Más información sobre el libro

CollaborateCom is an annual international forum focused on sharing original ideas and research in collaborative computing networks, systems, and applications. A key objective is to unite researchers from diverse fields such as networking, systems, CSCW, collaborative learning, and education. The 2008 conference in Orlando, Florida, marked the fourth in the series, highlighting the rapid growth of collaborative computing as both a research and application domain. Recent advancements in various computing sectors, including multi-core architectures, 3G/4G wireless networks, Web 2.0 technologies, cloud computing, and software as a service, have significantly enhanced global interconnectivity. The potential for collaboration among different components now surpasses the capabilities of traditional system integration and interoperability methods. As we move towards a future of limitless connectivity and global computing, collaboration emerges as a critical challenge across diverse areas such as eCommerce, eGovernment, eScience, and information management. Collaborative computing acts as the essential link that integrates components and facilitates their interaction. The conference and its community of researchers showcase the tangible progress being made towards this vision, with gratitude extended to all who contributed to its success.
