Background
The Web has relaxed spatial and temporal constraints on human activities - the so called ''space-time collapse'' - allowing fast global access to information as well as to physical resources and services. Recently this movement accelerated, inter alia, due to:
- the success of mobile devices and mobile phone applications,
- the popularity of instant communication supported by VOIP providers,
- the generalisation of digital social interaction through platforms,
- the popularity of virtual environments provided on Internet-enabled gaming platforms,
- the streamlining of virtual interaction to support even extreme conditions.
While allowing users to experience a profound modification of their interaction space, the Internet has familiarised us with new topologies---alongside the prominent hyperlinked topology exhibited by the Web---which has become the model of many new forms of organization as is shown by emergence in the public sphere of initiatives such as Web sciences. Overall, these developments are leading to the continuous creation of new virtual spaces, communities and affordances. This trend has to be studied specifically, as it is representative of a radical change in society, initiated and alleviated by the Internet.
Objective
The third edition of Onespace will continue to offer a venue for the interdisciplinary exposition, exploration and cross-fertilisation of trends in how the Internet contributes to blend and modify reality and real-life technology with a focus on spatial aspects. The scope will be open to conceptual, experimental, and technological perspectives although we envisioned, as usual, a rather applied orientation supporting more fundamental discussions. The primary notions involved will be those of (geo)spatial and temporal sensitivity in physical, digital and virtual contexts, and the blending of digital and virtual images of space and of the physical realm.Audience
The intended audience of the workshop are researchers and practitioners for whom spatial issues, broadly conceived, are an important thematic in relation to their interest in the Future Internet and Web applications. Typical attendants will be eager to confront the particular point of view of their discipline or area of activity in the rich cross-domain context of future Internet applications. These include GIScientists, cognitive scientists, Semantic Web researchers, Web technology and virtual community experts, creators of virtual worlds, social scientists, philosophers but, also significantly, research engineers such as for example from various industry sectors.Topics
The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics for which contributions will be sought:- Knowledge representation for blending virtual and real space
- Representation of physical/virtual spaces and topologies
- Ontologies for blending virtual and real space (incl. spatiotemporal ontologies, ontologies of physical and virtual networks)
- Spatial and temporal reasoning for blending virtual and real space
- Computing and applications for blending virtual and real space
- Pervasive, Ambient, and Urban computing
- Mobility and ubiquity
- Impact of second-generation Web mapping applications
- Virtual worlds, digital games and real-life and technological applications
- Digitally blended geographic environments
- Digital urban environments>
- Geo-located services and sensors on the Web
- Internet of Things, Internet of People, Social and physical blending
- Application of Linked Data for physical and digital spaces
- The virtual and the real
- Digital Sense of Place and Presence
- Virtual and real identities and places
- Visibility and privacy in the Internet of people and things
