Overview

Through recent advancements in network technology, graphics cards and displays, a new type of Real-time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA) has become increasingly popular. Everyday life has been affected and transformed not only by the use of Web technologies, but also by collaborative multimedia applications, networked computer games, cooperative scientific visualisations, networked virtual environments and real-time graphics displays.

Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming (MMOG) are two huge growing sectors worldwide with challenging demands with respect to real-time distributed and interactive technologies.

The ROIA 2009 workshop welcomes papers in any area of real-time distributed technologies from research of basic real-time methods to applications in real-world environments.

Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Real-time interactive parallel and distributed tools and environments
  • Real-time interactive distributed (massively multiplayer) online gaming
  • Real-time interactive e-learning applications
  • Integration of cloud computing virtualization technologies with real-time interactive applications
  • Techniques for real-time Quality of Service monitoring and enforcement
  • Utility business models and Service Level Agreements for real-time interactive applications
  • Experiences in deployment and use of real-world distributed online interactive applications.

The workshop encourages submissions of practical demonstrations and tutorials of applications and technologies applied in real-time interactive environments.

Important Dates
  • Manuscript submission: June 8 (extended), 2009
  • Acceptance notification: June 22, 2009
  • ROIA Workshop: August 24, 2009
