MUM 2023, the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia will be held in Vienna, Austria, December 3rd - 6th.

Workshops

The International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM 2023) welcomes proposals for workshops. A MUM Workshop is a forum for attendees with shared interests to present, discuss, and develop new ideas around a specific theme or domain related to Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia. It is the perfect opportunity for putting the best minds in the field together to build new communities, to explore new ideas, and to develop emerging topics.

All workshops will take place on Sunday, the first day of the conference (Seminar rooms with equipment will be provided), on the 3rd of December. Because workshops are meant to encourage ideas exchange, we encourage proposals that go beyond being a mini-conference and that engage participants in hands-on activities and in discussion. We also encourage organisers to open the workshops to conference attendees without a workshop paper, but who would be interested in participating.

For the first time at MUM, workshop proposals will be peer-reviewed and archived in the ACM digital library. By that, we hope to attract a higher number of high-quality workshops at MUM.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal and wish to discuss your ideas prior to the submission deadline, the workshop chairs welcome any inquiries. You can contact us at workshoptutorial2023@mum-conf.org.

Workshop proposal submissions should be in the ACM Primary Article Template. Submissions should be 6 pages or less (excluding references), describing your goals for the workshop, how you plan to run the workshop, and any anticipated long-term outcomes that will impact the field. Additionally, include information on how you will publish your call and reach out to potential participants. Workshop proposal submissions contain an abstract that is less than 150 words long that clearly states the purpose of the workshop. Submissions will be peer reviewed by experts in the field. Submissions must be submitted via EasyChair. Please select Workshops and Tutorials track in EasyChair. Accepted workshop proposals will be included in the conference proceedings published by ACM Press and included in the ACM Digital Library.

Recommended timeline for internal workshops submissions

Upon Acceptance of your MUM Workshop or Tutorial

• Workshop organisers will be notified of acceptance or rejection by the notification date.
• Final acceptances for participants’ submissions must be completed by the acceptance deadline. This will give participants enough time for early registration to the conference.

Before the Conference

Organisers of the accepted workshops are responsible for the following tasks during the time leading up to the conference:

• Announce/disseminate their Workshop: Organisers of an accepted workshop must set up and maintain their own website in which they provide further and updated information about their workshop. The workshop page will be linked to from the official MUM workshop site.
• Solicit Submissions from Potential Participants: While some organizers may choose alternate formats, a position paper is generally 2-4 pages long and outlines the submitter’s view on the workshop theme and the reasons for the submitter’s interest in the topic. Proceedings of the workshop's submissions will be in charge of the workshop organizers. Commonly, the workshop's proceedings are included on each workshop's webpage.
• Select Participants: Choose participants on the basis of position papers submitted and your goals for the workshop.
• Workshop organizers and participants have to register for the conference.
• Provide a Participant List: A list of confirmed participants should be sent to the Workshop & Tutorials Chairs (workshoptutorial2023@mum-conf.org).
• Develop a final agenda of workshop activities.
• Develop a plan for any follow-up activities.

Some example workshops from previous years include:
