CALL FOR PAPERS
CTS06 Special Session on Mobile Collaborative Work
Submission Deadline: January 31, 2006
Brief Description:
The Internet now has more than 350 million users. It is expected to be
more than 3 billion mobile phones world-wide in 2005, and 1/10 of these
will have Internet access and be attached to powerful computers (source:
IDC).
Several companies are already working as virtual organizations, where
people are distributed, and collaborate over several locations and time
zones.
Thus it is crucial that distributed, collaborative, mobile and partly
asynchronous technology enables sharing of documents and work plans. The
infrastructure and tools for carrying out projects in virtual organizations
must still be improved. We must still deal with heterogeneity of tools,
equipment (laptops, PDAs, mobile phones) and work models. In addition,
mobility of devices and partial lack of connectivity require regular
synchronization of such devices against stationary servers and PCs. Hence,
there are several challenges that must be addressed.
This special session on Mobile Collaborative Work - to be held as an
integrated
part of the 2006 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and
Systems (CTS'06) - will focus on the area of mobile collaborative
computing,
with emphasis on cooperative mobile devices, systems and work processes.
The aim is to have a dedicated session that fosters closer interactions
among researchers and users communities, providing an excellent opportunity
for them to meet and discuss their ideas. We invite original contributions
from researchers in academia and computer industry on these emerging and
important areas of information technology.
Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to):
- Cooperative mobile systems and devices
- Mobile information retrieval
- Cooperative mobile modeling
- Characterization of mobile work
- Requirement analysis for mobile collaboration
- Mobile work process/workflow environments
- Mobile modeling frameworks
- Usability of mobile systems
- Mobile context-aware workflow
- Mobile databases
- Mobile applications for digital library
- Data mining for mobile application
- Security in Mobile Collaborative environments
- Mobile computing in health environments and applications
