Hi Everybody,
if you're working on software systems for interactive graphics or
Virtual/Augmented Reality (and if you're on this list you probably are), this
might be of interest to you:
Fourth Workshop on Software Engineering and Architectures for Realtime
Interactive Systems
SEARIS 2011
19th or 20th of March in Singapore
In conjunction with IEEE Virtual Reality 2011
Description
SEARIS provides a forum for researchers and practitioners working on the
design,
development, and support of realtime interactive systems (RIS). These systems
span from Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR)
environments to novel Human-Computer Interaction systems (such as multimodal or
multitouch architectures) and entertainment applications in general. Their
common principle is a strong user centric orientation which requires real-time
processing of input events according to perceptual constraints. Therefore, we
encourage researchers and developers of real-time human computer interaction
systems of all flavors to share their experiences and learn from each other
during this workshop.
With the upcoming workshop we want to account the state-of-the-art in software
design and software engineering for realtime interactive systems, to shape a
common understanding, to compare systems and approaches and derive common
paradigms, to develop useful and necessary methods and techniques, and to
foster
new ideas. Therefore, we would like to invite researchers and practitioners to
submit contributions in any of the following topics:
- Architectures and basic principles for RIS: data-flow-oriented,
object-oriented, component-based, scene graph(s), etc.
- Abstraction mechanisms in RIS: entity centered design, world descriptions,
semantic modeling
- Reusability/Extensibility for RIS systems: plugins, components, modules,
extension points, etc.
- RIS Programming: class libraries, scripting languages, core implementation
languages, declararivity
- System Issues in RIS: operating systems, platform independence, networking,
distribution, etc.
- Adaptivity: support of configurability, personalization, adaptation
- Behavior: support and integration of behavioral components (physics, AI, etc.)
- Implementation and Testing of Realtime Interactive Systems
- Performance: consideration of evaluation strategies, latency,
synchronization,
etc.
We are in particular interested in more reflective and even controversial
contributions on these issues and related concepts rather than plain system
descriptions.
Contributions
State of the art reports (6-8 pages)
Surveys on the main results in this field, which will allow us to understand
and
compare achievements and approaches in tackling RIS issues from the
VR/AR/MR/HCI
communities.
Research Papers (6-8 pages)
Novel results in the field in the above mentioned categories related to RIS
development.
Position Paper (6-8 pages)
Interesting and possibly controversial points of view of technical or
technological advancements and approaches to foster a lively discussion at the
event.
Papers must be written in English and follow the IEEE Computer Society format
found at:
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html
Abstracts, full papers, and camera-ready versions have to be submitted
electronically using the conference management tool found at the SEARIS
website:
http://www.searis.net/
Workshop Format
The SEARIS workshop will be a full-day event. Accepted authors for state of the
art descriptions and discussion essays will present their ideas in a panel-like
format. Accepted contributions for research papers will be organized in at most
four sessions. Each session will have paper presentations and a discussion
panel. During panels we will encourage the active participation of the
audience.
We expect this structure to provide a more focused discussions and a lively
environment. Presenters will be asked to prepare a slide presentation of their
accepted papers. The general audience of this workshop will receive the
workshop´s program with a set of questions in advance, which will guide the
discussion in each topic´s panel. As in former workshops, contributions will be
published in printed proceedings with an ISBN and also made available online.
