Call for participation for the "SEARIS" WORKSHOP at IEEE VR 2009

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd Workshop on Software Engineering and Architectures for Realtime 
Interactive Systems (SEARIS)

Time:       9.00-17.00
Date:       Saturday March 14th 2009
Location:   Lafayette, Louisiana
SEARIS website: http://www.searis.net

Workshop Program: http://www.searis.net/index.php5/Workshop2009_Program

SEARIS provides a forum for researchers and practitioners working on the 
design, development, and support of realtime interactive systems which 
span from VR, AR, and MR environments to novel 
Human-Computer-Interaction systems and entertainment applications. After 
a successful initial SEARIS workshop in 2008, this first follow-up 
proceeds to establish a sustainable community shaping a common 
understanding, deriving common paradigms, developing useful and 
necessary methods and techniques, and fostering new ideas.

Various hot-topics have been identified from the current scientific 
discussion and will be presented and discussed in different panels. 
Panelists will have the opportunity to present short statements on these 
topics and discuss them with the other participants. This format will 
allow us to develop a deeper understanding of detailed technical issues 
and to compare existing approaches with regard to specific questions and 
issues.

This year's workshop builds on our previous experiences at SEARIS 2008 
and fosters an interactive, discussion-like exchange format as opposed 
to rather traditional paper presentations. We hope it will become a 
lively discussion with fruitful interaction between presenters and audience.

Hope to see you there !
