Der Workshop hat IEEE Proceedings, Einreichungsschluss ist der 30.Juni. Herzliche Grüße Gregor Schiele_____________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS The 4th International Workshop on Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE 2011) at the 10th IEEE International Symposium on Audio-Visual Environments and Games (HAVE 2011) October 14-17, 2011 Nanchang, JiangXi Province, China http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE11/___________________________________________… Massively Multiuser Virtual Environment (MMVE) systems are spatial simulations that provide real-time human interactions among thousands to millions of concurrent users. MMVEs have experienced phenomenal growth in recent years in the form of massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) such as World of Warcraft and Lineage, and social communities such as Second Life and Hobbo Hotel. The technical aspect of designing, developing, and deploying them is highly interdisciplinary and involves experts from many domains, including graphics, networking, protocol and architecture designs. The MMVE workshop intends to provide a forum for both academic researchers and industry developers to investigate the architectural and system support for MMVEs. By gathering experts under one roof, we wish to discuss their findings, incite collaborations, and move the state of the art forward. Topics ------ The workshop seeks to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in the field, and encourages discussions based on the presented papers to identify current and future research topics. Some key and emerging issues we would especially like to solicit are: 1. The integration with casual, social networking systems. Recently there has been a surge of casual social games on social networking sites such as Facebook, with tens of millions of active users. While many of them are not yet real-time in nature, providing massive real-time interactions may only be a matter of time. How will such systems emerge or be designed? Additionally, many 3D chatrooms / instant messengers are now appearing (e.g., IMVU, Club Cooee, Game Xiu). While most interactions are limited as room-based small-group interactions, the total concurrent users may also reach critical sizes given their casual nature (e.g., IMVU has already over 1 million active accounts). How should such systems be supported and scale? 2. The adoption of parallelism to increase scale. Fast GPU and multi-core processors are now becoming common commodity. How will this hardware trend impact MMVE server-cluster design? And how should P2P approaches for MMVE take advantage of the increased power at client-side? Additionally, home set-top boxes with large local storage and broadband Internet connections are becoming household commodities, how will this trend impact the ways MMVEs be delivered (perhaps via content streaming) or architected? 3. Interoperable MMVE standards and protocols. As the market for virtual world increases and matures, efforts to provide interoperable user experience across multiple virtual environments have also intensified. For example, initiatives are ongoing to form IETF working groups on defining virtual world standard protocols (e.g., MMOX and VWRAP ). Part of any standard process is the identification of common features and requirements. What are the common features and requirements in MMVE that may be modeled and abstracted to facilitate such standardization effort? And are there working protocols that already exist in current systems? We would like to invite such experience sharing and discussions. The workshop thus will address the following issues: 1. Scalability: the ability to handle at least thousands of concurrent users, interacting via Internet. 2. Interactivity: how to provide responsive, near real time interactions despite latency and jitter. 3. Consistency: providing consistent views for users, despite the inherent delay in state updates. 4. Persistency: the ability to save and access the world states despite disconnections and failures. 5. Security and privacy: distributed algorithms that allow secure interactions and privacy guarantees. 6. Interoperability: integration of multiple systems or providers with common protocols or clients. 7. Bandwidth restricted (mobile) devices: the integration of mobile devices for nomadic systems. 8. Self-organizing architectures: load balancing and fault tolerance without manual configurations. 9. Content streaming: voice communication and 3D content streaming. 10. Implementation issues: novel approaches to effectively manage the complexity of development. Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Paper submissions must cover one of the topics listed above, or a closely- related one. Submitted papers should be at most 6 pages long and *must be blinded*. Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed (double-blind) and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Submissions in PDF format must be submitted online through the workshop page at http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE11/ no later than June 30th, 2011. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. All accepted MMVE papers will be indexed in IEEE Xplore, included as part of IEEE HAVE 2011 proceedings. If you have any questions, please email us at mmve(a)peers-at-play.org.

The term smart objects in this case refer to everyday objects of all kinds and makes that are enhanced with computational intelligence and the capability to communicate with it other and online services. In many cases communication is based on wireless sensor networks integrated with an object, such as parts of a building, a logistic good, a vehicle or sensors in the environment. In other cases, communication is based on a hybrid approach with part of the network being infrastructure-based and the rest self-organized. Smart objects incorporate monitoring and control functions and need to communicate with each other and to gateways. They are an essential part of cyber-physical systems and can find multifaceted applications in fields such as logistics, smart buildings, intelligent transport, and smart city applications such as traffic management. These smart objects will play a dominant role in the Future Internet. Managing such smart objects requires algorithms and approaches based, in part, on general approaches discussed in the MONAMI Conference. However, the workshop will go one step further and consider, in particular: * Energy-efficient, self-organized access and routing schemes for smart object systems * Testbeds and experimental evaluation of services based on smart objects * Service and application management platforms for a variety of applications, e.g. smart cities * Autonomic network monitoring and management for smart object networks * Future Internet Architectures with smart objects All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member to ensure high quality and relevance to the topics of the Conference.

This results in a new paradigm on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications towards the Future Internet of Things (IoT). M2M communications offer a potential solution to the already saturated telecommunications market, with new services and applications, such as smart city, smart grid, intelligent transportation, e-healthcare, remote monitoring, and logistics. Such services and applications open a mass market and several business opportunities, whilst transforming the way communication systems are defined and operate. This requires development of novel solutions to efficiently serve a huge number of devices that interact autonomously at a global level. It also opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, cost-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, and security. Main Topics of Interest This workshop aims to gather researchers, engineers and practitioners both from academia and industry (universities, research centers, network operators, regulatory bodies, service providers), as well as end users, to present and debate advanced M2M communication systems, technologies, and applications, with the perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, and IETF. Specifically, but not exclusively, the workshop proposes to address the following topics related to M2M communication: - Scalable system architecture and components - Radio access technologies and protocols - Spectrum management for M2M - Resource management for energy-harvesting devices - Channel and traffic models - Internetworking protocols and mechanisms - Cloud support for M2M applications - Device management for M2M - Data and service management for M2M - Semantic technologies for M2M - Mobility management for M2M - Security, trust and privacy of M2M devices and services - New M2M applications, services, and business models - Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues Important Dates Paper Submission: 7 July 2011 Acceptance Notification: 15 August 2011 Camera-Ready: 31 August 2011 Workshop Date: 9 December 2011 Author Guidelines Authors are invited to submit original contributions that were not previously published or currently under review by any other workshop, conference, or journal.
