WORKSHOP ON ADVANCED COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Thursday, September 23, 2004
Four Points by Sheraton Elysee Palace
Nice, France
Fourth Annual Workshop on Advanced Collaborative Environments
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/wace/
__Deadline for submissions: JULY 15, 2004
Please submit extended abstracts (2 pages maximum)
Electronic submissions are strongly preferred, but hardcopy submissions
will be accepted.
Any questions concerning hardcopy submission or any other issues may be
directed to wace at mcs.anl.gov.
___Notification of acceptance: AUGUST 1, 2004

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.
