Research and Design Innovations for Mobile User Experience

A book edited by Dr. Kerem R?zvanog(lu (University of Galatasaray, 
Turkey) and Dr. Görkem Çetin (Turkcell)

To be published by IGI Global: http://bit.ly/IrAj1x

Introduction
Mobile user experience (UX) has gained momentum as a significant area of 
research in recent years. The emergences of mobile human-computer 
interaction (HCI) as a separate, unique field in HCI discipline with 
diverse academic activities and body of literature supports this idea. 
Although mobile devices allow users to stay connected anytime anywhere, 
diverse user groups still suffer from usability issues caused by the 
design of mobile interfaces and the limitations of mobile devices. 
Although the mobile HCI community is trying to create and adapt research 
methods, tools, and infrastructure for mobile-specific challenges and 
opportunities, there is still a limited number of studies on mobile UX, 
which addresses both researchers and professionals that work in the 
field of mobile HCI. Secondly, it is not so difficult to observe that 
the product managers in the sector of mobile communication often ignore 
usability issues and UX processes because of time and budget 
limitations. However, when it comes to delivering innovation on mobile 
devices, new philosophies, researches, and approaches should be taken 
into consideration.

Objective of the Book
This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the 
latest empirical research findings in the area. By including 
cutting-edge empirical studies and live cases from the professional 
sector, it intends to prepare a reference book for the mobile 
human-computer interaction community that will reveal key mobile user 
experience issues with solid data and guidelines and will support 
innovative mobile UX design processes.

Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be professionals and researchers 
working in the field of mobile human computer interaction e.g mobile 
user experience and usability and mobile interface design. Moreover, the 
book will provide insights and support interaction/interface designers, 
developers, product managers, UX and usability experts, digital 
marketing experts and digital strategists concerned with digital product 
and service design.
