-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] Special Issue on MMOG Systems and Applications Datum: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:51:16 +0330 Von: Shervin Shirmohammadi <shervin(a)discover.uottawa.ca> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br *Call for Papers* *Massively Multiuser Online Gaming Systems and Applications* *Special Issue of* *Springer’s Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP)* *Guest Editors: *Shervin Shirmohammadi, University of Ottawa, Canada Mark Claypool, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, U.S.A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Massively Multiuser Online Games (MMOG) are now widely used not only for gaming, but also for socializing, business and commerce, experimentation, and many other practical purposes. One could argue that MMOGs are the “killer app” that can bring Virtual Reality into the realm of eSociety, creating an environment with millions of people taking part in various activities and daily life, but electronically. This is evident from the fact that real companies are opening “virtual branches” in these online gaming platforms, such as clothing manufacturers, IBM, and CNN, to name a few companies present in Second Life. Virtual currencies such as Second Life’s Linden (or L$) are already being exchanged for real-world money, as are virtual items and virtual properties that are sold for real money. Massive numbers of users spend their time with their fellow players at online games like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, and Second Life. World of Warcraft, for example, has over ten million (10,000,000) users with a peak of over 500,000 players interacting at a given time in the digital world. There is no doubt that MMOGs have a great potential to become the corner stone of an eSociety platform bringing the massiveness of the real society into the digital realm. This special issue will cover enabling technologies and systems for MMOGs, as well as applications of MMOGs outside of gaming. The focus will be mostly on the “massive” aspect of games, but high-quality papers in real-time interactive multiuser games (albeit not massive) will also be considered if they address issues that can benefit massive games too. Hence, topics include, but are not limited to: * Networking support for massive number of players * Networked games (non-massive) * P2P architectures for better scalability * Zoning techniques, Area of Interest Management, and seamless player movement * Application-Layer Multicasting for massive user support * Performance evaluation and traffic/player pattern measurements * Audio/video conferencing in games * Latency compensation techniques * Content adaptation for players on heterogeneous receivers * Cheating: detection, avoidance, and repair * Multiuser mobile games * Case studies about applications of gaming in other disciplines such as business, pedagogy, biology, psychology, etc. Only papers that have not been published and/or submitted elsewhere will be considered. Exception will be made for previously-published high-quality conference/workshop papers, as long as they have been substantially extended in terms of technical content and evaluation. Papers should be no more than 20 pages, including figures and tables, formatted according to MTAP guidelines, please see: http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-40109-70-35538244… PDF submissions must be emailed directly to BOTH the guest editors at shervin(a)discover.uottawa.ca <mailto:shervin@discover.uottawa.ca> and claypool(a)cs.wpi.edu <mailto:claypool@cs.wpi.edu> before the submission deadline below. If the submission is an extended version of a previously-published conference paper, authors must also include explanation of what parts have been extended.

Dear Colleagues, The 4th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CROWNCOM 2009) will take place on June 22nd - 24th 2009, in Hannover, Germany. The aim of this conference is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that address the various aspects of cognitive wireless systems and technologies, including a broad range of communications, networking and implementation issues. Please note that the date of CROWNCOM 2009 falls in the week immediately following another important communications event, the IEEE Communications Conference (ICC 2009), to be held in Dresden, Germany, on June 14th-18th, 2009. The Call for Papers (CFP) for CROWNCOM 2009 can be found in plain text below, and the more detailed pdf version of the CFP is also included as an attachment. The URL for the conference website is www.crowncom2009.org, which will be updated periodically. It would be great if you could post this announcement in your lab, department, or institution, and pass it to your colleagues as appropriate. We are using multiple conference mailing lists for disseminating this conference announcement, and apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of the email. Best regards, Ozgur Oyman, Intel Research CROWNCOM 2009 Publicity Chair (USA) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### CROWNCOM 2009 4th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications June 22nd - 24th 2009, Hannover, Germany http://www.crowncom2009.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ### Brief description The owned spectrum allocation model in use today is believed to be obsolete. Firstly due to its intrinsic principle of fixed resource allocation that leads to a supposed spectrum scarcity, later revealed to be a question of non-efficient utilization. Secondly comes into play the need of introducing new wireless applications and services, which have experienced a huge growth in the last couple of decades, and are now supposed to cope with a multitude of already deployed standards. Both scenarios motivate the use of dynamic spectrum access in order to turn primary licensed networks into dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs). This lends itself to cognitive radio, an enabling technology that will benefit several types of players and help to implement a more efficient approach regarding spectrum requirements in the future. The aim of this conference is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that address the various aspects of cognitive wireless systems and technologies, including a broad range of communications, networking and implementation issues. We seek original and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine or conference. ### Topics of interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Track 1 - New Trends - Regulations, standardization and implementation for Cognitive Radio - Dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs): o Secondary markets o Business models o Industrial role - Trust and security mechanisms Track 2 - Interference and Coexistence Analysis - Interference metric modeling - Beamforming, MIMO and anti-jamming channel coding as interference avoidance strategies - Radio resource management and dynamic spectrum sharing - Spectrum sensing mechanisms and protocol support - Wireless network co-existence - Ultra-Wideband cognitive radio systems Track 3 - Networks - Game theory applied to mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) - Self-organizing mesh networks and autonomic communications - Applications of cognitive networks (e.g. emergent and public safety networks) - Bio and AI-inspired algorithms - New architectures and platforms for cognitive radio & software defined radio - Radio access protocols and algorithms for the PHY, MAC, and Network layers - Cross-layer cognitive algorithms - Quality-of-service provisioning Track 4 - Research Projects - Cognitive Radio & Networks related projects are invited to present their work at CrownCom 2009. ### Co-Sponsors Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), Germany Institute of Communications Technology, LUH, Germany Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (ICST) ### Technical Co-Sponsors The European Association for Signal and Image Processing (EURASIP) Center for Research and Telecommunication Experimentation for Networked Communities (CREATE-NET) ### Important Dates Manuscript submission deadline: February 23, 2009 Tutorial proposals deadline: February 23, 2009 Special session proposals deadline: November 3, 2008 Notification of decision: April 20, 2009 Camera-ready deadline: May 4, 2009 ### Instructions for Authors Papers must represent high quality and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.
