Collaboration Systems (UMICS 2006) which is co-located with the 
Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 
2006) in Luxembourg, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.

The new deadline for paper submission is March 10th, 2006 (24:00 CET).

Authors who have already submitted a contribution may still update 
their submission until that date.

- Security and integrity 
- Software models: how applications are built, deployed, and used 
- Effects of UMICS on knowledge worker productivity 

A specific session of the workshop will be dedicated to tool 
demonstrations of prototype tools of some of the accepted papers.


PAST EVENTS, DURATION, AND WORKSHOP FORMAT

This will be the 4th instance of this workshop and each time it was 
co-located with CAiSE. The number of participants was always around 
15-25. We expect about the same number of participants for 2006.

The duration will again be two days.

The workshop will feature an invited talk and short paper 
presentations followed by intensive discussion: 3 presentations per 
session, each 15 min, and each session to have 45 min of discussion. 
Furthermore, one half day will be devoted to research tool 
demonstrations. We are also considering to have breakout sessions on 
3-4 topics to intensify discussions and networking among participants.


WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS

UMICS 2004 proceedings, for example, were published as Springer LNCS 
proceedings and a special issue of selected papers was published in 
the ACM/Springer journal "Personal and Ubiquitous Systems".

For UMICS 2006, the workshop proceedings shall be published within 
the CAiSE workshop proceedings. It is further planned, that selected 
papers will be also considered for publication as a special issue of 
an international journal.
