First International Workshop
P2P CDVE - International Workshop on P2P Collaborative Distributed 
Virtual Environments
http://www.onthemove-conferences.org/index.php/p2pcdve2010
Hersonissou, Crete, Greece
in conjunction with On The Move 2010
October 27-29, 2010

** Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag **

Collaborative Distributed Virtual Environments (CDVE) enable 
geographically distant users to echange information, communicate and 
collaborate. CDVE are currently exploited in different areas, from 
videoconferences, shared whiteboards and computer supported 
collaborative work (CSCW) to distributed simulations like military or 
civil protection distributed simulations for training and massively 
multiplayer online games (MMOG). MMOG like World of Warcraft or Second 
Life, are currently gaining increasingly attention in the software market.

Currently the client server model is still the reference computational 
model for this kind of applications, but approaches based on the P2P 
model have recently been proposed. In the client server architecture a 
single server is responsible of guaranteeing the consistency and the 
persistency of the state of the CDVE.
The server notifies the update of the state to the interested users. The 
main disadvantages of this solution is the low level of robustness and 
of scalability due to the presence of the single server.

The definition of a fully distributed architecture for CDVE is an actual 
challenge because of the complexity of these applications which 
integrate networks, graphics and AI techniques. On the other hand, the 
adoption of a distributed computational model is mandatory to overcome 
the low scalability of client server architectures. P2P architectures 
are a promising alternative architecture for this kind of applications. 
Several issues have to be solved to define a fully distributed 
architecture for these applications. The most important are related, for 
instance, to the management and the consistency of the state in a fully 
distributed environment and to the security of the system.

Researcher from academy and industry are invited to submit a paper 
related to
the following topics

P2P Overlays for Collaborative Distributed Virtual Environments
Scalability
State Consistency
State Persistency
Security and Privacy
Content Streaming
Cheating Prevention Techniques
Responsiveness
Hybrid Architetures
Implementation Issues
