While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The second IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley IJCS special issue on Energy-Efficient Network Protocols and Algorithms on Wireless Sensor Networks]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley IJCS special issue on Energy-Efficient Network Protocols and Algorithms on Wireless Sensor Networks Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 09:53:18 -0400 (EDT) From: Jun Zheng <vjzheng(a)site.uottawa.ca> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ========================================================== * Call for Papers * * * * A Special Issue * * of * * Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems * * on * * Energy-Efficient Network Protocols and Algorithms * * for Wireless Sensor Netowrks * * * ========================================================== Wireless sensor networking is an emerging technology that promises a wide range of potential applications in both civilian and military areas, and has therefore received tremendous attention from both academia and industry in recent years. A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a large number of inexpensive and small nodes with sensing, data processing, and communication capabilities, which are densely deployed in a region of interest and collaborate to accomplish a common task, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and industry process control. Distinguished from traditional wireless networks and ad hoc networks, WSNs are characterized of dense node deployment, unreliable sensor node, frequent topology change, and severe power, computation, and memory constraints. These unique characteristics and constraints present many new challenges to practical realization of WSNs, such as energy conservation, self-organization, fault tolerance, etc. In particular, sensor nodes are usually battery-powered and should operate without attendance for a relatively long period of time. In most cases, it is very difficult and even impossible to change or recharge batteries for these sensor nodes. For this reason, energy efficiency is of primary importance for the operational lifetime of a sensor network. To prolong the lifetime of a sensor network, energy efficiency must be considered in almost every aspect of sensor network design, not only at the physical layer but also at the link layer and the network layer. From the networking perspective, energy efficiency must be considered in the design of various network protocols and algorithms, including those for topology discovery, self-organization, medium access control, routing, data aggregation, fault-tolerance, etc. An energy-efficient network protocol or algorithm can provide significant power savings in individual sensor nodes and thus prolong the lifetime of the entire network. However, most existing network protocols and algorithms for traditional wireless ad hoc networks cannot effectively address the power constraint and other constraints of sensor networks. To realize the vision of sensor networks, it is imperative to develop various energy-efficient network protocols and algorithms in order to efficiently use the limited power in each sensor node and prolong the lifetime of the network. The aim of this special issue is to present a collection of high-quality research papers that focus on energy-efficient network protocols and algorithms for WSNs. We are soliciting original contributions that were previously unpublished and are currently not under consideration by any other journal. As applicable to this theme, topics of interests include but are not limited to: - Topology discovery and self-organization - Medium access control (MAC) - Routing and data dissemination - Multicasting, geocasting, and broadcasting - Quality of service routing - Energy and resource management - Query processing and data aggregation - Localization and time synchronization - Fault-tolerance and self-healing - Performance modeling and analysis Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the publication format described in the Instructions to Authors (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jabout/5996/ForAuthors.html). There will be only one round of technical reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers requiring only minor to moderate revisions. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscripts (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) to jzheng(a)ieee.org according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: January 1, 2006 Acceptance notification: May 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: July 1, 2006 Tentative publication date: Late 2006 Guest Editors Dr. Jun Zheng School of Information Technology and Engineering University of Ottawa 800 King Edward Street Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada Tel: (613)562-5800x6243 Fax: (613)562-5664 Email: jzheng(a)ieee.org Dr. Petre Dini Cisco Systems, Inc. 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose, CA 95134-1706, USA Tel: (408) 853-4050 Fax: (408) 527-6351 Email: pdini(a)cisco.com Prof. Abbas Jamalipour School of Electrical & Information Eng.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] LOCAN2005: Deadline extended to July 7th Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 02:34:40 +0200 From: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> To: 'IETF Manet' <manet(a)ietf.org> CC: mip6(a)ietf.org, tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear all, The deadline for the following workshop has been extended to July 7th, Please, find below the revised CFP. Regards, Pedro M. Ruiz University of Murcia http://ants.dif.um.es/staff/pedrom/ We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2005 1st International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2005 (www.mass05.wpi.edu) Washington, DC, USA, November 7-10, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline extended to July 7th. SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the researh community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The main objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Medium access control *Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks *Hybrid networks and wireless Internet *Security in ad hoc networks *Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery *Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks *Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks *Quality of service in medium access control and routing *Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks *Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: July 7, 2005 (Extended deadline) Acceptance Notification: July 29, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: August 26, 2005 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2005 workshops.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CFP] ACM MM Workshop on Service Composition Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 08:31:08 +0200 From: Christian Becker <christian.becker(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ** please apologize multiple copies of this call ** Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Service Composition (MSC’05) Singapore, November 13, 2005 http://www.l3s.de/msc05/index.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Service-oriented architectures promise to introduce a maximum of flexibility and reus-ability of components into multimedia applications. Since most multimedia applications consist of several complex steps, the composition of basic services to achieve more com-plex goals is a mission critical problem. Moreover, important parameters for QoS have to be closely monitored and aggregated along the service chains to predict or guarantee cer-tain values for the execution of complex workflows. Service composition is also a concept strongly discussed and researched in the Web community today. Web services are expected to take over an essential part of everyday’s responsibilities and their composition is necessary to extend their benefits to even com-plex tasks and value chains. However, most of these Web-based concepts and constructs today suffer from being generally invariant to data types including the new datatypes that are being heavily explored in the multimedia community. Using these well-understood and standardized datatypes the efficient provisioning and improved reusability of compo-nents becomes feasible. Thus, the move from data-driven to service-driven architectures promises to open up a whole new field of value adding multimedia applications dynami-cally built on top of basic components. MSC’05 provides a forum for presenting new challenges and research results in multime-dia service composition. Its predecessor was held in the framework of the Brave New Topics (see www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_braveMMservice.htm) at ACM Multimedia Conference 2004 in New York, USA. We invite researchers, and industrial practitioners to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. We solicit the following types of papers: * Research papers (up to 10 pages) * Application/experience papers (up to 10 pages) All accepted papers will be published by the ACM within a dedicated volume for the workshops of ACM Multimedia 2005. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- Papers should address specific challenges for service composition in multimedia systems, and propose or evaluate methods, architectures and techniques to overcome these chal-lenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - integration of web and multimedia service composition frameworks - system integration aspects in service composition - service composition support in middleware systems - session management for service compositions - service routing and aspects of distribution - role of service discovery in dynamic composition - semantic enhancements for service discovery /selection - service composition and meta-data representation - semantic distances between advertised service capabilities - ontology-based service capability descriptions (e.g. OWL-S) - service interoperability, interface design and impact on QoS - service level agreements and QoS guarantees of service chains - multimedia service personalization and customization - multimedia application decomposition and service modeling - multimedia process workflows and service composition lifecycle PAPER SUBMISSION AND IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished papers.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: COMENTS 2005 Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 22:45:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Anupam Banerjee <anupamb(a)andrew.cmu.edu> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org COMNETS-2005 2nd IEEE/Create-net International Workshop on Deployment Models and First/Last Mile Networking Technologies for Broadband Community Networks www.comnets.org Date: Oct 7th, 2005 Location: Boston, USA Based on the success of its predecessor, the First International Workshop on CN and FTTx, held in Dallas, TX in October 2003, COMNETS 2005 is planned to cover the whole spectrum of issues related to community networks and will integrate the main aspects of planning, design, implementation and operation of Community networks. Community networks have evolved during the last decade in North America and, more recently, in Europe, from the concept of freenets or civic nets tothe idea of open access networks, and represent a dramatic shift from the classical telecom infrastructures, service provisioning methods and business models. The design of community networks requires the solution of challenging engineering tasks. The first objective of the workshop is to address network technology issues that include the optimal combination of wire-based and wireless technologies for the access part, the integration of the core/distribution and access networks, the provisioning of end-to-end quality of service for multimedia and other applications, the design of scalable applications and services tailored to the bandwidth and the access quality. On the other hand, CNs, often being created, owned and operated with the participation of a local or regional government, are based on specific business models and service provisioning methods. Thus, the second objective of the workshop is to address the related business and social issues that include business models for planning, implementing, and operating CNs, legal/regulatory environment, planning of e-government, e-health, e-learning services. Case studies from all over the world are most welcome.Original unpublished papers are solicited in areas including but not restricted to the following: •Guidelines for network design and technology selection •QoS support and service differentiation •Implementation/operation experience •New technology testing experience •Wireless community networks •Wireline (PLC, Fiber, xDSL) community networks •Legal frameworks: experiences and new challenges •Business oriented tests and case studies •Municipal fiber, customer owned fiber networks •Public-private ownership structures •Killer applications for community networks (e-gov, e-health applications, e-learning) •Providing entertainment services on CNs •Case studies and experiences Important Dates: June 30th 2005 Paper submission deadline Aug 31th 2005 Acceptance Notification Sept 15th 2005 Camera Ready papers Oct 7th 2005 Workshop Organizing committee General and Program Chairs: Ashwin Gumaste(Fujitsu Laboratories) Hakki Cankaya(Alcatel Research) Csaba A.

FYI -----Original Message----- From: Marco Roccetti [mailto:roccetti@cs.unibo.it] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 1:07 PM To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org Cc: Marco Roccetti Subject: cfp for NIME'06 /* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. */ CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'06) CCNC 2006 - Satellite Workshop January 7-10, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The second IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: MHWMN-2005 Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 23:48:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> To: <manet(a)ietf.org> CC: podc(a)acm.org, tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ****** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message **** ======================================================================= CFP: IEEE MHWMN'2005 The IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2005 (IEEE MHWMN'05) (http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2005/CFP.html) To be held in conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2005) Washington DC, USA, November 7-11, 2005 ========================================================================= AIM and SCOPE ------------- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range,power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: -Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management -Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN -Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN -MAC protocols for MHWMN -Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN -Security issues in MHWMN -Topology control and management for MHWMN -Mobility models and location management in MHWMN -Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN -Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN -Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN -Implementation testbeds for MHWMN -Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN SUBMISSIONS ----------- Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format), contact addresses, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses (text format) to the co-chairs Qing-An Zeng (qzeng(a)ececs.uc.edu) and Mieso Denko (denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca) by July 1, 2005.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICEC] CfP: Workshop on Blurring the Boundaries between Learning, Enjoying and Working Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 10:31:55 +0200 From: Rauterberg, G.W.M. <G.W.M.Rauterberg(a)tue.nl> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> *Blurring the Boundaries between Learning, Enjoying and Working *A one-day Critical Computing Workshop http://www.sjul.org/boundaries05 boundaries05(a)umich.edu *Critical Computing* 20-24 August 2005 Aarhus, Denmark http://www.aarhus2005.org/ / //POSITION PAPERS due June 26 (July 25 for late acceptance, if space is available)/ *BOUNDARIES BETWEEN LEARNING, ENJOYING AND WORKING* People learn (only) in school, are productive (only) at work and enjoy themselves (only) elsewhere, right? No? That's the impression often imparted by information technology: entertainment software is distinct from productivity tools and both differ from educational technology. Blurring the boundaries between learning, enjoying and working will be increasingly critical as information technology matures, becomes more diverse and enters new dimensions of human existence. This need is already evident, for example, in efforts to incorporate "fun" as a design value for productivity tools, or to support understanding and solving of real-world problems in educational technologies. Research and design communities also reflect these boundaries, differing in values, practices and expertise. For instance, educational designers emphasize "reflective design" (stressing interpretation, understanding and reasoning), whereas productivity designers emphasize "behavioral design" (stressing use and experience), while entertainment designers emphasize "visceral design" (stressing appearance, touch, and feel). Development of boundary-blurring technologies will require understanding ways and implications of crossing the boundaries in both research and design settings. The purpose of the workshop is to examine, systematically, opportunities for and implications of research, design and development of integrated technologies, and explore ways of helping designers and researchers to cross boundaries. The objectives of the workshop are to develop an understanding of the opportunities for, limitations of and issues raised by blurring boundaries, and to outline a research agenda for technologies that allow people simultaneously to learn, enjoy themselves and be productive, and to do so across all the settings -- work, home, play -- in which they conduct their lives. *DISCUSSION TOPICS* Topics for discussion will primarily be derived from participants' suggestions and interests. However, they might include: Implications and Opportunities for Integrated Technologies o Are there venues for integrated technologies that are particularly appropriate or inappropriate? o Do integrated technologies pose special social or ethical concerns? o What conflicts might blurring boundaries present? E.g., automating subtasks to increase productivity vs. exposing them to increase learning. o Do integrated technologies introduce new or specialized computational problems? Benefits of Integrating Technologies o How might research or design communities benefit from looking across boundaries? o What do different research and design communities have to offer each other? Process and Methodological Changes o Do design processes and methodologies differ for different spheres of purpose or types of design, and what changes are needed for integrated technologies? o Do research questions and methods differ by purpose or type of design, and what changes are needed for integrated technologies? Research Agenda o How might viewing technology across boundaries affect research, design and development? o What research questions might be raised or answered by integration? o What research questions must be answered to achieve integration? o How can opportunities for research, design and development across boundaries be created and supported? * IMPORTANT DATES* June 26: Position papers due June 30: Notification of acceptance July 1: Early registration deadline July 25: Late position papers due (if space is available) Aug 1: Notification of acceptance (late position papers) Aug 20: Workshop takes place in Aarhus, Denmark _______________________________________________ icec mailing list icec(a)listserver.tue.nl http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec

September 2005, 9:00-12:30 Uhr Ort: Linz, Austria Einreichungsfrist: 15. August 2005 Moderation: Leonie Schäfer, EU Commission - DG Information Society & Media, leonie.schaefer(a)cec.eu.int Steffi Beckhaus, interactive media/ virtual environments, Universität Hamburg, steffi.beckhaus(a)uni-hamburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Motivation ---------- Digitale Spiele haben sich zu einem neuen, aktuellen Trend in der weltweiten Forschung im IT-Bereich entwickelt. Neben klassischen Spieltypen wie Shooter Games und Verfolgungsjagden entsteht eine Vielzahl neuer Spielformen. Diese neuen digitalen Spiele sind vielfach kooperativ, multimodal und haben ihren Handlungsort in einer virtuellen Umgebung. Die Spieler können sich an unterschiedlichen Orten befinden, jedoch auf eine gemeinsame virtuelle Spielplattform zugreifen und so miteinander kooperieren. Anwendung finden solche Spiele nicht nur im Unterhaltungsbereich, wie z.B. in der Form von Rollenspielen, sondern auch im Arbeitsbereich in der Simulation von komplexen Arbeits- und Produktionsprozessen. Diese neue Generation von digitalen Spielen stellt eine neue Herausforderung dar für das Design von spielgeeigneten Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen, der Nutzung mobiler Endgeräte, sowie der Gestaltung von kooperationsunterstützender Software. In diesem Workshop wollen wir uns speziell mit der Frage befassen, inwiefern Strukturen aus dem Bereich kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übertragbar sind auf eine Anwendung im Bereich der digitalen Spiele. Fragen hierzu sind z.B.: Welche Bedeutung haben Kooperation und Communities für den Erfolg eines digitalen Spiels? Welche Funktionalitäten und Ansätze können von kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übernommen werden? Welche Spieltypen würden davon besonders profitieren? Ebenso ist die Umkehrung der Frage von Interesse: Wie lassen sich die Erfahrungen in der Gestaltung und Entwicklung von Spielen auf das Design von kooperativen Arbeitsumgebungen übertragen? Viele digitale Spiele haben einen sehr immersiven Charakter. Durch welche Spielstrukturen wird dieser Effekt hervorgerufen? Kann man diese Strukturen auf kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übertragen und dort einen ähnlichen Effekt erzielen? Welche Art von kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen würde davon profitieren? Ziel des Workshops ------------------ Das Ziel des halbtägigen Workshops ist es, für kooperative Spiele und kollaborative Arbeitsumgebungen: * existierende Strukturen und Erfolgsfaktoren digitaler Spiele und kooperativer Anwendungen zu untersuchen und diese auf ihre gegenseitige Anwendbarkeit zu überprüfen, * Szenarien zu entwickeln für zukünftige Anwendungen, * Forschungsziele zu definieren und diese thematisch und zeitlich zu gliedern. Zielgruppe ---------- Der Workshop richtet sich an Teilnehmer mit einem Hintergrund beispielsweise in der Entwicklung von Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen, CSCW, VR, Mixed Reality, Design, Usability und der Computerspiel-Entwicklung. Die Teilnehmer sollten diskussionsfreudig sein und bereit aktiv mitzuarbeiten. Gestaltung & Ergebnis des Workshops ------------------------ Der halbtägige Workshop wird schwerpunktmäßig in Form von Diskussionsrunden zur gemeinsamen Erarbeitung der vorangehend angeführten Ziele stattfinden. Die Beiträge der Teilnehmer und die Ergebnisse des Workshops werden auf der Workshop Website veröffentlicht. Anforderungen ------------- Die Teilnehmerzahl des Workshops ist beschränkt auf 20 Teilnehmer. Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme ist die Einreichung und Annahme eines Positionspapiers von einer halben bis einer Seite Länge, um den Workshop entsprechend des Profils der Teilnehmer gestalten zu können. Einreichungen per email an die Autorinnen sind möglich bis zum 15.August 2005. Das Positionspapier kann eine kurze Ideenskizze sein, ein aktuelles spiel-relevantes Projekt des Teilnehmers beschreiben oder auch nur das Interesse des Teilnehmers an einer Fragestellung formulieren.
