It involves important technological areas like computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), workflow, computer- assisted design, databases, distributed systems, and concurrent programming. In the past few years, the prosperity of cooperative computing has been accelerated by the ubiquity of the Internet and the advent of wireless technologies, giving rise to the new research discipline of Collaborative Internet Computing (CIC). Now, cooperating parties can work over the Internet at any time and place. At the same time, we have also witnessed an enormous leap in communication speed/bandwidth as brought by advancement in technologies. This has opened up a wide range of new cooperative applications that were not feasible in the past. Since 2000, a series of three workshops on CIC have been organized by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The workshops have served as a platform for researchers in the related disciplines of CIC to present and exchange their latest works and ideas. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of high quality submissions. Also, many important research results have been reported which subsequently have influenced other works on CIC. These have strengthened our belief that a community with common interest in CIC has been formed and a critical mass of researchers has been built up. This special issue will provide a forum for timely and in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying Cooperative Interactive Computing. Topics of interest include (but not limited to): * Agents and Brokers for Cooperative Computing * Human-Computer Interaction * Interaction Models and Protocols for Cooperative Systems * Internet Communication Infrastructure for Collaboration * Middleware for Collaboration * Java, CORBA, DCOM, and XML Cooperative Application * Workflow Systems * Mobile Cooperative Systems * Distributed Multimedia Systems * Enterprise Knowledge Management * Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing * Computer-Supported Cooperative Work * Evaluation Methodologies of Cooperative Systems * Case Studies Submission Guidelines: Please submit the electronic version of your paper to cic2004(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ACM VANET 2005 - Deadline Extended Date: Thu, 5 May 2005 17:59:48 -0700 From: Chen-Nee Chuah <chuah(a)ece.ucdavis.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> In response to numerous requests, the submission deadline for ACM VANET 2005 has been extended to May 16, 2005. =========================================== CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2005 The Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Web site: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 16, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2005 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 13, 2005 The goal of this workshop is to explore the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Enabled by short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside), the VANET vision includes vehicular realtime and safety applications, sharing the wireless channel with mobile applications from a large, decentralized array of commercial service providers. VANET safety applications include collision and other safety warnings. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. Following the success of VANET 2004 held last year in Philadelphia, VANET 2005, the Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks, will be held in Cologne, Germany, September 2, 2005, in conjunction with MobiCom 2005. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Safety and commercial applications * Protocol design (including low-power, cross-layer, etc.) * Security and privacy * Power control * Multi-channel organization and operation * Network management * Modulation and coding * Channel modeling The opportunities for VANET are growing rapidly. In December 2003, the U.S. FCC approved 75 MHz of spectrum for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and the resulting DSRC system is expected to be the first wide-scale VANET in North America. In Japan, two DSRC standards have been adopted (the ARIB STD-T75 in 2001, the ARIB STD-T88 in 2004), and Japanese auto manufactures are working with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation in the third phase of an ambitious Advanced Safety Vehicle project. The German Ministry of Education and Research has sponsored the Fleetnet and Network on Wheels projects. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs. Creating high-performance, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community. Yet, certain limitations commonly assumed in ad hoc networks are mitigated in VANET. For example, VANET may marshal ample computational and power resources. Mobility patterns are constrained by road paths and driving speed restrictions. As opposed to sensor networks, VANET represents high resource/performance wireless technologies.
