Workshop on

    Real-Time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA) on the GRID

at the

    Euro-Par 2008,
    Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Island/Spain, August 26-29, 2008
    http://www.gup.uni-linz.ac.at/roia

Through recent advancements in network technology, graphics cards, and
displays a new type of applications - real-time online interactive
applications (ROIAs) - 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 visualisations,
networked virtual environments and real-time graphical displays. 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 on ROIAs. The grid and its technologies is known to provide a
sophisticated basis for ROIAs and collaborative work.

This event encourages paper submissions concerning the application and
usage of real-time online Gird applications, as well as the technologies
supporting them in scientific and industrial context. Authors are
expected to emphasize the benefits of their real-time online
applications for human users with focus on up-to-date characteristics of
hard-, soft and middleware aspects.

This workshop offers the possibility to discuss the different approaches
Real-Time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA) on the GRID and
supportive technologies, to show the latest results, products, or
research prototypes to potential users, and to establish connections
between developers and users of associated technologies.

The following areas and related topics are of interest:

   * Interactive grid tools and environments
   * Development of associated parallel and distributed computing
     solutions
   * Integration of networking and grid computing technology
   * Gaming approaches on the Grid
   * Approaches using novel interaction techniques
   * E-learning applications using Grid technology
   * Requirement studies for future Grid tools
   * Evaluation of existing ROIAs and practical experiences

Paper Submission:
--------------------

We invite you to submit an extended abstract of 1 page (A4), describing
new and original results, for oral presentation. Submission implies the
willingness of one of the authors to register and present the described
work.

After the presentation at the workshop a paper for the workshop
proceedings is to be prepared by the authors. The submitted paper must
already be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS
(Springer Verlag). Submitted papers should not exceed 10 pages in
Springer LNCS format (excluding references and appendices).

Please follow the ROIA 2008 guidelines
http://www.gup.uni-linz.ac.at/roia for more information on paper submission.

Please include a cover page which lists the following:
   * name, affiliation, address and e-mail address of each author
   * name of the presenting author; name of the contact author
   * a maximum of 5 keywords

Submission details will be available on the webserver at:
http://www.gup.uni-linz.ac.at/roia


Proceedings:
