MobileHCI

The MobileHCI series started in 1998 as a stand-alone Workshop on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices organized by Chris Johnson and held at the University of Glasgow.

[5] In the following year the workshop was held in conjunction with the Interact conference and was organized by Stephen Brewster and Mark Dunlop.

In 2002, MobileHCI was held independently from an associated conference as a stand-alone symposium in Pisa, Italy, organized by Fabio Paternò.

For 2008 the conference's steering committee agreed to award a prize for the most influential paper published at MobileHCI ten years ago.

The 2008 prize was awarded to Keith Cheverst for the paper Exploiting Context in HCI Design for Mobile Systems written together with Tom Rodden, Nigel Davies, and Alan Dix.

The conference's general chairs were Marco de Sá and Luís Carriço from the University of Lisboa.

The 13th in the series was chaired by Markus Bylund (Swedish Institute of Computer Science) and Maria Holm (Mobile Life Centre) with Oskar Juhlin and Ylva Fernaeus also from Mobile Life Centre as programme chairs.

[11] In 2018, the conference's steering committee agreed to award a prize for the most impactful paper published at MobileHCI in the 20 years conference series ("Impact Award") to the paper by Matthias Böhmer, Brent Hecht, Johannes Schöning, Antonio Krüger and Gernot Bauer on mobile application usage.

During the tutorial days, a number of well-known researchers in Mobile HCI gave overviews of the state of the art and cover many of the relevant topics.
