Workshop on
’COMBINING CVE's AND OTHER REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION MEDIA’
(http://www.jyu.fi/~samuli/research/CVE2000workshop.html)
at CVE'2000, September 10, 2000, San Francisco, USA
(http://www.ai.sri.com/cve2000/)
OVERVIEW & THEME
Collaborative Virtual Environments (3D) are excellent at representing
users' relative locations in a space - who is next to whom, groups forming
etc. Real-time communication is usually by audio, text messaging, and
sometimes by video. However, often documents and other objects need to be
shared and distributed in meetings or in work practice. This is seldom
supported by CVE applications. Technologies for different media exist
(videoconferencing, 'text chat', shared whiteboards/document handling
tools, co-authoring tools, Web pages etc.), but are seldom combined to form
a single, user-friendly CVE application.
Some of the interesting issues which need to be considered when designing
multiple media CVE's are
desirable media, and possible benefits
network requirements
terminal performance (e.g. vt100s, mobiles, ordinary PCs, powerful
SGIs)
user interfaces
boundary management for each different medium
The workshop will concentrate on these issues, and evaluate and share
knowledge about CVEs supporting multiple communication media.
IMPORTANT DATES

SUBMISSION AND WORKSHOP DETAILS
We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners in academia,
industry, government, and consulting. Students, researchers and
practitioners are invited to submit an extended abstract (maximum 1000
words, html format) Participants will be selected based on their submissions.
All accepted abstracts will be collected together and published in the
workshop WWW site, and after the workshop as a Technical Report by the
Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, University of
Jyväskylä, Finland
Abstracts will be used as a basis for dividing the participants into 2-4
groups. Participants will present their work for the small group, and
discuss and develop the ideas in the first half of the one-day workshop.
The second half contains longer presentations about the small group work to
be further evaluated by all workshop participants.
Authors of accepted abstract will be expected to present their work at the
workshop. All attendees must register for the CVE 2000 conference.
