CALL FOR PAPERS =============== 2ND WORKSHOP ON REAL-TIME ONLINE INTERACTIVE APPLICATIONS ON THE GRID (ROIA 2009) IN CONJUNCTION WITH EURO-PAR 2009 MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 2009, DELFT, NETHERLANDS http://www.dps.uibk.ac.at/ROIA2009/ 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 visualizations, 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. SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ========================== Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts or full papers of 4 to 10 pages in the Springer LNCS style presenting original unpublished research or surveys to roia2009@dps.uibk.ac.at. Accepted papers that are presented at the workshop will be published in revised form in a special Euro-Par workshop volume in the LNCS series after the conference.
