First International Workshop P2P CDVE - International Workshop on P2P Collaborative Distributed Virtual Environments http://www.onthemove-conferences.org/index.php/p2pcdve2010 Hersonissou, Crete, Greece in conjunction with On The Move 2010 October 27-29, 2010 ** Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag ** Collaborative Distributed Virtual Environments (CDVE) enable geographically distant users to echange information, communicate and collaborate. CDVE are currently exploited in different areas, from videoconferences, shared whiteboards and computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) to distributed simulations like military or civil protection distributed simulations for training and massively multiplayer online games (MMOG). MMOG like World of Warcraft or Second Life, are currently gaining increasingly attention in the software market. Currently the client server model is still the reference computational model for this kind of applications, but approaches based on the P2P model have recently been proposed. In the client server architecture a single server is responsible of guaranteeing the consistency and the persistency of the state of the CDVE. The server notifies the update of the state to the interested users. The main disadvantages of this solution is the low level of robustness and of scalability due to the presence of the single server. The definition of a fully distributed architecture for CDVE is an actual challenge because of the complexity of these applications which integrate networks, graphics and AI techniques. On the other hand, the adoption of a distributed computational model is mandatory to overcome the low scalability of client server architectures. P2P architectures are a promising alternative architecture for this kind of applications. Several issues have to be solved to define a fully distributed architecture for these applications. The most important are related, for instance, to the management and the consistency of the state in a fully distributed environment and to the security of the system. Researcher from academy and industry are invited to submit a paper related to the following topics P2P Overlays for Collaborative Distributed Virtual Environments Scalability State Consistency State Persistency Security and Privacy Content Streaming Cheating Prevention Techniques Responsiveness Hybrid Architetures Implementation Issues Workshop Program Commette Laura Ricci, University of Pisa, Italy (chair) Fabrizio Baiardi, University of Pisa, Italy Ranieri Baraglia, ISTI, CNR, Pisa, Italy Abdennour El Rhalibi, Liverpool John Moores University, United Kingdom Stefano Ferretti, University of Bologna,Italy Behnoosh Hariri, University of Ottawa, Canada Stephan Krause, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Alberto Montresor, University of Trento Raffaele Perego, ISTI, CNR, Pisa, Italy Marco Roccetti, University of Bologna, Italy Gregor Schiele, University of Mannheim, Germany Domenico Talia, Univeristy of Calabria, Italy Arno Wacker, University of Duisburg, Germany Shun Yun Hu, Academia Sinica, Taiwan IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission Deadline: Jun 15, 2010 Paper Submission Deadline:Jun 30, 2010 Acceptance Notification:Jul 30, 2010 Camera Ready Due:Aug 13, 2010 Registration Due: Sep 3, 2010 Workshop Date: October 25, 2010 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression.
