Description
platforms to distributed collaborative computing services. Collaboration
as a fundamental capability of networks represents a significant step
forward. Collaborative network nodes can jointly achieve advanced networking
goals beyond relaying packets. Collaborative user applications enable
people and computers to work together more productively. Collaboration
computing techniques can also be used to support intelligent reconfiguration
and performance tuning of collaborative computing software, systems, overlay
network architectures and topologies to meet diverse and evolving application
requirements.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- 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, sensor networks, unmanned air and ground
vehicle networks & applications
- Collaborative technologies for fast creation and deployment of new mobile
services
- Computer Supported Collaborative Work with distributed systems
- Data management and middleware support for collaborative information systems
- Distributed technologies and architectures to support group collaboration,
activity, and awareness
- Empirical studies on distributed collaboration
- Energy management for collaborative networks
- Methodologies and tools for design and analysis of collaborative user
applications
- Multi-agent technology and software technologies for collaborative networking
and applications
- Peer-to-peer and overlay networks, systems, and applications
- Security and trust management in collaborative networks, systems, and
applications
- Simulation, performance evaluation, experiments, and trials 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
- Trustworthy collaborative business processing in virtual organizations
- Visualization techniques and visual languages for collaborative networks and
applications
- Web services technologies for collaborative networking and applications
- Workflow technology and workflow management for collaborative network management
PAPERS: The conference invites original technical papers, not exceeding 5000 words,
that have not been previously published and are not currently under review for publication
elsewhere. Contributions addressing all areas related to collaborative networking,
applications and worksharing are solicited.
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 the summaries of accepted posters
will appear in the conference proceedings.
WORKSHOPS: Proposals for workshops are solicited. Potential instructors are requested
to submit a workshop proposal of at most 5 pages, including a biographical sketch
of each instructor, to the Workshop Chair by May 22nd, 2006. Evaluation of workshop
proposals will be based on the expertise and experience of the instructors, and on
the relevance of the subject matter.
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 5 pages, including biographical sketches of
the proposed panelists, to the Panel Chair by June 27th, 2006.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper, poster, panel, and workshop submissions will be
handled electronically. Please visit the conference website http://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. Accepted papers and posters
will be published by the IEEE in the conference proceedings and placed on IEEE Xplore.
A selected number of best papers will be considered for publication in a leading journal.
