INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT NETWORKING AND COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS (INCoS 2009).
November 4-6, 2009 Open University of Catalonia Barcelona, Spain http://www.uoc.edu/symposia/incos2009
Submission deadline: **June 25, 2009**
CONFERENCE SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
With the fast development of the Internet, we are experiencing a shift from the traditional sharing of information and applications as the main purpose of the Web to an emergent paradigm, which locates people at the very center of networks and exploits the value of people's connections and relations. Web 2.0 has come to play a major role in this context by enabling a new generation of social networks and web-based communities and dramatically changing the way we use and interact with the Web. Social network analysis is also a rapidly growing field to investigate the dynamics and structure of intelligent Web-based networking and collaborative systems.
Virtual campuses and organizations strongly leverage intelligent networking and collaborative systems by a great variety of formal and informal electronic relations, such as business-to-business, peer-to-peer and many types of online collaborative learning interactions. This has resulted in entangled systems that need to be managed efficiently and in an autonomous way. In addition, latest and powerful technologies based on Grid and Wireless infrastructure as well as Cloud computing are currently enhancing collaborative and networking applications a great deal but also facing new issues and challenges. Well-known social networks lack of knowledge management and adaptive solutions and the information shared among peers is rather static. Virtual communities of practice also provide poorly interactive solutions and lack of full support for organization, management, mobility and security.
This conference covers the latest advances in intelligence social networks and collaborative systems that lead to gain competitive advantages in business and academia scenarios. The ultimate aim is to stimulate research that will lead to the creation of responsive environments for networking and, at longer-term, the development of adaptive, secure, mobile, and intuitive intelligent systems for collaborative work and learning. Industry and academic researchers, professionals and practitioners are invited to exchange their experiences and present their ideas in this field.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Submitted papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical, experimental or application nature, or be unique experience reports. Papers must be submitted no later than June 25th, 2009 and electronic submission in PDF is required. The page limit for a Track paper is 8 pages. Workshop and Special Session papers describing novel research visions, work-in-progress or less mature results are limited to 6 pages. The PhD Forum is an opportunity for PhD students to present their ongoing dissertation and to discuss their research with experts in academia and industry. The page limit for PhD Forum papers is 4 pages. Finally, Poster sessions provide an excellent possibility for authors to present in an informal and interactive way their original and unpublished work that demonstrates current research about the conference topics. The page limit for Poster papers is 2 pages. All submissions should be in the IEEE 8.5 two-column format. Papers should contain up to 5 keywords. Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness, and will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.
It is assumed that all accepted manuscripts would be presented at the conference. All accepted papers must be accompanied by a full paid registration to appear in the proceedings. All full papers are to be submitted in PDF electronically via the conference web site.
Proceedings of the INCoS 2009 conference will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be published in several Journal Special Issues (to be announced).
