In conjunction with the 2002 Western Multi conference (WMC02)
(Submission Deadline: August 17, 2001)
Invitation:
You are cordially invited to participate in and attend the Third Collaborative Technologies and Systems Symposium to be held in San Antonio, Texas January 27-31, 2002 in conjunction with the Western Multi Conference 2002 sponsored by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). The symposium is to address, explore and exchange information on the state-of-the-art in collaborative enterprises, their modeling and simulation, design and use, and their impact. Participation is extended to researchers, designers, educators and interested parties in all CTS disciplines and specialties.
Purpose:
The symposium will include invited presentations from experts from academia, industry, and government as well as contributed paper presentations describing original work on the current state of research in collaborative technologies, CT systems and related issues. There will also be tutorial sessions, demos, and a panel discussion.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
o Design of Collaborative Systems o Modeling and Simulation of Collaboration o Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (CE) o Enterprise Heterogeneity o Tools for Collaborative Environments o Collaborative Distributed Simulation Approaches o Collaboration Enabling Technologies o Collaborative and Virtual Simulation Environments o Mobile and Wireless Collaborative Systems o Collaborative Information Infrastructure o Web-Enabled Simulation o Web Infrastructure for Collaborative Applications o Modeling and Simulation of Workflows in o Data Mining and Warehousing for Collaborative Collaborative Environments Technologies o Information Exchange and Fusion for CE o Knowledge Management o Intelligent Agents in Collaborative Applications o Shared Virtual Reality and Applications o Collaborative Enterprise Security o Electronic Notebooks and platforms o Interfaces for Collaborative Work o Requirements Engineering in CE o Coordination Mechanisms o Role-based Access Control o Distributed Shared Design and Development o Project Coordination o Prototyping Environments o Distance and Collaborative Learning o Mapping Tasks into Teams o Group Characteristics and Social Factors in CE o Distributed Team management and the o Collaborative Environments for Simulation Changing Organization Based Acquisition o Collaborative Technologies for Decision Support o Collaboration in the Joint Synthetic Battlespace o Collaborative Simulation for Distributed o Collaboration M&S for Wargaming and Mission Training Exercise Support
Submission of Papers:
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on above and related CTS topics are solicited. Submission should include, on the cover page, authors names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses. Please indicate clearly the corresponding author. Include up to 6 keywords from the above list and an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please submit an electronic copy of your full manuscript (not to exceed 15 double-spaced pages including figures, tables, and references) to: Waleed W.
