2nd CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION:
CVE 2000
Collaborative Virtual Environments 2000
Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH, SIGGROUP and SIGCHI
September 10th-12th, Cathedral Hill Hotel, San Francisco, USA
http://www.ai.sri.com/cve2000
***Submission Deadline, March 1st 2000***
CVE 2000 is an international conference dedicated to the design,
development and use of collaborative virtual environments (CVEs). It is the
third conference in this bi-annual series, (the first supported by the ACM)
and attracts delegates from a wide number of fields. A CVE is a
computer-based, distributed, virtual space or set of places. In such
places, people can meet and interact with others, with agents or with
virtual objects. CVEs might vary in their representational richness from 3D
graphical spaces, 2.5D and 2D environments, to text based environments. The
instantiation of the CVE is by no means limited to desktop devices, but
might well include mobile or wearable devices, public kiosks, etc.
The aim of the CVE conferences is to inspire fruitful discussion and
encourage information flow between practitioners of different disciplines.
Previous CVE conferences (CVE'96 and CVE'98) have attracted delegates from
computer science, psychology, sociology, architecture & urban planning,
cultural & media studies and Artificial Intelligence.
RESEARCH TOPICS
CVE2000 invites submissions on the full range of CVE-related topics,
including, but not limited to:-
o the design and development of CVE systems and architectures
o applications of Collaborative Virtual Environments
o the design of interaction techniques, including non-verbal
communication and conversation support
o models and metaphors for collaboration
o input/output methods, user-environment interactions
o the design and deployment of autonomous agents within the environments.
o experiences and evaluations of collaborative environments
and their applications
DEADLINES
