PAPERS:

We invite original research papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Contributions addressing all areas related to collaborative networking, technology and systems, and applications are solicited. The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it will appear in the Proceedings. Submitted papers should be 10 pages in two-column IEEE proceeding format.

POSTERS: The conference will include a poster session that highlights recent and on-going research, experiments, and provocative ideas that have not been published elsewhere. Poster submissions will be reviewed and one page summaries of accepted posters will appear in the conference proceedings.

WORKSHOPS:

Proposals for half-day or full day workshops that focus on CollaborateCom related themes are solicited. Workshop proposals should be at most five pages, including a biographical sketch of each instructor, and submitted to the Workshop Chairs. Proposals will be evaluated based on the expertise and experience of the organizers and the relevance and importance of the subject matter. Please refer to call for workshop proposals for details.

PANELS: Proposals for panel discussions that focus on future visions for collaborative networking, applications, and worksharing are preferred. Potential panel organizers should submit a panel proposal of at most five pages, including biographical sketches of the proposed panellists to the Panel Chairs.

TUTORIALS: Proposals for full and half-day tutorials are solicited. Tutorials are intended to enhance the technical program, and as such they should be relevant to collaborative computing, networking, worksharing, and applications. Potential tutorial presenters should submit a tutorial proposal of at most three pages, including: description of potential audience and background knowledge expected from the audience, if any; tutorial description; biographical sketch of presenter(s).

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper, poster, panel, and workshop submissions will be handled electronically. Please visit the conference website www.CollaborateCom.org for detailed submission requirements and procedures.

PUBLICATION: All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by technical program committee members and the reviewers they invite. All accepted papers will made available in IEEE Xplore.

Approval has been granted for a special issue on CollaborateCom to be published on ACM/Springer MOBILE NETWORKS & APPLICATIONS (MONET). 4-6 papers on the themes related to MONET will be selected for publication on this issue. Other Journal venues are being pursued.
