WET ICE '95 Fourth IEEE Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises April 20-22, 1995 Berkeley Springs, West Virginia
The Concurrent Engineering Research Center (CERC) at West Virginia University, with sponsorship from the IEEE Computer Society, will conduct the Fourth Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises on April 20-22, 1995, in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. The workshop goal is to focus on infrastructural issues related to collaboration in diverse application domains, ranging from engineering to healthcare.
Papers reporting survey, original research, design and development, and applications of enabling technologies for collaboration are sought in the following areas:
Virtual team support environments Mediators to support collaborative activities Information sharing in distributed systems Enterprise modeling Process modelling and characterization Integration of heterogeneous and legacy databases Applications of collaborative technologies in * healthcare * software engineering * electronic commerce * etc. Projects and team coordination Requirements, constraints Mobile computing Workflow tracking and management tools Networked collocation Tools for multi-media conferencing Capture of design intent and intelligent retrieval of corporate knowledge Enterprise integration frameworks
A copy of this Call for Papers can also be found on our World-Wide-Web server at http://www.cerc.wvu.edu/WETICE95_cfp.html.
Instructions for Submitting Manuscripts
Papers should be no more than 25 typewritten, double-spaced, single-sided pages including all text, figures, and references. Papers should not have been published or be currently under submission for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should have a title page that includes the title of the paper and the full name, affiliation, postal address, electronic address, and telephone number of each author. Authors also are encouraged to write a 300-word abstract and a list of keywords that identify the central issues of the paper. Paper copies or PostScript files submitted electronically are acceptable. Electronic submission is the preferred mode.

WET ICE '94 Synopsis --------------------
Advances in database and networking technology, groupware, multi-media, graphical user-interfaces, and a precipitous drop in the "cost of computing" point the way to the possibility of creating a truly collaborative environment that transcends the barriers of distance, time, and heterogeneity of computer equipment. The ideal collaborative environment will enable any member of a team to spontaneously communicate (and thereby collaborate) with any other member (or a group of members) of a team.
The IEEE Third Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises focused precisely on these issues. Scientists and practitioners from around the world gathered to explore the possibilities of what technology holds for us. The proceedings is a compendium of 24 scientific papers and three working group reports on various technologies that enable collaboration. Abstracts of the papers are available electronically from IEEE Computer Society's gopher server (gopher info.computer.org; or telnet info.computer.org, login: guest). Copies of the WET ICE '94 proceedings can be ordered from the IEEE Computer Society Press by calling 1-800-CS-BOOKS (1-800-272-6657) within the United States or 1-714-821-8380 from outside the United States. Copies are $25 for IEEE members and $50 for non-members. Specify the title "Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises, April 17-19, 1994" when ordering. Proceedings of the Second Workshop are also available.
