FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
 
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT NETWORKING AND COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS (INCoS 2010)
 
November 24-26, 2010
Thessaloniki, Greece

Web Site: http://incos2010.web.auth.gr/
 
SUBMISSION Deadline: **June 28, 2010** 
 

CONFERENCE SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
This conference covers the latest advances in intelligent and adaptive solutions for social networks and collaborative systems that lead to gain competitive advantages in business and academia scenarios. The ultimate aim is to stimulate research that will lead to the creation of responsive environments for networking and, at longer-term, the development of adaptive, secure, mobile, and intuitive intelligent systems for collaborative work and learning. Industry and academic researchers, professionals and practitioners are invited to exchange their experiences and present their ideas in this field.

Topics of main interest for this conference are (but not restricted to) :

-- Internet applications that shift to an emergent Web paradigm, which locates people at the very center of networks and exploits the value of people's connections and relations. 
-- Web 2.0 and its major role to enable a new generation of social networks and web-based communities. 
-- Social network analysis as a rapidly growing field to investigate the dynamics and structure of intelligent Web-based networking and collaborative systems. 
-- Virtual campuses and organizations that strongly leverage intelligent networking and collaborative systems by a great variety of formal and informal electronic relations (business-to-business, peer-to-peer and many types of online collaborative learning interactions).
-- Latest and powerful technologies based on Grid and Wireless (Mobile) infrastructure as well as Cloud computing. 
-- Design and evaluation of Collaborative and Networking applications seen from various challenging perspectives, such as: effective and efficient knowledge management, context and user modelling techniques, exploitation of semantic web technologies, powerful adaptive solutions, design of personalized environments, dynamic formats of information shared among peers and full support for virtual communities of practice (organization, management, mobility and security).

CONFERENCE FORMAT 
The conference will comprise invited talks, plenary sessions (oral presentations), workshops/tutorials, poster presentations and PhD forum. 

PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of the previous INCoS-2009 conference were published by IEEE Conference Publishing Service in the form of CD-ROM with ISBN, and are  accessible on-line. 
Second edition (INCoS-2010) will again consider IEEE Conference Publishing Service for the proceedings.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit their work in several Journal Special Issues (to be announced). 

SUBMISSION 
Submitted papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical, experimental or application nature, or be unique experience reports. 

>>> Papers must be submitted no later than *** June 28th, 2010 *** and electronic submission in PDF is required (see webpage of conference for details). 

The page limit for a Track paper is 8 pages. 
Workshop and Special Session papers describing novel research visions, work-in-progress or best practices reports are limited to 6 pages. 
The PhD Forum is an opportunity for PhD students to present their ongoing dissertation and to discuss their research with experts in academia and industry. The page limit for PhD Forum papers is 4 pages. Poster sessions provide an excellent possibility for authors to present in an informal and interactive way their original and unpublished work that demonstrates current research about the conference topics. The page limit for Poster papers is 2 pages. 
All accepted submissions (regular, workshop, special session, poster, PhD forum paper) will be included in the proceedings of the conference.
All submissions should be in the IEEE 8.5 two-column format (see webpage of the conference for guidelines). Papers should contain up to 5 keywords. Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness, and will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.
All accepted papers must be accompanied by a full paid registration by at least one of the authors in order to be included in the proceedings. All full papers are to be submitted in PDF electronically via the conference web site.

ORGANIZATION
After its kick-off in Barcelona, Spain (http://www.uoc.edu/symposia/incos2009 ) the 2nd INCoS will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece (http://incos2010.web.auth.gr ) a city with rich culture and history, second major economic, industrial, commercial and political centre in Greece. 

Organized by: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece & University of Macedonia, Greece
