Call For Participation

The 8th IEEE International Conference on Collaborative Computing:
Networking, Applications and Worksharing (IEEE CollaborateCom 2012)

14-17 October 2012
Pittsburgh, PA, USA
http://www.collaboratecom.org/
==========================================================================

About the conference:

Over the last two decades, many organizations 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.
Technology has evolved from standalone tools, to open systems supporting
collaboration in multi-organizational settings, and from general purpose
tools to specialized collaboration grids. Future collaboration solutions
that fully realize the promises of electronic collaboration require
advancements in networking, technology and systems, user interfaces and
interaction paradigms, and interoperation with application-specific
components and tools.

The eighth International Conference on Collaborative Computing
(CollaborateCom 2012) will continue to serve as a premier international
forum for discussion among academic and industrial researchers,
practitioners, and students interested in collaborative networking,
technology and systems, and applications.

You are invited to join us at CollaborateCom 2012 for four days this
October at Pittsburgh, PA.
