** Apologies if you receive multiple copies ** C A L L F O R P A P E R S Third International Workshop on Web Based Collaboration WBC'03 September 1 - 5, 2003 Prague (Czech Republic) http://www.kti.ae.poznan.pl/dexa_wbc2003/ In conjunction with the 14th International Conference on Database and Expert System Applications DEXA'03 http://www.dexa.orgWORKSHOP AIMS AND SCOPE
In the last few years, the applicability and functionality of systems for collaboration support has expanded, leading to their growing application in organizational, communication, and cooperation processes. This provides opportunities to study their technical, business and social impacts. Usually an integration of incoming technology with existing organizational practices is very challenging. The knowledge gained from such experiences is a valuable resource for all those who plan to develop software tools to support team interaction.
At the same time we observe a growing influence of World-Wide Web. WWW - by now the most popular service over the Internet - evolves rapidly, from a simple, read-only data storage system, as it was a few years ago, to nowadays universal, distributed platform for information exchange. New Web-based applications with freely distributed data, end-users, servers, and clients, operating worldwide, are central topics of many research activities. Recently the WWW has also been perceived as an attractive base for a distributed computer system supporting cooperative work, since the Internet is the most flexible network with the architecture that could support group activities to maximum extent.
In parallel to the WWW evolution we observe a growing impact of new technologies: agent systems, mobile computing, workflow, and ubiquitous computing. We can expect that these technologies will also exert a large influence on group/organizational structures and processes.
All the aforementioned emerging new technologies are exciting in their own right, but their technological and organizational integration to support collaboration raises many interesting questions and is a challenging, new research agenda.
WBC'2003 is a continuation of the previous successful workshops on Web Based Collaboration, organized in September 2001 in Munich, Germany (http://www.kti.ae.poznan.pl/dexa_wbc/), and recently, in September 2002 in Aix-en-Provence, France (http://www.kti.ae.poznan.pl/dexa_wbc2002).
WBC'2003 attempts to integrate two themes of practice and research: the functional, organizational, and behavioral issues and the modeling or implementation issues associated with collaborative Web based work. WBC'2003 brings together practitioners and researchers from different domains working on design, development, management, and deployment of Web-based systems supporting teamwork within organizations.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Papers are solicited on the enabling information technologies with an emphasis on their relation to collaboration. The relevant topics may include the following (but not limited to):
- Collaborative Systems: strategies of human cooperation over the Web,
computer platforms and architectures in support of remote cooperation, mediators, wrappers, design and implementation issues of collaborative applications;
- Agent Technologies: agents supporting cooperation, agents for finding,
collecting and collating data on the Web, brokering agents;
- Interoperability Infrastructures: compositional software architectures in
support of collaboration, combining distributed object management platforms with Web and Java for cooperative applications, middleware infrastructures, describing metadata on the Web, providing semantic interoperability through metadata, emerging interoperability standards;
- Dataweb Technology and Database Infrastructure for collaboration: Web
access to databases including Java Database Connectivity, database Web servers, Web interfaces to databases, database Web applications;
- Workflow Systems: workflow architectures in support of collaboration
processes, modeling of cooperation processes, truly distributed enactment services and interoperability of workflow engines, dynamic modification of running workflows;
- Electronic Business: establishment of contacts, suppliers search and
negotiation, contract negotiations, Business-to-Business and Business-to-Employee cooperation support, establishment and coordination of virtual enterprises, shared business processes.
