SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
--------------------------------------
Recent technology directions have highlighted the remarkable commercial
developments in the cloud arena combined with a suite of Web technologies
around mashups, gadgets and social networking. These technologies have
clear relevance to collaborative systems and sensor grids that involve
evolution of grid architectures to clouds or to fresh approaches such as
social networking for building virtual organizations. This workshop
explores this area and invites exploratory papers as well as mature
research contributions.

CSWC Possible topics include but are not limited to:
 - Clouds and Web Technologies to Support Collaboration and Shared Services
and Activities
 - Architectures and Platforms for Business through Collaboration, Data
Management and Workflows
 - Models for Managing Clouds of Clouds, including Inter-networking
 - Mobile clouds -- Architectures, Performance, Applications
 - Clouds and Web Solutions to Support People, Product & Process
 - Collaborative Cloud Services and Applications
 - Relation between Grids and Clouds in their application to Sensors
Systems for Collaboration
 - Data driven applications and use of emerging technologies like Mashups,
Gadgets and Hadoop
 - Clouds for Social Networking and Virtual Organizations
 - Sensors, Internet of Things and Clouds for Collaborative Activities and
Work
 - Web Services & Technologies for Collaborative Work and Applications
 - Performance and Experiences using Web and Cloud Technologies for
Collaboration
 - Security, Privacy, and Trust issues in Clouds and Web Collaboration
 - MapReduce
 - Virtualization
 - Interoperability and Standardization
 - e-Science
 - Supply Chain Collaboration and Inventory Tracking

Proceedings:
------------------
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings.
Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on
the CTS 2016 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings
formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of
the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE
Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly.
