CollabTech 2011

The 6th International Conference on Collaboration Technologies

Dates: August, 29-31, 2011

Location: Tokyo, Japan

Conference Website: http://www.collabtech.org

Co-organized by IPSJ SIG-GN, HIS SIG-CE, and VRSJ SIG-CyberSpace

==========================================

CollabTech 2011 will be the sixth international conference on

collaboration technologies. Due to marked advances in networking,

computing and interaction technologies, we are at the cusp of

collaboration technologies being a part of an intricate

network of various types of everyday collaborative processes.

The conference will provide a platform for the international

collaboration technology community to showcase, discuss and

deliberate on state-of-the art, emerging new technology developments

and understanding the social use of these technologies to improve

collaborations.

CollabTech would also like to encourage you to use this opportunity to

present challenging studies, which may be at a very early stage of their

system development, or their exploration of new evaluation methods,

but may trigger exciting technology.

[TOPICS]
