   - System benchmarking, performance evaluation, and provisioning
   - Latency issues and lag compensation techniques
   - Operating system enhancements, service platforms, and middleware
   - Impact of online game growth on network infrastructure
   - P2P & Scalable system architectures
   - Network protocol design
   - Mobile and resource-constrained systems
   - Augmented physical systems
   - Networks of sensors and actuators
   - Input devices, haptics and accessibility
   - User and usability studies, group dynamics
   - Quality of service and content adaptation
   - User-generated content management
   - Content authoring and sharing
   - Artificial intelligence
   - Security, authentication, accounting and digital rights management
   - Cheat detection and prevention
   - Messaging and conferencing in games
   - Results that reproduce (or refute) previous published results

SUBMISSIONS
===========
NetGames 2009 welcomes submissions of full papers, as well as extended
abstracts reporting work-in-progress. Full papers must be no longer than 6
pages (inclusive of all figures, references and appendices). Extended
abstracts must be no longer than 2 pages, and will be presented as Posters
in an interactive setting. In addition to papers, technical demonstrations
showing original research prototypes are also solicited. Demonstration
papers must be no more than 2 pages in length, and should provide a short
description of the system and the features that are to be demonstrated.

Authors must submit their papers in PDF and use single-spaced, double
column ACM conference format. Detailed paper submission guidelines are
available at http://netgames2009.lip6.fr/SUBMIT.html. Reviews will be
single-blind, authors must include their names and affiliations on the
first page. Papers will be judged on their relevance, technical content
and correctness, and the clarity of presentation of the research. Papers
should not be under review at another venue nor previously published
elsewhere.

Accepted papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE
Xplore, and published in the workshop proceedings. Submission of a paper
for review will be considered your agreement that at least one author will
register and attend if your paper is accepted.

Authors of selected, top quality papers from NetGames 2009 will be invited
to submit an extended version of their papers to a special issue of the
International Journal of Advanced Media and Communication (IJAMC).
