Notification of review decisions: October 9, 2015
Conference dates: November 30 - December 2, 2015

MUM is a distinguished forum for advances in research and technologies
that drive innovation in mobile and multimedia systems, applications,
and services. At MUM academics and practitioners gather to discuss
challenges and achievements from diverse perspectives, in a single
track conference format. This year's conference aims to continue the
tradition of innovation and excellence in research established by
previous MUM conferences. In addition to the peer-reviewed accepted
papers, the conference program will include keynote presentations,
posters, demos, videos and a doctoral school.

We welcome high quality full and short paper submissions that offer an
original contribution relevant to the field of mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia. Successful full paper submissions typically represent a
significant advance for the field. Short papers offer a focused
contribution to the research program. Short papers are not work in
progress reports but offer completed, rigorously researched/developed
work that makes a significant contribution to the field of mobile and
ubiquitous multimedia. Short papers are likely to have a smaller scope
of contribution than full papers, but they are expected to make a solid
contribution to the field. Paper topics could include, but are not
limited to the following:

- Mobile and ubiquitous multimedia applications and systems
- Mobile user interfaces, interaction design and techniques
- Mobile games, entertainment and advertising
- Mobile social network and multimedia services
- Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services
- Mobile Augmented Reality systems and applications
- Architectures, systems, and algorithms tackling technical challenges
of mobile systems
- Middleware and distributed computing support for mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia
- Tools and development systems for building mobile and ubiquitous
multimedia systems
- Case studies, field trials, and user experience evaluations of new
applications and services
- Social and privacy implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia
systems

We welcome submission of high quality papers, either in full paper
format (max. 10 pages ACM format) or short paper format (max. 4 pages
ACM format), that describe original and unpublished research advancing
the state of the art in mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. Papers should
be grounded in existing mobile and ubiquitous multimedia literature and
knowledge, and should be written for an interdisciplinary mobile and
ubiquitous multimedia audience.

Submissions should not have been previously published or be concur-
rently under submission elsewhere. Papers must be anonymized. Submitted
papers will undergo a rigorous review process, managed by the Technical
Program Chairs. Accepted full and short papers as well as demo, poster
and video submissions will be included in the conference proceedings
published by ACM Press and included in the ACM Digital Library. Final
camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be accompanied by a
signed copyright form.

We welcome you to submit to MUM 2015!
