CollaborateCom 2009
The 5th International Conference on Collaborative Computing: Networking, Applications and Worksharing Sponsored by, Create-Net and the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (Pending Sponsorships: IEEE CS and ACM SIGCHI) Crystal City, Washington D.C., USA, November 11-14, 2009
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 interoperation with application-specific components and tools.
The Fifth International Conference on Collaborative Computing (CollaborateCom 2009) 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 OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
- Architectures, protocols, and enabling technologies for collaborative computing networks and systems
- Autonomic computing and quality of services in collaborative networks, systems, and applications - Collaboration in pervasive computing applications - Collaborative e-education, e-learning, and collaborative computing in large scale digital libraries - Collaborative mobile networks and infrastructures - Collaborative technologies for fast creation and deployment of new mobile services - Collaborative, location-aware mobile systems/applications - Collaboration techniques in data-intensive computing and cloud computing - Collaborative sensor networks, unmanned air and ground vehicle networks & applications - Collaborative, context-aware infrastructure - Collaborative social networks & web-based collaboration - Computer supported collaborative work with distributed systems - Distributed collaborative workflows - Data management and middleware support for collaborative information systems - Distributed technologies and architectures to support group collaboration, activity, and awareness - Energy management for collaborative networks - Group-driven composition of systems from components - Human/robot collaboration - Human-centric ubiquitous collaboration - Methodologies and tools for design and analysis of collaborative user applications - Modelling for collaboration - Models & mechanisms for real-time collaboration - Multi-agent technology and software technologies for collaborative networking and applications - Peer-to-peer and overlay networks, systems, & applications - P2P platforms for supporting collaboration - Security, privacy and trust management in collaborative networks, systems, and applications - Simulation, performance evaluation, experiments, and case studies of collaborative networks and applications - Software design, testing, and experimentation technology for collaborative networking and applications - Theoretical aspects of distributed collaboration - Theoretical foundations and algorithms for collaborative networks, applications, and worksharing - Tools for collaborative decision making processes - Trustworthy collaborative business processing in virtual organizations - Visualization techniques, interaction devices and visual languages for collaborative networks and applications - Web services technologies and service-oriented architectures for collaborative networking and applications - Workflow management for collaborative networks/systems
PAPERS: 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.
POSTERS: The conference will include a poster session that highlights recent and on-going research, experiments, and provocative ideas that have not been published elsewhere. Poster submissions will be reviewed and one page summaries of accepted posters will appear in the conference proceedings.
WORKSHOPS: Proposals for half-day or full day workshops that focus on CollaborateCom09 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 for panel discussions that focus on future visions for collaborative networking, applications, and worksharing are preferred. Potential panel organizers should submit a panel proposal of at most five pages, including biographical sketches of the proposed panellists to the Panel Chairs.
TUTORIALS: 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).
INDUSTRY PROGRAM: We are soliciting industry papers describing innovative applications, case studies and best practices with a goal of fostering collaboration between the research community and the private sector. Industrial submissions may be either full-length papers or extended abstracts up to 4 pages, and should be submitted to the Industrial Program Chairs.
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 by technical program committee members and the reviewers they invite. All accepted papers will be published as IEEE proceedings (pending approval of technical sponsorship from IEEE CS) and made available in IEEE Xplore. Best Papers will be invited for publication in an international journal (TBD).
IMPORTANT DATES: Workshop proposals due May 10, 2009 Paper submission deadline July 10, 2009 Posters and panel proposals due July 10, 2009 Notification of acceptance August 20, 2009 Camera ready versions due September 5, 2009
