The
Second Workshop on
Large Scale
Distributed Virtual Environments on Clouds and P2P
- LSDVE 2014
held
in conjunction
of Euro-Par 2014 Porto, Portugal, August 26th
The
extended version of selected papers accepted and presented at the
workshop, will be published in a Special Issue of Springer Journal
Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications (PPNA)
The recent advances in networking have determined an increasing use of information technology to
support distributed cooperative applications. Several novel applications have emerged
in this area, like computer supported collaborative work (CSCW),
large scale distributed virtual world, collaborative recommender systems,
collaborative learning systems.The
definition of these applications requires to afford several challenges,
like the
definition of user interfaces, of coordination protocols, and of proper
middle-ware and architectures supporting distributed cooperation. Collaborative
applications maygreatly benefits also from the support of cloud
and P2P architectures. As a matter of fact, with the emergence of readily
available cloud platforms, collaborative applications developers have the
opportunity of deploying their applications in the cloud,
or by exploiting a hybrid P2P/Cloud architectures with dynamically adapting
cloud support. This brings possibilities to smaller developers that
were reserved for the big companies until recently. The integration of mobile/Cloud
platforms for Collaborative Applications
is another challenge for the widespread of these applications.This
workshop aims to provide a venue for researchers to present and discuss
important aspects of P2P/Cloud collaborative applications and of the
platforms supporting these applications. The workshop's aim is to investigate
open challenges for such applications, related to both the applications
design and to the definition of proper architectures. Some important
challenges are,for instance, collaborative protocols design,
latency reduction/hiding techniques for guaranteeing real time constraints,
large-scale processing of user information, privacy and security
issues, state consistency/persistence.The workshop will both present assessment of current state and introduce further
directions.
