********************************************************************************************

The mobile space is evolving at an astonishing rate. At present there are over 
4.1 billion mobile subscribers worldwide and with continued advances in 
devices, services and billing models, the mobile web looks set to inspire a new 
age of anytime, anywhere information access. The world is also witnessing an 
explosion in social web services. Online social networking sites such as 
Facebook and Twitter continue to experience huge increases in usage, with more 
and more users seeking novel ways of interacting with their friends and family.

In this workshop we are interested in the combination of these two exciting 
research spaces: the social web and the mobile web. The social mobile web is 
gaining significant momentum at present and we believe that it’s going to be a 
highly influential research area in the near future. As such this workshop will 
investigate the current state of the social mobile web. Topics of interest to 
this workshop include (but are not limited to) the following:

* Novel social interactions on mobile devices.
* Social mobile content sharing and distribution services.
* Context aware mobile services - beyond location based services.
* Social mobile search and social mobile browsing.
* User evaluations of social mobile services.
* Mobile user interfaces that incorporate social elements.
* Mobility and social networks.
* Models of mobile social behaviour and mobile traces.
* Innovative social mobile applications.

This workshop is targeted towards researchers working within the mobile web and 
social web spaces. Participants are invited to submit: (1) a short position or 
demonstration paper of 2-4 pages in length or (2) a full length technical paper 
of up to 10 pages in length. Papers should be in  ACM MobileHCI2010 Format and 
should be submitted as a PDF file via email to [email protected]. The 
best paper from the workshop will be nominated for inclusion in a Special Issue 
of the International Journal on Mobile HCI (IJMHCI). Note that at least one 
author of accepted papers needs to register and attend the workshop.
