[Maths-Education] CFP: Web and Mobile Mathematical Interfaces

[Jeff Hooper]

Dear Colleagues,

I am sending this announcement to the Maths Education list since there are
numerous maths education researchers who have an interest in the use of
technology in education. And we are keen to include submissions which have
an education focus.

We invite you to submit abstracts and full papers to a Special Session on
Web and Mobile Mathematical Interfaces as part of The 4th International
Congress on Mathematical Software, a satellite conference of the
International Congress of Mathematicians 2014 in Seoul.

The deadline for submission of a short abstract (200-500 words) is March
31, 2014. This may be followed by an optional full abstract (deadline April
30, 2014). A decision about acceptance will be made within a week of
submission.  Please e-mail submissions to marcopollanen at trentu.ca or
jeff.hooper at acadiau.ca.

Regards,

 Marco Pollanen, Session Co-organizer

Jeff Hooper, Session Co-organizer

==========================

4th International Congress on Mathematical Software

August 5-9, 2014

Seoul, Korea

Session: "Software, design and practice in Web and Mobile Interfaces for
Mathematics" <http://voronoi.hanyang.ac.kr/icms2014/Sessions.html>

Organizers:

=========

 Marco Pollanen (Trent University, Canada)

Aim and Scope:

============

 Since the last International Congress on Mathematical Software there has
been rapid technological innovation in human-computer interaction.
Touch-enabled interfaces, mobile devices, cloud computing, and Web 2.0 are
changing the way users engage with technology. The aim of this session is
to focus on the mathematical aspects of these: bringing together
researchers, developers and users of mathematical interfaces to explore how
evolving technologies may influence the direction of mathematical user
interface design.

Topics (including, but not limited to):

-usability studies of new or existing interfaces

-novel mathematical interfaces

-digital documents and mathematical content

-user requirements for future interfaces

-interactive and collaborative mathematical environments

-input, presentation and manipulation of mathematical content

-new models for engaging with digital mathematical content

-interface design for mobile and touch-enabled devices

Publications:

=========

 - A short abstract will appear on the permanent conference web page (see
below) as soon as accepted.

- An extended abstract will appear on the permanent conference web page
(see below) as soon as accepted. It will also appear on the proceedings
that will be distributed during the meeting.

- A journal special issue consisting of full papers is planned. Details for
submission will be communicated by the session organizers immediately after
the meeting.

Deadlines:

========

 Short Abstract submission deadline:    March 31, 2014.

Extended Abstract submission deadline (optional):    April 30, 2014.
