> International Workshop on Collaborative Virtual Research Environments (CVRE06) > October 21-23, 2006, Changsha, Hunan, China > To be held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Grid and > Cooperative Computing (GCC 2006) > <http://vce.org.cn/gcc2006/> > 1. Call for papers > Description > There are always demands for collaboration in research communities today > since problems are becoming increasingly challenging. While collaboration > within a community such as biology and chemistry is necessary, it becomes > ever more important as problems cross subjects boundaries, creating the need > for collaboration between different research communities. For example, > research in social science may involve analysing statistics from large data > sets, and computer scientists are needed to help to make use of the grid > technology to access and manipulate the data as well as design interfaces for > presenting user-friendly results. > > With emerging grid and web technologies, such as portals and portlets, it is > now possible to construct collaborative Virtual Research Environments (VRE) > based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) for diverse research communities > such as in biology, chemistry, physics, social science and other disciplines. > A typical VRE involves the integration of heterogeneous backend resources, > such as computers and storage, and all kinds of communications including > instant messages, audio/video conferencing and online presentations. VREs are > helping to hide complex backend processes, aid researchers efficiently > utilising distributed resources, and are providing convenient tools to ensure > that application scientists can concentrate on their areas of expertise. This > workshop aims to bring researchers together to discuss and explore issues > related to VRE tools, services and applications. > Scope > The main topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: > * Collaborative and other services, > * Portal frameworks, > * Portlet technologies including JSR 168/286 and WSRP, > * Workflow systems, > * Security, > * Evaluation of tools, services, usability, reliability, and performance, > * Lessons from the past research on VRE, > * Examples of VRE that benefit research communities. > 2. Paper Submission > Submission Requirements > Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished work focusing on VRE > related techniques. Manuscripts up to 12 pages should be written in English > with single-spaced pages of text using 10 point size type on 8.5X11 inch > paper. The format should be referred to the Springer-Verlag > "> Proceedings > and Other Multiauthor Volumes> "> format > (<http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html>). > Papers in PDF, PS (level 2) or Word format should be submitted to Xiaobo > Yang ([EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED] ). It is recommended paper to be > submitted to both email accounts with > "> CVRE06 - paper submission> "> as > the title.
