WET ICE '95 IEEE Fourth Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises By Invitation
Coolfont Resort, Conference Center, and Health Spa Berkeley Springs, West Virginia April 20-22, 1995
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society supported by AAAI in cooperation with ACM SIGOIS conducted by CERC, West Virginia University
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 will be presented in the following categories: Process; Computer Aided Design, Databases, and Ontology; Multimedia; Mobile Computing; and Collaborative Environments. In addition, half of the workshop agenda will be devoted to parallel working groups to allow participants to discuss key issues with other experts.
Registration to the workshop is by invitation only and is based on papers submitted to the workshop. Additional participants, however, may be invited upon submission of a letter to the Workshop Chair at this address (et-wkshp@cerc.wvu.edu) specifying how the individual can contribute to the workshop.
