-TBA
+ICST/CREATE-NET DISIO 2012 3rd Workshop on
+DIstributed SImulation and Online gaming
+(In conjunction with SIMUTools 2012)
+http://disio.cs.unibo.it/
+Desenzano, Italy - March 19, 2012
+==== Scope ====
+The Distributed simulation, Online games and Digital Virtual
+Environments (DVEs) fields are gaining more and more importance, both in
+academia and industry, but are often seen as different topics with a
+very limited amount of interrelation and cross-pollination. In fact,
+they share a large amount of problems and issues (e.g., efficient
+delivery of updates, synchronization, load-balancing, QoS management,
+monitoring in large distributed systems).
+The aim of this workshop is to address research topics which are common
+to, and can potentially benefit, the research areas above, with the goal
+to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research, with particular
+emphasis on current and future trends in these fields. While the main
+focus is on simulation tools and gaming technologies, the workshop also
+encourages the submission of broader theoretical and practical research
+contributions. Since one of the aim of the workshop is to bring academic
+and industry researchers together with practitioners, reports of
+relevant case studies are of particular interest. Cross-disciplinary
+position papers, posing problems and giving input to the involved
+communities, are all welcome.
+General areas include, but are not limited to:
+  * **Cloud-based gaming**
+    * Dynamic resource allocation
+    * Dynamic provisioning
+    * Infrastructure / platform / software as a service for multiplayer games
+    * Green gaming infrastructures
+  * **Social gaming**
+    * Games on social networks
+    * Social implications of Massive Multiplayer Games
+    * Serious games and edutainment
+  * **Online Gaming and Digital Virtual Environments (DVE)**
+    * Design and implementation of massively populated online games
+    * Region based partitioning, areas of interest and event filtering techniques
+    * Scalability and interoperability
+    * Cheating avoidance, security and availability
+    * Interactive and immersive virtual environments
+    * User-interface paradigms and interaction methods for virtual environments
+    * Graphics systems for online gaming
+  * **Mobile Gaming**
+    * Wireless communications and protocols
+    * Development for portable devices
+    * Context-aware solutions
+    * Augmented reality solutions
+  * **Distributed Simulation Techniques and Methodologies**
+    * Synchronization and communication management
+    * Data Distribution Management (DDM)
+    * Load balancing and distribution techniques
+    * Simulation interoperability techniques
+  * **Tools for the Implementation of Online Games and Distributed Simulation**
+    * Peer-to-peer architectures
+    * Publish/subscribe mechanisms
+    * High Level Architecture (IEEE 1516)
+    * Open standards
+    * Communication protocols
+    * Multi-Agent System (MAS)
+ ==== Submission Details ====
+Papers must be written in English, should not exceed 8 pages, and have
+to comply with the ACM conference proceedings format. Submitted papers
+must have not been submitted for review or published (partially or
+completely) elsewhere. Each paper will be peer reviewed following a
+blind-review process. Three reviews for each paper, at least two of
+which from TPC members, are planned. Papers are accepted based on
+originality, quality and correctness. At least one author of each
+accepted paper must register and present work at the conference.
+The DISIO workshop will use the EasyChair system. For further
+information, please refer to http://disio.cs.unibo.it
+==== Publication Details ====
+The papers that are accepted and presented at the conference will appear
+in CD-ROM proceedings (with ISBN), in the ACM Digital Library (pending
+approval), and in EU-DL.
+**Extended versions of the best papers will be considered for publication
+in the ACM Computers in Entertainment (CiE) magazine.**
