Panel Statement:

As the world is moving towards unlimited connectivity, computing platforms are evolving from the centralized computation model to more distributed, open, and service oriented computation model. Collaboration as a fundamental capability of networks represents a significant step forward. Many predict that collaboration in computing will become a fundamental capability for eCommerce, eGovernment, and eScience and for managing and accessing information at global scale.

This panel consists of distinguished panelists from industry and governments, each will share their thought, experiences in real world and their vision on Collaborations in Computing, how distribution, service oriented computing play a role in promoting and enabling collaborative computing, and what are important research challenges and management challenges for collaborative computing vision to be successful.

Panelists:

• Dimitrios Georgakopoulos, Telcordia, USA
• Le Gruenwald, NSF CISE IIS (TBA)
• Steven Poltrock, Boeing Phantom Works, USA

Panelists will give a short (10-15min) interactive introduction, followed by discussions.
