Call for Papers:LSDVE 2016, 4rd Workshop on Large Scale Distributed
Virtual Environments.
August 2016, Grenoble (France), as part of Euro-Par 2016
(http://www.di.unipi.it/~ricci/LSDVE16/LSDVE16.html)
Proceedings will be published by Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Authors whose papers have
been accepted and presented at the workshop will be invited to submit
their extended and revised
to a special issue of Concurrency Practice and Experience.
Dates:
Submission deadline: May 6 2016
Notification of Acceptance: June 17 2016
Submission of Camera Ready: October 2, 2016
Objectives of the Workshop:
The recent advances in networking have determined an increasing use of
information technology to support interactive networked
cooperativeapplications. Several novel applications have emerged in this
area: social networks, distributed gamification applications like Nike+
or MyStarbucksRewards, collaborative learning systems, large scale crowd
based applications, collaborative work platforms. This kind of
applications can be generally referred as Large Scale Distributed
Virtual Environments (LSDVE).
The definition of these applications requires to afford several
challenges, like the design of user interfaces, coordination protocols,
and proper middle-ware and architectures supporting distributed
cooperation. Collaborative applications may greatly benefit from the
support of different kinds of platforms, both cloud and peer to peer and
also platforms recently proposed for Internet of things (IoT), like fog
computing.
Integration of different platforms, for instance mobile and cloud
environmentsis currently a challenge. Furthermore, the analysis and
validation of the huge amount of content generated by these applications
asks for big data analysis,and processing techniques. This workshop aims
to provide a venue for researchers to present and discuss important
aspects of large scale networked collaborative applications and of the
platforms supporting them. The workshop's aim is to investigate open
challenges for such applications, related to both the applications
design and to the definition of proper architectures. Some important
challenges are, for instance, collaborative protocols design, latency
reduction/hiding techniques for guaranteeing real time constraints,
large-scale processing of user information, privacy and security issues,
state consistency/persistence. The workshop will both present assessment
of current state and introduce further directions.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Interactive Networked Environments
Distributed Online Social Networks
Gamification in industry and for learning
Large Scale Crowd Based Applications
Computer Supported Collaborative Work
Massively Multiplayer Online Games
Content generation and validation
Distributed Algorithms for LSDVE
Massive-scale Big Data Processing for LSDVE
Security and Privacy in LSDVE
Distributed Platforms for collaborative applications: cloud, peer to
peer, mobile, opportunistic, fog
