            First International Workshop on Mobile Social Signal Processing
                               
                                        http://sspnet.eu/2010/03/mssp/

                                        Lisbon - September 7th, 2010
                                   In conjunction with Mobile HCI 2010


Mission
Given their status as a preeminent form of social interaction, mobile phone 
conversations
have been the subject of relatively limited investigation, in terms of social 
behavior. This
leaves open a major gap when two important developments take place. On one hand,
Mobile HCI often deals with advanced mobile phones containing a large number of 
sensors
(e.g., GPS, accelerometers, magnetometers, capacitive touch) and with 
sufficient processing
power to capture with unprecedented richness behavior and context of users 
(e.g., position,
movement, hand grip, proximity of social network members, gait type, auditory 
context). On
the other hand, the computing community, in particular Social Signal Processing 
(SSP), makes
significant efforts towards automatic understanding (via analysis of verbal and 
nonverbal behavior)
of social interactions captured with multiple sensors.

This workshop bridges the above mentioned gap by gathering SSP and Mobile HCI 
researchers.
Cross-pollination will identify research questions at the frontier between the 
two domains bringing
significant novelty in both SSP and Mobile HCI.

Important Dates
Full paper submission: May 30th, 2010
Notification of Acceptance: June 20th, 2010
Camera ready paper submission: June 30th, 2010
Workshop: September 7th, 2010

Workshop articles will be published in a volume of the Springer LNCS series and 
participants are
expected to submit six to eight pages long papers in LNCS/LNAI format.

Topics
Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
.    Conversational behavior analysis
.    Social Location and Context - measurement, analysis and use
.    SSP in design of mobile interactions
.    SSP in mobile entertainment and wellbeing
.    Databases and SSP  based content retrieval
.    Cognitive modeling, automatic understanding, and synthesis of social 
phenomena

General Chairs
Alessandro Vinciarelli (University of Glasgow/Idiap Research Institute)
Rod Murray-Smith (University of Glasgow)
Herve' Bourlard (Idiap Research Institute/EPFL)
