The increased power, portability, and ubiquitous connectivity of mobile devices are causing a fundamental shift in how we interact with digital content. The graphics and interactivity that once was only possible with desktop computers is now in the palm of the hand, and can be experienced almost anywhere. Increasingly sophisticated development environments, easy market access through application stores, and widespread device availability are creating new opportunities for a wide range of developers to participate in a global market growing to more than $35 billion annually.

The Symposium on Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications at SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 is a venue for both industry and academia to explore the opportunities and challenges of mobile applications relevant to the global graphics community. The program aims to cover the development, technology, and marketing of mobile graphics and interactive applications. It will especially highlight novel uses of graphics and interactivity on mobile devices.

Attendees can expect to be exposed to the latest in mobile graphics and interactive applications through expert keynote talks, paper presentations, panel discussions, industry case studies, and hands-on demonstrations.

At this year's program, we call for participation in the following five categories:
* Presentations: A focused presentation on a specific novel topic related to interesting mobile applications and scenarios
* Industry Cases: A talk focused on applied industry scenarios, from technical to production and marketing cases
* Demonstrations: Live demonstrations of new mobile technology and applications
* Panels: A multi-speaker presentation and discussion on a particular area
* Tutorials: A hands-on, how-to session for current mobile technologies and tools

We are seeking submissions on the following topics:
* Mobile gaming
* Mobile social networking
* Mobile user interfaces and interactivity techniques
* Marketing of applications and leveraging app stores
* Building a mobile applications business
* Mobile cameras and image processing
* Mobile location-based services
* Use of GPU hardware in mobile computing
* Augmented reality on mobile platforms
* Cross-platform application development tools and standards
* Innovative use of mobile sensors
* Visualization on mobile devices
* Industry case study of bringing a product to market

We also welcome submissions from other areas that are relevant to Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications.

Contributors will be able to present their work in one of the following formats:
* Presentations: A 20-minute talk by a single speaker
* Industry Cases: A 20-minute talk by up to two speakers
* Demonstrations: A two-hour hands-on demo session
* Panels: A 60 minute multi-speaker presentations and discussion
* Tutorials: A 45-minute hands-on tutorial

Please contact the Symposium on Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications Chair if you would like to consider other formats. The program committee also reserves the right to alter the length of each timeslot based on content and in order to better balance the schedule.

All submitters of Presentations and Industry Cases are also encouraged to submit Demonstrations of their works.

Submission manuscript length:
* Presentation and Industry cases: 2 to 4 page abstract
* Demonstrations, Panels, and Tutorials: 1 page abstract

Accepted submissions will be published on the symposium proceedings and available on the ACM Digital Library.

Language:

The official language of SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 is English and consequently all presentations and content are expected to be in English.
