In this workshop, we explore novel applications, services, tools, and systems that take advantage of the audio channel on mobile devices to feed users with a flow of information. We call for innovative ideas to introduce ambient context-aware, location-aware, and/or social audio as a more effective means of communicating information and providing experiences to mobile users.

We are interested in submissions of novel, previously not published work on relevant topics including:

* Hands-free LBS
* Location-aware Music/News/Audio
* Car/Bike/Walk/Run Audio Guides
* Pervasive Games
* Applications for Vision Impaired
* Real-time Audio and Location-casting

The workshop is a half-day, hands-on, mix of presentations, discussions and demos. Each participant is expected to present and discuss his/her submission. Interested participants are encouraged to present demos, e.g. sound experiences.

The best workshop paper will receive an award, and all the accepted papers and presentations will be published on-line on the workshop web page. The goal is to create a community around this new and exciting area among practitioners and researchers and to foster further collaboration.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit workshop position papers (max 4 pages) using the ACM MobileHCI submission format for short papers at http://www.mobilehci2011.org/node/45.

Papers should be submitted through the EasyChair conference system at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iws2011.

The papers should present novel ideas and concrete implementations of innovative mobile sound interaction solutions. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers and evaluated based on their originality, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the workshop.

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2011 MobileHCI conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
Submission of a position paper implies that at least one author is willing to present the paper and register for the workshop as well as the MobileHCI conference.
