About the Conference
Cooperative computing aims at enabling different parties to work together towards a pre-defined non-trivial goal. It involves important technological areas like computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), workflow, computer-assisted design, databases, distributed systems, and concurrent programming. In the past few years, the prosperity of cooperative computing has been accelerated by the ubiquity of the Internet and the advent of wireless technologies, giving rise to the new research discipline of Cooperative Internet Computing (CIC). Now, cooperating parties can work on the Internet at any time and place. At the same time, we have also witnessed an enormous leap in communication speed. This has opened up a wide range of new cooperative applications that were not feasible in the past.

Submission Guidelines & Publication
All submissions should be done online via the automated submission system.
Submissions may be in PDF, PostScript, or MS Word format, and should include an
abstract, key words, and the e-mail address of the corresponding author. The
paper should not exceed 15 pages, including tables and figures. Hard copies will
be accepted only if electronic submission is not possible. Proceedings of the
conference will be published as book chapters by World Scientific Publisher.
One author of each accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the conference. Extended version of the best papers will be considered for publication in a special journal issue of International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking.
