=================================================================
IEEE CollaborateCom 2013: The 9th International
Conference on
Collaborative Computing: Networking, Applications and
Worksharing
20-23 October 2013
Austin, Texas, United States
==================================================================
Call for Papers
### Scope ###
Over the last two decades, many organizations and
individuals have relied on electronic collaboration
between distributed teams of humans, computer
applications, and/or autonomous robots to achieve higher
productivity and produce joint products that would have
been impossible to develop without the contributions of
multiple collaborators. Technology has evolved from
standalone tools, to open systems supporting collaboration
in multi-organizational settings, and from general purpose
tools to specialized collaboration grids. Future
collaboration solutions that fully realize the promises of
electronic collaboration require advancements in
networking, technology and systems, user interfaces and
interaction paradigms, and inter operation with
application-specific components and tools.
The Ninth International Conference on Collaborative
Computing (CollaborateCom 2013) will continue to serve as
a premier international forum for discussion among
academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and
students interested in collaborative networking,
technology and systems, and applications.
### Topics ###

### Paper Submission ###
We invite original research papers that have not been
previously published and are not currently under review
for publication elsewhere. Contributions addressing all
areas related to collaborative networking, technology and
systems, and applications are solicited. The submitted
manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it
will appear in the Proceedings. Submitted papers should be
10 pages in two-column IEEE proceeding format. The papers
can be submitted in regular track or Industry/Application
track.
### Workshops Proposals ###
Proposals for half-day or full day workshops that focus
on CollaborateCom 2013 related themes are solicited.
Workshop proposals should be at most five pages, including
a biographical sketch of each instructor, and submitted to
the Workshop Chairs. Proposals will be evaluated based on
the expertise and experience of the organizers and the
relevance and importance of the subject matter. Please
refer to call for workshop proposals for details.
### Panels Proposals ###
Proposals for panel discussions that focus on future
visions for collaborative networking, applications, and
work sharing are preferred. Potential panel organizers
should submit a panel proposal of at most five pages,
including biographical sketches of the proposed panelists
to the Panel Chairs.
### Tutorials Proposals ###
Proposals for full and half-day tutorials are
solicited. Tutorials are intended to enhance the technical
program, and as such they should be relevant to
collaborative computing, networking, worksharing, and
applications. Potential tutorial presenters should submit
a tutorial proposal of at most three pages, including:
description of potential audience and background knowledge
expected from the audience, if any; tutorial description;
biographical sketch of presenter(s).
### Submission Instructions ###
All paper, poster, panel and workshop submissions will
be handled electronically. Please visit the conference
website
www.CollaborateCom.org
for detailed submission requirements and procedures.
### Publication ###
All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously
reviewed. All accepted papers will be made available in
IEEE Xplore and other external indexing services (DBLP
database, ZB1Math/CompuServe, IO-Port, EI, Scopus, INSPEC,
ISI proceeding - pending approval).
Special Issues of CollaborateCom 2013 has been
confirmed for the following journals
- International Journal of Cooperative Information
Systems
- Springer MONET Journal
