The 2nd International Conference on Collaborative Computing:
Networking, Applications and Worksharing

Jointly sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, ACM SIGCHI, Create-Net, EU (IST-CWE), and
the International Communication Sciences and Technology Association (ICST)

Doubletree Hotel Atlanta-Buckhead
Atlanta, Georgia, USA, November 17th - 20th, 2006





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 2nd International Conference on Collaborative Computing (CollaborateCom 2006) 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.

Publication

All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by technical program committee members and the reviewers they invite. All accepted papers will be made available in IEEE Xplore, and then be indexed by Engineering Information (EI). A selected number of best papers will be considered for publication in a leading journal.

We are steadily getting more relevant information on our web pages. Check the news page to get an overview of the latest conference events and new information on the conference web site.

On the web pages, you will also find information about the conference hotel and venue and some travel and tourist information which will enable you to start planning for an exciting CollaborateCom 2006 experience. We look forward to being your hosts at CollaborateCom 2006 in Atlanta.
