>
> This workshop will address research, technological, and social issues 
> of developing persistent collaboration infrastructure to address the 
> needs of emerging communities. Examples of such communities include 
> the following:
>
> •	Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
> •	Nanoscience and Molecular Technology
> •	Wide Area Environmental Sensing
> •	Biomedical Imaging and Simulation
> •	Education, Humanities and Technology
> •	Unique One-of-a-Kind Facilities
>
> The goal of the workshop is to provide an open technical forum to 
> promote the discussion of high-end, high-value solutions to the 
> problem of supporting distributed collaboration. Baseline assumptions 
> about the evolution of future computing technologies (e.g., 
> networking, computing, storage, and displays) useful for collaboration 
> environments should be taken into account in developing position 
> papers. The workshop intends to look at future-generation systems. The 
> following are examples of future infrastructure predictions likely to 
> affect collaboration systems:
>
> •	Network bandwidth – gigabits/s to terabits/s
> •	Display – desktop monitors to room-oriented systems
> •	Computing – gigaflops to teraflops PCs
> •	Mobile devices – PDAs to personal information accessories
> •	Storage – gigabytes to personal terabytes
> •	Ubiquitous grid software environments
>
> Position papers are being solicited on topics including but not 
> limited to:
>
> •	Requirements for emerging collaborative communities
> •	Roadmaps for development of high-end collaborative technologies
> •	High-end, high-value solutions for scientific communities
> •	Modes of evaluating high-end collaborative technologies
> •	What is beyond VR, video, audio, and text?
> •	Use of collaboration technologies in the humanities
> •	Removal of barriers to more rapid adoption of high-end technologies
> •	Software environments for advanced collaboration environments
>
> Overall registration for the workshop will be limited to 75 
> participants.
