Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Collaborative Computing - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
On behalf of the Editorial Board and the Advisory Board, we are pleased to welcome all to the inaugural issue of the EAI Endorsed Transactions on Collaborative Computing. This journal reflects the increasing maturity of the growing community of researchers involved in various areas of collaborative systems, networks, infrastructures and applications. The journal is also aligned with our IEEE/EAI International Conference on Collaborative Computing: Networking, Applications and Worksharing (IEEE/EAI CollaborateCom) which has nurtured the community. We could not find a better timing for this inaugural issue than the 10th anniversary of IEEE/EAI CollaborateCom that will be held in Miami, USA on Oct 22-25, 2014. Given the ongoing rapid advances in computing and information technologies, we see unprecedented collaboration opportunities for individuals and distributed teams of humans, computer systems and applications, and highly heterogeneous computing devices. The contributions from the community have evolved from standalone tools to open systems, and further, from general purpose tools to specialized collaboration infrastructures that facilitate intensive collaboration in multi-organizational settings, reaching towards global scale social interactions and worksharing. Such collaboration-enhancing technologies enable large and globally dispersed organizations to achieve a much higher level of productivity and efficiency while accelerating innovation. The goal of this journal is to serve as a premier international venue for publishing innovative and cutting edge research results in theory as well as applied systems, applications and networking areas that enable intensive and efficient collaboration across and among networked cyberphysical and social systems and applications, individuals as well as enterprises. Novel collaboration solutions that fully realize the promises of electronic collaboration, and pushes the limits of human endeavor, productivity and discovery require innovations and advancements in broad areas of computing including networking, systems and applications, user interfaces and interaction paradigms, and seamless interoperation among system, network and applicationspecific components and tools. Sample topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, and citizen science, Theoretical foundations and algorithms for collaborative networks, applications, and infrastructures, Architectures, protocols, and enabling technologies for collaborative networks, systems and applications Autonomic computing and quality of services in collaborative networks, systems, and applications Collaboration in context-aware, pervasive, cloud computing, and social networking environments Cyber physical and Cyber human environments, and Internet of Things (IoT) Collaborative multimedia systems/applications, large scale databases and BigData Collaboration in e-health, e-learning, e-government, and digital libraries Collaborative network infrastructures such as body area networks, wireless sensor networks, VANETS, mobile networks, etc. Models and mechanisms for real-time and large scale collaboration, information and work sharing Security, privacy, resiliency/survivability and trust management in collaborative networks, systems, and applications Simulation, performance evaluation, experiments, and case studies of collaborative environments Collaborative web services technologies, business processes, workflows, and service-oriented systems and architectures Etc.
