================================================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS - International Workshop on The Future of the Web for Collaborative Science 2010 =================================================================================================
The First International Workshop on The Future of the Web for Collaborative Science (http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/WWW2010/Workshop), co-located with WWW'10, April 27 or 28 2010, Raleigh, NC, USA
--------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION
The Web was originally invented with the physics community in mind, but rapidly expanded to include other scientific disciplines, in particular the health care and life sciences. By the mid 1990s the Web was already being used to share data by biomedical professionals and bioinformaticians. The Web continues to be immensely important to these fields, however use cases have expanded considerably. Researchers are now looking to share extremely large data sets on the Web, extract insights from vast numbers of papers cross sub-disciplines, and use social networking tools to aggregate data and engage in scientific discussion. Furthermore, individuals are beginning to store their medical records online, and some are sharing their genetic makeup in a bid to find others with a similar profile. These use cases are pushing the boundaries of what is currently possible with the Web. This half-day workshop will present how scientists are currently using the Web, and discuss the functionality that is required to make the Web an ideal platform for both cutting edge scientific collaboration and for managing health care related data.
The goals of this workshop are the following: * Foster innovation in applying the latest web technologies to collaborative HCLS * Explore HCLS specific requirements for collaborating on the web, e.g. trust, privacy, intellectual property, knowledge management, and the scale and diversity of data * Learn about the latest developments in data modeling, tools and technologies for web-based collaborative science * Bridge communication and knowledge transfer between the HCLS and web communities
--------------------------------------------------- TOPICS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
We would encourage submission of papers covering the following topics: * Web 2.0 applications for large, heterogeneous and complex data sets * Models for collaborative scientific annotations * Tools and applications for aggregating information across web sites * Provenance, attribution, trust, and intellectual property * Policy for data access, sharing, and anonymization
We seek three kinds of submissions: * Full technical papers: up to 10 pages * Short technical and position papers: up to 5 pages * Demo description: up to 2 pages
--------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three members the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published on the workshop web site. All submissions must be formatted using the WWW2010 templates (http://www2010.org/www/authors/submissions/formatting-guidelines/). The address for the online submission system will be published shortly.
