This new call date is independent of already submitted papers and do not clash with the notification date already given for these papers that are being reviewed. We would like to request that you disseminate the conference call, that you can find below in this email, through colleagues, other researchers, students and interested people, and also through mailing lists, conference calendars, institutional pages, etc. This is really crucial to attract more submissions. Thank you for any efforts put into this task. Best regards, Collaborative technologies 2011 Conference Program Chair Nik Bessis, University of Derby, United Kingdom MCCSIS 2011 General Conference Co-Chairs: Piet Kommers, University of Twente, The Netherlands Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline for submissions (new date): 28 February 2011 -- IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE COLLABORATIVE TECHNOLOGIES 2011 Rome, Italy, 20- 22 July 2011 (http://www.collaborativetech-conf.org/) part of the IADIS Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (MCCSIS 2011) Rome, Italy, 20 - 26 July 2011 (http://www.mccsis.org) * Conference background and goals The IADIS Collaborative Technologies 2011 is focused on issues related to the concepts, theory, modeling, specification, implementation and evaluation of collaborative systems, technologies and their 'wider' applications in the information society. It pays particular attention to the 'wider' dimension as a mean to diversify it and broaden the applicability and scope of the current body of knowledge in the area of applied collaborative domain including emerging and next generation methods and technologies. The aim is to cover both technical and non-technical aspects of the collaborative nature of today's information society, as well as, prompt future direction for the advancement of the community. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations.
