[Scope]

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 Tenth International Conference on Collaborative Computing
(CollaborateCom 2014) 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.

[Topics]

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, and citizen science
- Architectures, protocols, and enabling technologies for collaborative
computing networks and systems

[Paper Submission]

We invite original research papers that have not been previously published
and are not currently
under review for publication elsewhere. Contributions addressing all areas
related to collaborative networking,
technology and systems, and applications are solicited. The submitted
manuscript should closely reflect the
final paper as it will appear in the Proceedings. Submitted papers should
be 10 pages in two-column IEEE
proceeding format. The papers can be submitted in regular track or
Industry/Application track.
Please visit the conference website www.collaboratecom.org for detailed
submission requirements and procedures.

[Workshops Proposals]

Proposals for half-day or full day workshops that focus on CollaborateCom
2014 related themes are solicited.
Workshop proposals should be at most five pages, including a biographical
sketch of each instructor, and submitted
to the Workshop Chairs. Proposals will be evaluated based on the expertise
and experience of the organizers and the
relevance and importance of the subject matter. Please refer to call for
workshop proposals for details.

[Panels Proposals]

Proposals for panel discussions that focus on future visions for
collaborative networking, applications,
and worksharing are preferred. Potential panel organizers should submit a
panel proposal of at most five pages,
including biographical sketches of the proposed panellists to the Panel
Chairs.

[Tutorials Proposals]

Proposals for full and half-day tutorials are solicited. Tutorials are
intended to enhance the technical
program, and as such they should be relevant to collaborative computing,
networking, worksharing, and applications.
Potential tutorial presenters should submit a tutorial proposal of at most
three pages, including: description of
potential audience and background knowledge expected from the audience, if
any; tutorial description; biographical
sketch of presenter(s).

[Important Dates]

Abstract submission deadline: 16 June 2014
Full Paper submission deadline: 23 June 2014
Notification of acceptance: 31 July 2014
