Abstract:

During the past couple years, several Chinese and Latin American research communities have established and strengthened notable collaborative ties, in the fields of urban computing, virtual reality and visualization. These endeavors culminate in 2016 as the Sino-Latin America Birds of a Feather (SLA-BOF) event at the International Conference on Virtual Reality and Visualization (ICVRV). In this event chairs' report, we present overview of the history, status quo and ongoing initiatives about such collaborations. We encourage more institutions to join this international joint effort.

I. Introduction and Constituencies

Research communities in urban computing, virtual reality and visualization disciplines have been existent for a long time in both China and Latin America. There are three major ones of them which share parts in the collaboration: Technical Committee on Virtual Reality and Visualization of China Computer Federation (CCF-TCVRV) in China, Mobile Computing Research Consortium (I2COMM) in Colombia, and two national universities of Ecuador: Escuela Politécnica Nacional (EPN, the Polytechnic School) and Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas (ESPE, the University of Armed Forces).
