Networks and user applications have evolved from centralized computing platforms to distributed collaborative computing services. Collaboration as a fundamental capability of networks represents a significant step forward. Collaborative network nodes can jointly achieve advanced networking goals beyond relaying packets. Collaborative user applications enable people and computers to work together more productively. Collaboration computing techniques can also support intelligent reconfiguration and performance tuning of software, systems, overlay network architectures and topologies to meet diverse and evolving application requirements.
The 2nd International Conference on Collaborative Computing (CollaborateCom 2006) is being launched to serve as a premier international forum for discussions among academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and students interested in collaborative networking, worksharing, and applications.
