The Sixth Annual Workshop on Advanced Collaborative Environments will
focus on the research, technological, and social issues of developing
persistent collaboration infrastructure.
This year WACE will be held in Geneva as part of a conference on
Shaping the Future of Collaboration in Global Science Projects. This
conference, co-organized by WACE and users of the Large Hadron
Collider will focus on the needs and challenges that the LHC
community will face in conducting a global scientific collaboration.
The WACE program will be held on days 2 and 3 of this 3-day
conference and will focus on emerging, advanced collaborative
technologies and their use.
The goal of this workshop is to provide an open, technical forum to
discuss high-end, high-value solutions for supporting scientific,
engineering or humanities collaboration. When developing position
papers, baseline assumptions about the evolution of future computing
technologies (for example, networking, computing, storage, and
displays) useful for collaboration environments should be taken into
account. The workshop intends to look at future-generation systems.
For example, the following future infrastructure predictions are
likely to affect collaboration systems:
Widespread deployment of high performance networking
Continued increases in computing power available both to end-users
and through high-end computing facilities
Expanding needs and abilities to store, curate and retrieve large
volumes of data
Increasing availability of large, high-resolution displays
Broad adoption of mobile computing devices
Application of new types of instrumentation, such as sensor networks
Position papers are being solicited on topics including, but not
limited to, the following:
High-end, high-value solutions collaboration technologies
New ideas and concepts for advanced collaboration environments
Removal of barriers to more rapid adoption of high-end technologies
Roadmaps for development of high-end collaborative technologies
Tools for monitoring and evaluating the performance of collaborations
Software for advanced collaboration environments
Applications of collaborative technologies in science, engineering or
the humanities
Overall registration for the workshop will be limited to 75
participants.
