Call for Papers of CoopIS 2010

Cooperative Information Systems provide enterprises and communities of users with flexible, scalable and intelligent services in large-scale networking environments. Building a scalable cooperative information system requires technical breakthroughs to overcome tough challenges that traditional rigid distributed systems did not face. The new grand challenge in the modern enterprise is now dealing with assessing and benchmarking the realistic benefits of social- and community-based collaborative computing against the traditional integrated approaches.

The CIS paradigm has traditionally encompassed distributed systems technologies such as middleware, business process management (BPM) and Web technologies. In recent years, several innovative technologies are emerging: SaaS, cloud computing, Internet of Service, Internet of Things, Service Oriented Computing, mash-ups, Web Services, Semantic Web and Knowledge Grid. These new technologies enable us to consider more aggressive solutions for building scalable cooperative information systems.

Cooperative Information Systems applications are heavily distributed and highly coordinated, often exhibiting inter-organizational interaction patterns and requiring distributed access and sharing of computing and information resources. Typically they fall under the categories such as e-Business, e-Commerce, e-Government, e-Health and e-Science.

The CoopIS conference series has established itself as a major international forum for exchanging ideas and results on scientific research for practitioners in fields such as computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), middleware, Internet/Web data management, electronic commerce, workflow management, knowledge flow, agent technologies, and software architectures, to name a few. In addition, the 2010 edition of CoopIS aims to highlight the impact of social and community networks, cloud computing, semantic computing and the future internet enterprise systems collaborative issues for collaborative information systems.

As in previous years, CoopIS'10 will be part of a joint event with other conferences, in the context of the OTM ("OnTheMove") federated conferences, covering different aspects of distributed information systems.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers submitted to CoopIS'10 must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee, and at least two will be experts from industry in the case of practice reports. All submissions must be in English. Submissions must not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready paper style. Submissions must be laid out according to the final camera-ready formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF format.

The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

The paper submission site is located at:
http://www.onthemove-conferences.org/index.php/submitpaper

Failure to comply with the formatting instructions for submitted papers will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review.
Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.
