Call for Workshops

Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held in conjunction with CollaborateCom 2009. Each workshop provides a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of collaborative computing research.

A workshop must be full day in length. As part of the CollaborateCom'09 proceedings, all workshop papers will be available (on a CD) to the workshop attendees.
