Hi pals, passing this along: Don't know enough about what it is, but some of you might 
want to follow-up on it.

       Dear Colleagues, Hope you are interested in the CFP for Workshop on Adaptive 
Collaboration.
http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/10/main/callForPapers.jsp
     workshop on Adaptive Collaboration   (AC 2010)

CALL FOR PAPERS As part of The 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies 
and
Systems (CTS 2010)    http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/10/main/callForPapers.jsp
        May 17 – 21, 2010    The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center    Chicago, Illinois, USA

Submission Deadline: December 27, 2009

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Adaptation is a special property of human beings as highly 
intelligent creatures.  It is also an emerging requirement for contemporary 
collaboration-related and computer-based applications, such as Service
Computing (SC) systems, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)   systems, Man-Machine 
(MM) systems, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) systems, Sensor Network (SN) systems, 
Social Networks (SN) and production systems.  Adaptive Collaboration (AC) is to provide 
general methodologies and mechanisms to support adaptivity of collaboration so
as to improve the group performance of collaboration.  Adaptive collaboration is 
significantly challenging.  For instance, user/agent modelling, user/agent information 
acquisition, environment information acquisition, group structures, role/task models, 
user/agent evaluation, and dynamic role/task assignment must be addressed in order to 
facilitate adaptive collaboration.
     The workshop will present techniques, methodologies, algorithms, system integrations, 
and architectures issues related to Adaptive Collaboration.
         Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to) the following: Solicited 
topics are welcomed to address adaptation from the viewpoint of collaboration and include, 
but are not limited to:
 Adaptation Methods & Techniques
 Adaptive Computing
 Adaptive Networks for Collaboration
 Adaptive Services
 Adaptive Man-Machine Systems
 Adaptation Languages
 Adaptive User Interfaces
 Information Infrastructures for Adaptive Collaboration
 Support for Adaptive Collaboration
 Adaptive Social Networks
 Dynamic Role/Task Assignment
 Environnent Information Acquisition
 Individual Performance Models
 Group Structure
 Adaptive Groups
 Group Performance Models
 Role/Task Models
 User/Agent Evaluation
 User/Agent Modelling
 User/Agent Information Acquisition
 Adaptive Collaborative Learning
 Adaptive Supply Chains and Logistics
 Adaptive Production Systems
 Adaptation for e-Business Processes and Operations


PAPER SUBMISSION You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on 
above and other topics related to Adaptive Collaboration.  Submitted papers must not have 
been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.  Submission should include a cover 
page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email
addresses.  Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords 
from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words.  The full 
manuscript should be at most 10 pages using the two-column IEEE format.  Additional pages 
will be charged at additional fee.  Some papers can be accepted as short papers, with a 
total length reduced to 5 pages.  Please include page numbers on all submissions to make 
it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.  Submit a PDF copy of your full 
manuscript via email to the Workshop organizer at roles at nipissingu.ca and
haibinz.zhu at gmail.com.  Paper reception will be acknowledged by e-mail within 2 days.

Only PDF files will be accepted, sent by email to the workshop
organizers.  Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews.
Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance,
technical clarity and presentation.  Submission implies the
willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the
paper, if accepted.  Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that
their papers will be registered and presented at the workshop.

Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium proceedings.
Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be
posted on the CTS 2010 Symposium web site later.  It is our intent to
have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be
available at the time of the conference.  The proceedings is projected
to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed accordingly.
