Panel on open source software for RIS

We organize at SEARIS a panel about the use of open source software (OSS) and in particular open source game engines for research in Realtime Interactive Systems (RIS). Panelists identified two types of researchers, application oriented and development oriented, and they agree on the importance of OSS for development oriented researchers and for the future research on RIS, so novel ideas could be built on top on existing solutions. This paper mentions some of the key ideas of this panel.
