The 6th International Workshop on Distributed and Mobile Collaboration (DMC 2008)
https://www.vitalab.tuwien.ac.at/DMC2008
Held at the 17th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures
for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE-2008)
June 23-25, 2008, Rome, Italy
Full paper submission: March 3, 2008
Workshop Activities and Goals
=============================
Software architectures for distributed and mobile cooperative communities must support the
fundamental requirements for distributed cooperation: efficient and semantically enhanced
information sharing across a widely distributed environment; constant and timely update of
distributed knowledge bases with many different sites acting both as potential users and
potential providers of information; shared access to a services; security and trust in these
environments, different access modes to the same information, and so on. These cross-cutting
questions require an interdisciplinary view on the domain and input from a variety of fields,
such as workflow systems, groupware and CSCW, event-based systems, software architecture,
distributed database systems, mobile computing, pervasive computing, Grid computing etc.
This workshop addresses the interdisciplinary issues of the domain and bring together researchers
and practitioners from distributed systems, workflow, CSCW, mobile data management, databases,
knowledge management/semantics, grid computing, and software engineering to discuss the common
interests, share and exchange expertise and results, appreciate each other's results and contributions,
and to provide application developers with facilities (middleware, infrastructures, architectures, tools)
that enable the development and deployment of applications supporting distributed collaboration in
mobile and pervasive environments.

Paper submission
================
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 should also provide contact addresses, if
different from the submitting electronic address. All submissions should be electronic (in PDF) and
will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of three programm commitee members.
