SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
The fast development of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and
Mixed Reality (MR) solutions over the last few years are transforming how
people interact, work, and communicate. The eXtended Reality (XR) term
encloses all those immersive technologies that can shift the boundaries
between digital and physical worlds to realize the Metaverse. According to
tech companies and venture capitalists, the Metaverse will be a
super-platform that convenes sub-platforms: social media, online video
games, and ease-of-life apps, all accessible through the same digital space
and sharing the same digital economy. Inside the Metaverse, virtual worlds
will allow avatars to carry all human endeavors, including creation,
display, entertainment, social, and trading. Thus, the Metaverse will
evolve how users interact with brands, intellectual properties, and each
other things on the Internet. A user could join friends to play a
multiplayer game, watch a movie via a streaming service, and then attend a
university course precisely the same as in the real world.
The Metaverse development will require new software architecture that will
enable decentralized and collaborative virtual worlds. These self-organized
virtual worlds will be permanent and will require maintenance operations.
In addition, it will be necessary to design an efficient data management
system and prevent privacy violations. Finally, the convergence of physical
reality, virtually enhanced, and an always-on virtual space highlighted the
need to rethink the actual paradigms for visualization, interaction, and
sharing of digital information, moving toward more natural, intuitive,
dynamically customizable, multimodal, and multi-user solutions.

SUBMISSION AND DECISIONS
------------------------
Authors should prepare an Abstract (1 - 2 pages) that clearly indicates the
originality of the contribution and the relevance of the work. The Abstract
should include the title of the paper, names and affiliations of the
authors, an abstract, keywords, an introduction describing the nature of
the problem, a description of the contribution, the results achieved and
their applicability.
When the first review process has been completed, authors receive a
notification of either acceptance or rejection of the submission. If the
abstract has been accepted, the authors can prepare a full paper. The
format for the full paper is identical to the format for the abstract
except for the number of pages: the full paper has a required minimum
length of five (5) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages.
Full Papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee. Authors of
accepted full papers must submit the final paper version according to the
deadline, register for the workshop, and attend to present their papers.
The maximum length for final papers is 6 pages.
Submissions must be written in English and prepared according to the IEEE
Conference Proceedings template. LaTeX and Word templates and an Overleaf
sample project can be found at:
www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
The papers must be submitted in PDF format electronically via EDAS online
submission and review system: https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=29413
To submit abstracts or draft papers to the special session, please follow
the submission instructions for regular sessions, but remind to specify the
special session to which the paper is directed.
All submissions will be reviewed by the special session organizers and
other external reviewers.
