Abstract

Mobile communication and information processing is inherently different from stationary communication and information access. Mobile contexts of use and users' personal preferences strongly affect the way in which the terminal is operated via its user interface, the quantity and quality of the service content which users need to access through the terminal, and the interconnections to other devices and services in the users' environment.User interface design for mobile communication devices has not been a major research topic in the past. It is therefore necessary to set up research to lay the foundations for "good" user interface design for this class of devices.The goal of the workshop is to create understanding of the characteristics of the environments in which mobile devices fit in the future and to elaborate on the consequences on the user interface design of future communication devices.
