Facets of Virtual Environments (FaVE): July, 27 to 29

International Conference on Facets of Virtual Environments

Berlin, Germany, July 27-29, 2009.

Scope

In recent years, persistent multi-user virtual environments (VE) have come into widespread use on the Internet. These systems have become sophisticated enough to be considered by their users as actual worlds. Alongside these virtual worlds, emergent effects such as social networking, online economies, virtual businesses and online culture are appearing.

The FaVE conference seeks to provide a venue to research related to the many facets of persistent virtual environments. We therefore welcome diverse contributions covering the entire range of subjects around the vision of present and future persistent virtual environments. This includes both the underlying technology and the resulting, emergent aspects. As such, FaVE is an interdisciplinary academic conference connecting lawyers, engineers, and social scientists.

Location

Berlin, Steigenberger Hotel.
