| WACE registration is now open: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/wace The Sixth Annual Workshop on Advanced Collaborative Environments will focus on the research, technological, and social issues of developing persistent collaboration infrastructure. This year WACE will be held in Geneva as part of a conference on Shaping the Future of Collaboration in Global Science Projects. This conference, co-organized by WACE and users of the Large Hadron Collider will focus on the needs and challenges that the LHC community will face in conducting a global scientific collaboration. The WACE program will be held on days 2 and 3 of this 3-day conference and will focus on emerging, advanced collaborative technologies and their use. The goal of this workshop is to provide an open, technical forum to discuss high-end, high-value solutions for supporting scientific, engineering or humanities collaboration. When developing position papers, baseline assumptions about the evolution of future computing technologies (for example, networking, computing, storage, and displays) useful for collaboration environments should be taken into account. The workshop intends to look at future-generation systems. For example, the following future infrastructure predictions are likely to affect collaboration systems:
Position papers are being solicited on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
Overall registration for the workshop will be limited to 75 participants. |
