May 17 - 21, 2010
The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Workshop on Adaptive Collaboration (AC 2010)
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of
The 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS 2010)
http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/10/main/callForPapers.jsp
Submission Deadline: January 18, 2010
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Adaptation is a special property of human beings as highly intelligent creatures. It is
also an emerging requirement for contemporary collaboration-related and computer-based
applications, such as Service Computing (SC) systems, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work
(CSCW) systems, Man-Machine (MM) systems, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) systems, Sensor
Network (SN) systems, Social Networks (SN) and production systems. Adaptive Collaboration
(AC) is to provide general methodologies and mechanisms to support adaptivity of
collaboration so as to improve the group performance of collaboration. Adaptive
collaboration is significantly challenging. For instance, user/agent modelling, user/agent
information acquisition, environment information acquisition, group structures, role/task
models, user/agent evaluation, and dynamic role/task assignment must be addressed in order
to facilitate adaptive collaboration.
The workshop will present techniques, methodologies, algorithms, system integrations, and
architectures issues related to Adaptive Collaboration.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited
to) the following:
Solicited topics are welcomed to address adaptation from the viewpoint of collaboration
and include, but are not limited to:
- Adaptation Methods & Techniques
- Adaptive Computing
- Adaptive Networks for Collaboration
- Adaptive Services
- Adaptive Man-Machine Systems
- Adaptation Languages
- Adaptive User Interfaces
- Information Infrastructures for Adaptive Collaboration
- Support for Adaptive Collaboration
- Adaptive Social Networks
- Dynamic Role/Task Assignment
- Environnent Information Acquisition
- Individual Performance Models
- Group Structure
- Adaptive Groups
- Group Performance Models
- Role/Task Models
- User/Agent Evaluation
- User/Agent Modelling
- User/Agent Information Acquisition
- Adaptive Collaborative Learning
- Adaptive Supply Chains and Logistics
- Adaptive Production Systems
- Adaptation for e-Business Processes and Operations
PAPER SUBMISSION
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other
topics related to Adaptive Collaboration. Submitted papers must not have been published or
simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors'
names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please,
indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list
of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words. The full manuscript should be at most
10 pages using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged at additional
fee. Some papers can be accepted as short papers, with a total length reduced to 5 pages.
Please include page numbers on all submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide
helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via email to the Workshop
organizer at
roles@nipissingu.ca
and
haibinz.zhu@gmail.com
. Paper reception will be acknowledged by e-mail within 2 days.
Only PDF files will be accepted, sent by email to the workshop organizers. Each paper will
receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality,
relevance, technical clarity and presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at
least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. Authors of
accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be registered and presented at the
workshop.
Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium proceedings. Instructions for final
manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the CTS 2010 Symposium web site
later. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies
and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected to be
included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed accordingly.
