[ ARCHIVE ] 14th International Conference on COOPERATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS (CoopIS 2006)

Montpellier, France, Nov 1 - Nov 3, 2006

Acceptance rate of CoopIS'05 and CoopIS'04 was approx. 1/5

Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag

The Cooperative Information System (CIS) paradigm encompasses the technological infrastructure (e.g., Middleware, Web technologies, and Business Process Management) to support a diversity of application areas (e.g. e-Business, e-Commerce, e-Government, e-Health, networked and virtual enterprises). The paradigm involves interconnected networks of information systems that manage large amounts of possibly heterogeneous information and computing services and cooperate as-needed to fulfil their mission.

The CoopIS conference series has established a prestigious international forum for exchanging ideas and results on scientific research from a variety of Computer Science areas, such as CSCW, Internet data management, electronic commerce, human-computer interaction, workflow management, agent technologies, and software architectures, to name a few.

As in previous years, CoopIS'06 will be part of a joint event with two other conferences, Distributed Object and Applications (DOA) and Ontologies, Databases and Applications of Semantics (ODBASE).

The technical programme for the three conferences will be organized within the global theme "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems". All three events will be hosted in Montpelier, France from October 29 to November 3, 2006. More details about the federated event can be found at http://www.onthemove-conferences.org.
