Abstract

<p>Over the last two decades, many organization and individuals have relied on electronic collaboration between distributed teams of humans, computer applications, and/or autonomous robots to achieve higher productivity and produce joint products that would have been impossible to develop without the contributions of multiple collaborators&#046; Technology has evolved from standalone tools, to open systems supporting collaboration in multi&#8211;organizational settings, and form general purpose tools to specialized collaboration grids&#046; Future collaboration solutions that fully realize the promises of electronic collaboration requires advancements in networking, technology and systems, user interfaces and interaction paradigms, and interoperation with application&#8211;specific components and tools&#046; </p> <div> </div> <!&#8211;&#8211; <p><center><img src=&#8243;/images/pictures_sanjose&#046;jpg&#8243; alt=&#8243;Pictures from San Jose&#8243; border=&#8243;0&#8243;></center></p> &#8211;&#8211;> <h2>Scope</h2> The 4th International Conference on Collaborative Computing (CollaborateCom 2008) will continue to serve as a premier international forum for discussions among academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and students interested in collaborative networking, technology and systems, and applications&#046; <p> Contributions addressing all areas related to collaborative networking, applications and worksharing are solicited&#046; Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: </p> <ul><li> Architectures, protocols, and enabling technologies for collaborative computing networks and systems </li><li> Autonomic computing and quality of services in collaborative networks, systems, and applications </li><li> Collaboration in pervasive computing applications </li><li> Collaborative e&#8211;education, e&#8211;learning, and collaborative computing in large scale digital libraries </li><li> Collaborative mobile networks, sensor networks, unmanned air and ground vehicle networks &amp; applications </li><li> Collaborative technologies for fast creation and deployment of new mobile services </li><li> Computer Supported Collaborative Work with distributed systems </li><li> Data management and middleware support for collaborative information systems </li><li> Distributed technologies and architectures to support group collaboration, activity, and awareness </li><li> Empirical studies on distributed collaboration </li><li> Energy management for collaborative networks </li><li> Methodologies and tools for design and analysis of collaborative user applications </li><li> Multi&#8211;agent technology and software technologies for collaborative networking and applications </li><li> Peer&#8211;to&#8211;peer and overlay networks, systems, and applications </li><li> Security and trust management in collaborative networks, systems, and applications </li><li> Simulation, performance evaluation, experiments, and trials of collaborative networks and applications </li><li> Software design, testing, and experimentation technology for collaborative networking and applications </li><li> Theoretical aspects of distributed collaboration </li><li> Theoretical foundations and algorithms for collaborative networks, applications, and worksharing </li><li> Trustworthy collaborative business processing in virtual organizations </li><li> Visualization techniques and visual languages for collaborative networks and applications </li><li> Web services technologies for collaborative networking and applications </li><li> Workflow technology and workflow management for collaborative network management </li><li> Modeling for Collaboration </li><li> P2P platforms for supporting collaboration </li><li> Collaborative, location aware mobile systems </li><li> Collaborative sensor systems </li><li> Security an privacy in collaboration </li><li> Human/robot collaboration </li><li> Human&#8211;centric ubiquitous collaboration </li><li> Collaborative, context&#8211;aware infrastructure </li><li> Group&#8211;driven composition of systems from components </li><li> Technology and system for collaboration in real&#8211;time enterprises </li></ul>
