Large Scale Distributed Virtual Environments on Clouds and P2P

Distributed Virtual Environments (DVE) enable geographically distant users to communicate, interact and collaborate within a virtual environment.
Collaborative multimedia applications, networked computer games, distributed simulation environments, Collaborative-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) are examples of DVEs. In particular, online gaming entertainment has acquired lots of popularity in the last years from both industry and research communities.

The LSDVE workshop aims to provide a venue for researchers to present and discuss important aspects of Large Scale Distributed Virtual Environments. The workshop’s aim is to investigate open challanges such as latency reduction/hiding techniques for guaranteeing real time constraints, efficient management of networked resources, large scale processing of user information, privacy and security issues, state consistency/persistence. The workshop will both present assessment of current state and introduce further directions.
