Topics

The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the necessary challenges and technologies to achieve a Trusted Internet of Realities (IoR), ensuring the safety and reliability of individual realities from a by-design perspective and enabling their interconnection for the development of various services. The workshop aims to consider the close interaction and emerging threats in the physical and substantial space, both now and in the future, while taking into account the attributes of the spaces constituting each reality and the user entities involved. The topics of this workshop are as follows:

• Integration of IoT and virtual reality technology
• Challenges and possibilities in the integration of virtual and physical realities
• New use cases and applications for IoR
• Methods and tools for constructing and managing digital twins
• Technologies and policies related to security and privacy risks for IoR
• Novel approaches for user authentication and access management for IoR
• Advancements in real-time data collection, processing, and visualization technologies
• Modeling and understanding of subjective and environmental realities
• Interoperablity between different realities

Instructions for Authors

Papers for the technical track must be submitted via the EasyChair conference system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iorws2023), written in English, and contain original material that has not been published or is currently undergoing review elsewhere. Papers should not exceed 8 double-column pages, including figures and references. Papers must use the new ACM article template (when using the overleaf ACM template choose the sample-sigconf.tex file).

Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts from the technical program committee following a double-blind review process (i.e., the identity of the reviewer and the authors’ names and affiliations are hidden, therefore, the submissions should be anonymised). The papers will be evaluated based on relevance, soundness, novelty, practical relevance and potential impact. Accepted papers will be listed on DBLP and published via the ACM Digital Library. Cases of plagiarism or multiple submissions will be subject to disciplinary action as per ACM rules and regulations.
