CVRE06 Workshop ----- deadline for submission: May 20

["Wang, XD (Xiao)" <x....@dl.ac.uk>]

> 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 Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished work focusing on VRE related techniques.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 (x.yang@dl.ac.uk , xiaobo.yang@gmail.com ). It is recommended paper to be submitted to both email accounts with > "> CVRE06 - paper submission> ">  as the title. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register at GCC 2006 and present the paper at the workshop.
