrieval of multimedia (MM)
data for mobile applications.
* Retrieval models, query language and query processing for mobile MM
access.
* Summarisation, content representation, and visualisation of
multimedia content for pervasive devices.
* Emerging architecture to enable seamless, smooth, and reliable MM
streaming over wireless network.
* Interaction design (HCI) and user modelling in mobile MM settings.
* Security issues and solutions for mobile MM retrieval.
* Multimedia data compression techniques to enable faster MM delivery
in small and limited bandwidth.
* Innovative applications in mobile MM retrieval and collaboration.

Important Dates
