MUM 2025, the 24th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia

Enna, Italy, December 1-4, 2025

MUM is an interdisciplinary forum for presenting the advances in research of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems, applications, and services. At MUM, academics and practitioners gather to discuss challenges and achievements in this field from diverse perspectives, such as interaction techniques, user research, system development, software solutions, and devices. This year's edition aims to continue the tradition of innovation and excellence in research established by previous MUM conferences.

The MUM poster track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their early-stage and ongoing work on mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems, services, interactions, and experiences. The submissions can also describe preliminary research results that have not been fully designed, implemented, or tested but show great promise, summarise small-scale studies, or introduce novel, challenging, or provoking research directions. Posters provide the opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their work to the MUM community in an informal manner, receive valuable feedback on their research, discuss potential collaborations, and address topical issues.

TOPICS

Topics of interest are those defined for the main paper conference track. They include, but are not limited to:

• Prototypes and systems tackling relevant technical challenges
• Novel applications for mobile and ubiquitous gaming, learning, entertainment, social networking, and advertising
• Augmented, mixed, and virtual reality systems and applications
• Case studies, field trials, or user experience evaluations of new applications and services
• Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services
• Metrics and measures for evaluating and testing mobile and ubiquitous systems
• Privacy and security-related challenges to multimedia systems
• Social implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems
• Interaction and collaboration with human-centered AI systems
• Tools and development environments for building mobile, wearable, and ubiquitous multimedia systems
• User interfaces, interaction design, and interaction techniques for mobile and ubiquitous systems
• Interaction design for automotive and other modes of transportation
• Fabrication and device prototyping

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Format

Poster submissions should be maximum 3 pages long (excluding references), and should contain an abstract of maximum 150 words, that clearly states the poster's contribution to the field. The submission should be prepared as a PDF file, in single-column format, using either Word or LaTeX ACM Primary Article Templates. If LaTeX is used, single-column mode should be configured by using \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} as document class setting.

Anonymization

Submissions should be anonymized and will undergo a double-blind review process. They must be original work and should not have been previously published or be concurrently under submission elsewhere. Citations to the authors’ own previous work are NOT allowed to be anonymised. This allows reviewers to ensure all previous research has been taken into account. However, authors should refer to their own prior work in the third person. For example, "Smith et al. [1] did ... " instead of "We did ... [1]". Papers that violate the anonymization policy, including within the supplemental materials or external links to datasets, code repositories, etc., will be desk rejected.

Submission and Follow-Up Steps if Accepted

Poster papers must be submitted via EasyChair. The submissions will undergo a rigorous review process managed by the poster chairs. The authors of the accepted submissions will receive instructions about the format requirements for the poster. They are also expected to bring the posters to the conference site with them and be present throughout the posters session.

Final camera-ready versions of accepted submissions must be accompanied by a signed copyright form. Accepted posters will appear in the Proceedings of the International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia. The proceedings will be available in the ACM Digital Library, where they will be accessible to thousands of researchers and practitioners worldwide.

Authors are encouraged to submit an optional video with a maximum duration of 3 minutes to support their submission, which will be published in the ACM Digital Library alongside accepted papers as additional material. To ensure videos can be viewed by all reviewers, authors should preferably use 720p or 1080p resolution, H.264 encoding and the MP4 file format. To accommodate the upload limits of EasyChair (max. 50 MB per file), the bit rate of videos can be lowere.

Please be aware that ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library, unless one of their co-authors' institutions is a member or they qualify for a waiver. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.

Use of Generative AI

Authors must adhere to the ACM Policy on Authorship regarding the use of generative AI in submissions. Authors are responsible for all content produced (including plagiarism, misrepresentation, or fabrication) by these tools and must disclose their use.
