--Scope and Background

Collaboration Technologies have been widely studied and are becoming

an important, emerging area in the field of Autonomous Agents,

Multi-Agent Systems, Knowledge Management, and Communications. In

general, collaboration technologies can be useful to promote human

life and activities as application. And also, collaboration

technologies with communication and negotiation between agents are

promising technologies to enhance their performance in e-commerce,

e-learning, e-business and e-government. Software agents can support

automation or simulation on the behalf of their owners, and can

provide them with sophisticated services. To realize such useful

service applying collaborative technologies, we have to incorporate

advanced Artificial Intelligence technologies includes search, CSP,

graphical utility models, Bays nets, auctions, utility graphs,

predicting and learning methods. Applications could include e-commerce

tools, decision-making support tools, negotiation support tool

s,

collaboration tools, etc. We solicit papers on all aspects of

collaboration technologies, including but not limited to:

- Communication and Collaboration

- Agent-based Negotiations

- Knowledge Management

- Multiple Negotiations

- Electronic Commerce

- E-Business and E-Shopping

- Automated E-Support

- Negotiation and Cooperation Mechanisms

- Negotiation under Imcomplete Information

- Large Scale Negotiation and Collaboration

- Collective Intelligence

- Matchmaking and Brokering Mechanisms

- Auction and Groupbuy

- 2-sided Matching

- Multi-sided Negotiations.

- Knowledge Sharing

- Social Networking Services

- Automated Collaboration

- Applications

These issues are being explored by researchers from different

communities in Collaboration Techbologies. The goal of this workshop

is to bring together researchers from these communities to learn about

each other's approaches, form long-term collaborations, and

cross-fertilize the different areas to accelerate progress towards

scaling up to larger and more realistic applications.

--Important dates

FEBRUARY 15th, 2011 - Paper submission

MARCH 1, 2011 - Workshop paper acceptance notification

MARCH 20, 2011 - Workshop paper acceptance notification

MAY 23-25, 2011 - Workshop will take place in conjunction with CNSI 2011

--Paper Submission

Submission page : http://www.e-activity.org/cta2011/submission/

We encourage submission in IEEE CS style format. (See the IEEE CS home

page:). All submissions must include the author's name(s),

affiliation, complete mailing address, phone number, fax number and

email address. All papers must be submitted in PDF format.

The conference is soliciting Full papers (6 pages), and Short papers

(4 pages) on all aspects of the above research areas. Submitted papers

will be evaluated on significance, originality, technical quality, and

exposition. They should clearly establish the research contribution.

All accepted papers will be provided an oral presentation at the

conference.

Multiple submission policy for papers: Papers that are being submitted

to other conferences, whether verbatim or in essence, must reflect

this fact on the title page. Each paper needs to be reviewed by at

least three PC members or experts in the field.

--Publication:

CTA 2011 Proceedings will be published by IEEE and would be indexed by

EI, INSPEC, and DBLP

Selected papers that are also presented at the conference will be

published the expanded versions of their papers in an approved special

issue of the International Journal of Computer and Information

Science.
