[Tccc] [CFPs] The First International Workshop on Networking and Games (N&G 2010) In conjunction with AINA-2010, Perth, Australia, 20-23 April 2010

CALL FOR PAPERS

The First International Workshop on Networking and Games (N&G 2010)
In conjunction with AINA-2010,
Perth, Australia, 20-23 April 2010

The International Workshop on Networking and Games (N&G) provides a forum
for discussion of recent developments, bringing together researchers,
scientists, engineers, academicians and students all around the world to
share the latest updates on new technologies and applications that would
shape the next generation of networks and systems related with online games.
Online games, also called network games, pose a number of new challenges to
communications and network technologies. Computer games are seen as the
driving force behind the new generation of high-end GPU-based personal
computers that produce stunning graphics and deliver massive general-purpose
computations.
The focus of this workshop is on the impact of online games upon network
architectures, quality of service, networking architectures and topologies,
and their adequacy to particular games N&G 2010 will be held in conjunction
with AINA-2010, Perth, Australia.

The Workshop is soliciting papers describing original work, unpublished and
not currently submitted for publication elsewhere, on topics, including but
not limited to, the following:
• Traffic Analysis & Modeling
• Security Issues / Anti-Cheating
• Computer-Human Interaction / User Behavior Analysis
• Quality of Service
• Scalability
• Network Protocols
• Decentralized / Peer to Peer / Overlay Networks
• System Design / Architecture
• Game Design Experience
• Sensor Networks for Games
• Grid and Cloud Computing for Games
• Mobile Games
• Online Serious Games
• Online Educational Games
• Massively Multiplayer Online Games
• GPUs and Networks for Games
