Call for papers: Mobile-CH 16: Workshop on Mobile access to Cultural
Heritage

(http://mobilech2016.di.unito.it/)

Mobile-CH will be the meeting point between state of the art in Cultural
Heritage (CH) research and personalization - using any kind of technology,
while focusing on mobile scenarios, to enhance the personal experience in
cultural heritage sites. The workshop is aimed at bringing together
researchers and practitioners who are working on various aspects of cultural
heritage and are interested in exploring the potential of state of the art
of mobile technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance the CH visit
experience. The expected result of the workshop is a multidisciplinary
research agenda that will inform future research directions and hopefully,
forge some research collaborations.

Cultural heritage has traditionally been a privileged area for
personalization research. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing
to experience and learn new things, usually without a clear idea of what to
expect. CH sites are typically rich in objects and information, much more
than the visitor can absorb during the limited time of a visit. The
evolution and convergence of technologies for managing and integrating Open
Data, and for delivering mobile services, open new opportunities for mobile
personalization research, which has the potential to improve the
presentation of information, the exploration of content and the discovery of
events interesting for the specific user/group, the collaboration among
users having similar interests, as well as the adaptation to heterogeneous
user contexts and devices. It could improve the interaction and experience
of visitors both on CH websites and with CH guide systems. Visitors to CH
sites differ and their visit experience involves a combination of the
physical, the personal, and the socio-cultural context and identity-related
aspects. Hence they may benefit from individualized support that takes into
account contextual and personal attributes. Personalization also relates to
collaboration in the preservation, enrichment and access to cultural
heritage by considering crowd-sourcing techniques, based on   active
involvement of a broad range of people to enhance the management of cultural
heritage information.

This workshop is inherently interdisciplinary and integrates computer and
information sciences with cultural heritage disciplines. It brings all these
disciplines together in creative and critical dialogue and we invite papers
that include but are not limited to the following topics.

Topics: Any work which is at the same time relevant to the Mobile HCI 2016
general list of topics, and that is being applied to cultural heritage is
relevant to the workshop. Specific topics of interest, when applied to
cultural heritage are:

*        <http://eventseer.net/t/navigation/> Navigation and browsing in
