==================================== CALL FOR PAPERS: CollaborateCom 2005 ====================================

The First International Conference on Collaborative Computing: Networking, Applications & Worksharing

Jointly sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, Create-Net, and ICST

San Jose, California, USA, December 19 - 21, 2005

(http://www.CollaborateCom.org)

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Networks and user applications have evolved from centralized computing 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 support intelligent reconfiguration and performance tuning of software, systems, overlay network architectures and topologies to meet diverse and evolving application requirements.

The First International Conference on Collaborative Computing (CollaborateCom 2005) is being launched to serve as a premier international forum for discussions among academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and students interested in collaborative networking, worksharing, and applications.

PAPERS: The conference invites original technical papers 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. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: . Architectures, protocols, and enabling technologies for collaborative computing networks and systems . Theoretical foundations and algorithms for collaborative networks, applications, and worksharing . Peer-to-peer and overlay networks, systems, and applications . Collaborative mobile networks, sensor networks, unmanned air and ground vehicle networks, and applications . Collaborative technologies for fast creation and deployment of new mobile services . Workflow technology and workflow management for collaborative network management . Web services technologies for collaborative networking and applications . Multi-agent technology and software technologies for collaborative networking and applications . Data management and middleware support for collaborative information systems . Trustworthy collaborative business processing in virtual organizations . Security and trust management in collaborative networks, systems, and applications . Autonomic computing and quality of services in collaborative networks, systems, and applications . Energy management for collaborative networks . Collaborative e-education, e-learning, and collaborative computing in large scale digital libraries . Collaboration in pervasive computing applications . Software design, testing, and experimentation technology for collaborative networking and applications . Simulation, performance evaluation, experiments, and trials of collaborative networks and applications . Visualization techniques and visual languages for collaborative networks and applications

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 June 6th, 2005. 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 6th, 2005.

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.

IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract Submission (optional): May 30th, 2005 (Monday) Paper Submission Due Date: June 6th, 2005 (Monday) Notification of Acceptance: August 29th, 2005 (Monday) Camera Ready Versions Due: September 19th, 2005 (Monday)
