Title: Smartphone based on-device computing for societal applications (hybrid)
Organizers: Kalyan Sasidhar, Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, India
Abstract:

The past few years have witnessed a tremendous rise in human-smartphone interactions. Users download and interact with millions of applications ranging from productivity, entertainment to health, including physical and mental. Usually, a server at the edge or cloud is a computing device for many applications. However, the processing power of smartphones is at par with desktop PCs thanks to the quad-core and hexa-core processors and faster clock speeds. In this tutorial, we first discuss the evolution of smartphone computing power over the past decade. We then present the experimental design and on-device computing challenges through two case studies namely - smartphone-based indoor localization based on ambient magnetic fields and a mental health tracking application. We follow the discussion with some user experience study findings of both apps. The presentation will conclude with open research challenges in such studies.

What is a MobileHCI Tutorial?

MobileHCI tutorials are in-depth presentations of fundamental or state-of-the-art topics presented by researchers or practitioners within the field of MobileHCI, which is about effective interaction with and through mobile devices, applications, and services. The tutorials empower attendees to learn new skills and offer possibilities to meet new people and discuss topics of shared interest. The scope for tutorials is broad and includes topics, such as new technologies, research approaches and methodologies, design practices, user/consumer insights, investigations into new services/applications/interfaces, statistics, and much more. Virtual or Augmented Reality, wearable computing, and generally applications with technology on the go in mind are highly recommended.

A tutorial should focus on its topic in detail and include references to the "must-read" papers or materials within its domain. A participatory approach in which the tutorial participants actively engage in exercises is welcomed, though not required. The expected audience will vary in terms of prior knowledge, but will largely consist of researchers, PhD students, practitioners, and educators. Tutorial proposal submissions by industrials are welcomed as well.

The overall conference theme in 2023 is "Beyond morality: Ethics and action in MobileHCI", so we invite tutorials to discuss ethical aspects in their work, as part of their problem definitions, system design, experiment design, instrument and metric adoption and conclusions.

In your proposal please include:

• The title of the tutorial
• Length of the tutorial (recommended at least one hour, three hours maximum)
• Learning goals of the tutorial
• The intended audience(s) of the tutorial
• The covered topics and the depths to which you will cover them
• Overview of the materials provided to the participants
• A brief biography of the instructor(s)
• Information on the delivery model of the tutorial (e.g., in presence or hybrid). A tutorial with physical presenter(s) are highly recommended.

Selection Process

Curated, i.e. the tutorial chairs will review the submissions and decide on acceptance

Anonymity

Tutorials are not submitted anonymously, i.e. instructors do not remove their names and affiliations from their submission materials.

Publication

Accepted tutorial proposals will be included in the Conference Adjunct Proceedings. ACM will send you a copyright form, which you have to complete.
