Kaleidoscope 2021 – Connecting physical and virtual worlds
Connecting physical and virtual worlds is the thirteenth in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences organized by ITU to bring together a wide range of views from universities, industry and research institutions. The aim of the Kaleidoscope conferences is to identify emerging developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) and, in particular, areas in need of international standards to aid the sustainable development of our interconnected world.
Kaleidoscope 2021 calls for original academic papers sharing insight into ongoing projects and research relevant to the development of persistent virtual realities and customized computer-generated environments, as well as new possibilities and associated challenges appearing on the horizon. Particularly, this conference encourages submissions on technical standards for networks and services required to enable this transformation, including considerations on social and ethical implications.
Accepted and presented papers are published in the Conference Proceedings. In addition, extended versions of selected papers are considered for publication in the International Journal of Technology Marketing, the International Journal of Standardization Research, or the Journal of ICT Standardization.
A prize fund totalling CHF 6 000.- will be shared among the authors of the three best papers, as judged by the Steering and Technical Programme Committees. In addition, young authors of up to 30 years of age presenting accepted papers will receive Young Author Recognition certificates.
