PRESENCE: "Networked Virual Environments and Teleoperation" 
           Call for Participation

PRESENCE will devote an issue to "Networked Virtual Environments and
Teleoperation". Co-editors of this special issue are Michael Zyda and
Michael Macedonia of the Naval Postgraduate School.  The goal of this
issue is to determine the state-of-the-art in networked virtual
environments and teleoperation research.  We have the complete issue
to fill, which means we desire traditional research papers, lab
reviews, and what's happening submissions.
 
PRESENCE is the premier journal of teleoperation and virtual environments.
 
For the research paper and lab reviews sections, we are interested in
hearing about what research groups are doing with respect to the
networking of their virtual environment and teleoperation systems.

Subjects include but are not limited to:

     1. distributed interactive simulation (DIS) applications,
     2. distributed, multi-player video games,
     3. remote telepresence with time delay systems,
     4. distributed virtual environment toolkits,
     5. DIS and other network protocols,
     6. software and hardware architectures for networking multi-player 
        virtual environments.
  
We are particularly interested in papers on the "grand challenges" for
networked virtual environments:

     1. large scale (greater than 200) simultaneous participants,
     2. networked, hypermedia embedded virtual environments where
        compressed video and audio data must be transferred between player
        stations,
     3. distributed virtual environments to support concurrent engineering.

For the what's happening section, we request information on conference
announcements, multi-player, networked virtual environment
entertainment sites, and other VE/teleoperation events.

Manuscripts should be in 12 point type, using double spaced pages for
all text, including references.

Manuscripts are accepted for consideration with the understanding that
they represent original material and are not being considered for
publication elsewhere.

Send 7 copies of your manuscripts for this special issue to:

      Michael Zyda
