SPECIAL SESSION ON
NETWORKED GRAPHICS APPLICATIONS (NGA)
Overview
Through recent advancements in network technology, graphics cards and displays a new type of applications has become more and more popular. Everyday life has been affected and transformed not only by the use of web technology, but also by collaborative multimedia applications, networked computer games, cooperative scientific visualisation, networked virtual environments and real time graphical display of the results distributed calculations as for example in Grid computing. Users dislocated all over the globe are enabled to work with a variety of tools and graphical user interfaces to communicate and jointly solve problems using sophisticated graphical interfaces. Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is a hot topic which will most likely increase the impact of these networked graphics applications.
This session encourages paper submissions concerning the application and usage of networked graphical applications, as well as the technologies supporting them in scientific and industrial context. Authors are expected to emphasize the benefits of their networked graphics applications for human users with focus on up-to-date characteristics of hard-, soft and middleware aspects. This special session offers the possibility to discuss the different approaches in this domain, to show the latest results, products, or research prototypes to potential users, and to establish connections between developers and users of associated technologies.
Topics
The Special Session will focus on
-
Collaborative and cooperative multimedia applications
-
Applications for networked content creation
-
Protocols for efficient transfer and manipulation of graphical data
-
Evaluation of existing networked graphics applications
