                        3rd International Workshop on:

                WEB-BASED INFRASTRUCTURES AND COORDINATION
               ARCHITECTURES FOR COLLABORATIVE ENTERPRISES
                     http://www.dsi.unimo.it/wetice2001			

          at the 10th IEEE WETICE Workshops on Enabling Technologies:
               Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises
             http://www.ida.liu.se/conferences/WETICE/WETICE2001/


                                June 20-22
       Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The workshop addresses the question of how Web techniques can be used
to achieve or to improve collaboration within or between organizations,
and which coordination mechanisms could be used in such an architecture.

This problem area addresses both technical and organizational issues.
The involved organizations are typically enterprises in different
spheres of power such that it is not reasonable to require a common
structure, or to align the structure for a certain collaboration purpose.
But how can a system enable the participants for flexible and effective
collaboration?

Should we concentrate on developing an infrastructure for sharing
artifacts (e.g., documents, files, data)? Should we develop a shared
language (e.g., XML, RDF) to exchange business information which
represents an external representation of the private artifacts? Or will
we need a richer communication infrastructure supporting shared virtual
spaces (e.g., tuple spaces, MUDs) where people are "in the system" rather
than purely using artifacts of a system?

While the above issues address the primitive level of collaboration and
coordination, their effective use requires higher-level mechanisms and
procedures as well. In fact, a collaborative application can reflect the
real-world organizations overlaying the system or even become part of
the organization itself. The system must therefore both enforce specific
organizational rules (e.g. workflow rules) and facilitate knowledge
management and exchange. From this perspective, the workshop is
interested not only in "collaborative systems", but also in the models
and infrastructures needed for enabling human organizations, or hybrid
organizations made up of both human and software agents/processes, to
effectively interact and cooperate.

TOPICS:

A list of topics of interest includes (but is not limited to):

- Collaborative Applications
     virtual organisations
     show case scenarios
     reports on hands-on experiences
- Infrastructure and Technology
     coordination models and languages for the Web
     workflow languages
     languages and architectures for Web interoperability
     use of recent Internet and Web standards
     agent based approaches
     support for mobile users and software
- Development of Collaborative Applications
     engineering methodologies for collaborative Web applications
     collaboration versus competition
     development methodologies, tools and platforms
     coordination patterns


WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. The workshop
will consist of 3 sessions presenting and discussing papers and a final
working session preparing the workshop report. 40% of the workshop's
time will be dedicated to discussion.


SUBMISSION DETAILS

Papers should contain original contributions not published or submitted
elsewhere, and references to related state-of-the-art work. Authors of
accepted papers are expected to present their views of the field at the
oral presentation.

Papers up to six pages (including figures, tables and references) can be
submitted. Papers should follow the IEEE format, which is single spaced,
two columns, 10 pt Times/Roman font. Detailed format instructions
can be found at http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm

Papers should include a title, the name and affiliation of each author,
an abstract of up to 150 words and no more than eight keywords.

Papers should be submitted via Web using the appropriate Web
submission form at:
			http://www.ani.univie.ac.at/wetice01ws

Authors are also required to provide contact addresses, if different
from the submitting electronic address.


PROCEEDINGS

Full papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the
post-proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

The best paper of the workshop will be nominated for the WETICE
best-paper award.

Paper submissions are not required for participation in the workshop.

If you have further questions or remarks, don't hesitate to contact the
workshop organizers.
