[ ARCHIVE ] 16th International Conference on COOPERATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Monterrey, Mexico, Nov 12 - 14, 2008

Proceedings published by Springer Verlag

 
   
Cooperative Information Systems are the cornerstone for moving the technical network infrastructure to a meaningful integrated information infrastructure.

The CIS paradigm has traditionally encompassed distributed systems technologies such as middleware, business process management (BPM) and Web technologies. In recent years service oriented architectures have fundamentally altered the technological landscape of CIS systems. Service Oriented Computing (SOC) introduces the service abstraction (a remotely accessible software component) as the building block of both inter and intra organizational distributed applications and its supporting middleware.

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 of e-Business, e-Commerce, e-Government, e-Health, e-Science among others.

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 data management, electronic commerce, human-computer interaction, workflow management, agent technologies, and software architectures, to name a few. In addition, the 2008 edition of CoopIs aims to highlight the impact of service oriented computing and the importance of sustainability of CIS as a necessary prerequisite for mission critical applications.

As in previous years, CoopIS'08 will be part of a joint event with other conferences, in the context of the OTM ("On The Move") federated conferences, covering different aspects of distributed information systems.
