CALL FOR PAPERS

CIC2006

The 2006 International Conference on Cooperative Internet Computing (CIC2006) October 25-27, 2006, Hong Kong, China http://www.comp.polyu.edu.hk/cic2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction ============= Cooperative computing aims at enabling different parties to work together towards a pre-defined non-trivial goal. 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 Cooperative Internet Computing (CIC). Now, cooperating parties can work on the Internet at any time and place. At the same time, we have also witnessed an enormous leap in communication speed. This has opened up a wide range of new cooperative applications that were not feasible in the past.

Publication ===========

The CIC2006 conference has partnered with World Scientific Publisher to publish the conference proceedings as book chapters in a book entitled "Cooperative Internet Computing". The book is scheduled to be published after the conference. Best papers will be selected for publication in the International Journal on High Performance Computing (pending).

Scope and Interests ====================

The Conference invites papers on all aspects of Cooperative Internet Computing, and their applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Cooperative Information System Architectures * Human-Computer Interaction for Cooperation * Agents and Brokers for Cooperative Computing * Middleware for Collaboration * Workflow Systems * Distributed Multimedia Systems * Collaborative Internet Learning * Pedagogical Theories for Collaborative Internet Learning * Mobile Cooperative Systems * Evaluation Methodologies for CIC systems * Interaction Models and Protocols for CIC Systems * Internet Communication Infrastructure for Collaboration * Computer-Supported Cooperative Work * Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing * Enterprise Knowledge Management * Java, CORBA, DCOM, and XML Cooperative Application * Innovative and Emergent CIC Applications * Case Studies

Submission Information =======================

Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 15 pages, including tables and figures, with PDF, PostScript, or MS Word format. Electronic submission through the submission website is strongly encouraged. Hardcopies will be accepted only if electronic submission is not possible. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
