WORKSHOP:             Web-based Infrastructures and 
         Coordination Architectures for Collaborative Enterprises

CALL FOR PAPERS  - DEADLINE MARCH 31!!

This workshop continues two threads of workshops in the WETICE series that 
were held over the last four years. In general these workshops addressed 
the question of how Web techniques can be used to achieve or to improve
collaboration within or between organizations, and which coordination 
mechanisms could be used in such an architecture. 

A list of topics of interest includes (but is not limited to): 

Collaborative Applications 
     virtual organisations 
     show case scenarios 
     reports on hands-on experiences 
Infrastructure and Technology 
     coordination models and languages for the Web 
     workflow languages 
     languages and architectures for Web interoperability 
     use of recent Internet and Web standards 
     agent based approaches 
     support for mobile users and software 
Development of Collaborative Applications 
     engineering methodologies for collaborative Web applications 
     collaboration versus competition 
     development methodologies, tools and platforms 
     coordination patterns 

Workshop Organization

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. The workshop will 
consist of 3 sessions presenting and discussing papers and a final working 
session preparing the workshop report. 40% of the workshop's time will be 
dedicated to discussion. Each paper presentation should provide answers 
and/or considerations related to a list of main questions/topics that each 
presenter will receive prior to the workshop. 

Submission Details

Papers should contain original contributions not published or submitted 
elsewhere, and references to related state-of-the-art work. Authors of 
accepted papers are expected to present their views of the field at 
the oral presentation. 

Papers up to six pages (including figures, tables and references) can be 
submitted. Papers should follow the IEEE format , which is single spaced, 
two columns, 10 pt Times/Roman font. Papers should include a title, the name 
and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words and no more 
than eight keywords. Authors are also required to provide contact addresses,
if different from the submitting electronic address. 

Please, submit your paper in electronic format (PostScript or PDF) via the
following WWW-Interface (thanks to David Nicol for providing WIMPE):

        http://scylla.ani.univie.ac.at/~wetice2k/forms/authpaper_reg.html 

Additionally, authors may send the URL of their paper and/or of their 
home page to be included into the WWW page of the workshop. 

As an exception, papers may also be submitted as hardcopies. In that case
submit 5 copies of your paper to one of the organisers. 

Interested experts in one or many of the workshop's focal points are invited
to  register as a referee via 

        http://scylla.ani.univie.ac.at/~wetice2k/forms/referee_reg.html 

Full papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the
post-proceedings. 

The best paper of the workshop will be nominated for the WETICE best-paper
award. 

Paper submissions are not required for participation in the workshop. If you 
plan to participate and want to receive a copy of the question/topics-list 
prior to the workshop, please contact the organizers. 

If you have further questions or remarks, don't hesitate to contact the
workshop organizers.
