3rd International Workshop on Blending Physical and Digital Spaces on the Internet (OneSpace 2010)
In conjunction with the Future Internet Symposium 2010 (FIS 2010)
September 20, 2010, Berlin, Germany
Deadline for submission: July 23, 2010
Full, demos, and position papers invited
Objective
The third edition of OneSpace will continue to offer a venue for the interdisciplinary exposition, exploration and cross-fertilization of trends in how the Internet contributes to blend and modify reality and real-life technology, with a focus on spatial aspects. The scope will be open to conceptual, experimental, and technological perspectives although we envisioned, as usual, a rather applied orientation supporting more fundamental discussions. The primary notions involved will be those of (geo)spatial and temporal sensitivity in physical, digital and virtual contexts, and the blending of digital and virtual images of space and of the physical realm.
Audience
The intended audience of the workshop are researchers and practitioners for whom spatial issues, broadly conceived, are an important thematic in relation to their interest in the Future Internet and Web applications. Typical attendants will be eager to confront the particular point of view of their discipline or area of activity in the rich cross-domain context of future Internet applications. These include GI scientists, cognitive scientists, Semantic Web researchers, Web technology and virtual community experts, creators of virtual worlds, social scientists, philosophers but, also significantly, research engineers such as for example from various industry sectors.
Submissions
Submissions following the LNCS style must be submitted through EasyChair and categorized as one of the following:
- Full papers (12 pages max.) on the thematic of the workshop from any relevant perspective
- Demonstration papers (6 pages max.) of prototype applications (accepted submissions will be presented as a short demonstration)
- Position papers (4 pages max.) discussing novel ideas, possible experiments, and technological visions
Important dates
- Submission deadline: Jul 23, 2010
- Acceptance Notification: Aug 13, 2010
- Camera-ready paper: Aug 27, 2010
- Workshop date: Sep 20, 2010
