                           CALL FOR PAPERS 

First International Workshop on Data Consistency in Collaborative Systems 
                             (DCCS 2005)
                        http://www.dataconsistency.org 
                In conjunction with the IEEE CollaborateCom 2005
                        San Jose, USA, December 18, 2005
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE: 

Collaborative systems enable collaboration between people and computers to work
more productively in acquiring, representing, organizing, archiving,
protecting, accessing and communicating information. Consistency is one of the
most important and classical issues in collaborative systems research, ranging
from the chip level to the system level. Recent advances in collaborative
systems have introduced several new challenges to the consistency maintenance
in a decentralized, heterogeneous environment. This workshop aims to bring
together researchers from various areas of computer science whose work is
related to data replication, caching and consistency, including distributed
systems, distributed database, Web caching and content delivery network,
computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) systems, and so on. In particular,
we are interested in the latest progress on data consistency in collaborative
systems, including data consistency models, algorithms, systems, and
applications.


We solicit papers of original research including, but not limited to, the
following topics:

        * Cache modeling and analysis
        * Data consistency models
        * Cache coherence protocol
        * File and storage caching
        * Web caching and content delivery network
        * Caching and consistency in P2P systems
        * Secure data consistency
        * Concurrency control algorithms performance analysis
        * Consistency issues in wireless sensor networks

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit papers that demonstrate original and unpublished 
research in these areas. Papers should be no more than 10 pages in length
(including 
references and figures) with in IEEE double column format. All submissions
should be in 
pdf format via the cocus submission web site. 

In order to submit a paper to the conference, you 
should first register on the conference management system: 
http://cocus.create-net.it:8080/confsys/loadRegister.do?act=completeReg 
Shortly after completing the registration, you will get by e-mail a password.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the
paper 
be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop 
to present the work.
