held in conjunction with the MobileHCI 2010 conference
Sept. 7th 2010, Lisboa, Portugal
http://mobilehci2010.di.fc.ul.pt

IMPORTANT DATES
===============
Paper submissions: April 30th, 2010
Notification: May 14th, 2010
Camera-ready version: May 21st, 2010
TSMPAD workshop: September 7th, 2010

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
=====================
We are interested in software tools, which support the designer of a mobile or pervasive application in the development process, e.g., task and requirements analysis, conceptual design, prototyping, and evaluation.
We are looking for contributions that address the following questions:

- Which software tools are currently available to support the design and development of mobile and pervasive applications?
- What are the benefits and the shortcomings of available tools?
- What are the experiences of designers and developers concerning available tools?
- How can the design process be methodically improved?
- Which new tools and methods are emerging?
- What are the expectations and challenges for the next years?

TOPICS
======
Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to) basic research on tool support for:
- early stages of the development process (e.g. modelling of the users’ needs, use cases for pervasive applications, conceptual design)
- rapid prototyping and automated usability evaluation
- cooperative (user-centred) design between professionals and end users
- pervasive (cross-device) user interfaces and smart environments
- heterogenic landscape of mobile devices and settings

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
=================
Papers should have a length of about 2-6 pages.
The format of the printed submissions must conform to the two-column ACM MobileHCI2010 Format and be submitted in PDF format.
Workshop attendees must register for the whole mobile HCI 2010 conference.
