* MUM 2023, the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia | Vienna, Austria, December 3-6, 2023 *
* MUM 2023, the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia, will be held in Vienna, Austria, December 3rd – 6th. MUM is an interdisciplinary forum for advances in research of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems, applications, and services. As part of the Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM) conference, we conduct a joint seminar for PhD students from the various sub-disciplines related to mobile media, ubiquitous computing, and human-computer interaction. The doctoral consortium (DC) will take place on-site on Sunday, Dec 3, 2023, before the main conference.
* The DC will be an opportunity for a small group of PhD students to meet and discuss their work with each other and with a panel of experienced researchers in the field, in an informal and interactive setting. We welcome applications from current PhD students studying in any area of relevance to the MUM community. PhD students at any stage of the PhD can apply. Depending on the stage the DC may provide helpful feedback for narrowing down a topic, discussing methodological and technical aspects of the ongoing research, or on the framing and presentation of the results in a thesis.
* Submission Guidelines*
* To apply for participation in the DC, we ask you to submit a 2-4 pages long paper in Word or LaTeX (using the ACM Primary Article Template)<https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/taps-production-…>. The paper should describe the context and motivation of your PhD research, the problem and aims that drive your research and your research objectives, hypothesis, and/or questions. It should further describe and explain your (proposed) research approach and methods, and include a discussion of results you may already have. Please also include the context of your PhD, i.e., the university programme in which you conduct your PhD, the status of your PhD, the expected completion date, and any other relevant information on your PhD situation.
* Submissions will not be peer-reviewed. We will select students for participation with a view of prioritising those who would likely benefit most. Accepted students will be asked to prepare a presentation on their PhD research, and a poster which will be included in the MUM 2023 poster track. Submissions must be submitted via e-mail to dc.mum2023(a)hcilab.org<mailto:dc.mum2023@hcilab.org>. For accepted doctoral consortium submissions, the author can select if s/he wants the submission to be included to the conference proceedings.
* If you are invited to participate, you must register regularly for the day of the PhD seminar or for the whole conference – or apply to participate free of charge as a student volunteer.
Your submission should be 2-4 pages. Please use the template and include the following:
* Your name, Advisor(s) name(s), and the university where you are conducting your doctoral work. Submissions should NOT be anonymous.
* Current year of study and projected completion date (plus information about the regulations of your PhD program regarding length, any part-time study, etc.)
Please address the following questions if applicable for you research:
* Which problem do you solve? Why is this problem important? What do you want to find out?
* Which steps do you plan to take, and how do you evaluate your results?
* Which research papers (not more than 3) are related most to your research? How does your work differ?
* What have you found out so far? What’s next?
* What’s still missing? Where do you need help? Where would you want to collaborate?
*Submissions must be submitted via e-mail to dc.mum2023(a)hcilab.org.<mailto:dc.mum2023@hcilab.org>*

Cari Tutti,
è con molto piacere che faccio le mie congratulazioni a due nuovi
professori ordinari in università italiane:
Rosa Lanzilotti, che da qualche giorno ha preso servizio all'Università
di Bari;
Maristella Matera, che ha avuto oggi la chiamata dal suo Dipartimento
del Politecnico di Milano, dovrà probabilmente aspettare settembre per
la presa di servizio.
Sono due colleghe, e amiche per tanti di noi, di cui conosciamo bene il
valore e l'impegno, non solo nella nostra comunità ma nell'università
italiana e a livello internazionale. Avere due ulteriori professoresse
di HCI ci riempie di gioia e di orgoglio. Certamente continueranno a
trainare tanti altri giovani.
Davvero una bella notizia prima delle vacanze di agosto. Cari saluti,
M. Francesca

The International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM 2023) 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 Sunday, the first day of the conference (Seminar rooms with equipment will be provided), on the 3rd of December. 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 discussion. We also encourage organisers to open the workshops to conference attendees without a workshop paper, but who would be interested in participating.
All tutorials will take place on the Sunday before the conference, on the 3rd of December and you can choose between three formats: 90min, half-day, or full-day. 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.
