These have clear relevance to collaborative systems and sensor grids that involve evolution of grid architectures to clouds or to fresh approaches such as social networking to building virtual organizations. This workshop explores this area and invites exploratory papers as well as mature research contributions. <br><br>CSWC Possible topics include but are not limited to: <br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Performance and experience using Clouds and Web 2.0 to support sensors or collaboration<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Relation of Grids and Clouds in their application to sensors or collaboration<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Data driven applications and use of emerging technologies like Mashups, gadgets and Hadoop<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Clouds for Social Networking and Virtual Organizations<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Security, Privacy, and Trust issues in Clouds and Web 2.0<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• MapReduce<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Virtualization<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Interoperability and Standardization<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• e-Science<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Architectures<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Services and Applications<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Models for Managing Clouds of Clouds and including Inter-networking<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>• Mobile clouds -- Architectures and Performance<br><br>SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:<br><br>You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to Cloud services and Web 2.0 technologies for Collaboration, distributed sensing and related topics. 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 8 pages using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and poster (please refer to <a href="http://cts2014.cisedu.info/home/posters">http://cts2014.cisedu.info/home/posters</a> for the posters submission details) will also be accepted. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. <br><br>Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via email to the workshop organizers at <br><br><a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cswc2014">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cswc2014</a>. <br><br>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, contributions, 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. <br><br>Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the CTS 2014 Conference web site. 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 by all major indexing services accordingly. <br><br>If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the workshop organizers. <br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>Paper Submissions: -------------------------------------- January 14, 2014<br>Acceptance Notification: -------------------------------- February 07, 2014<br>Camera Ready Papers and Registration Due: --------- February 21, 2014<br>Conference Dates: --------------------------------------- May 19 - 23, 2014<br><br>WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS:<br><br>Geoffrey Charles Fox <br>Indiana University - Bloomington, Indiana, USA<br><a href="mailto:gcf@indiana.edu">gcf@indiana.edu</a><br><br>Ivan Rodero <br>Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA<br><a href="mailto:irodero@rutgers.edu">irodero@rutgers.edu</a><br><br>Leandro Navarro <br>Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain<br><a href="mailto:leandro@ac.upc.edu">leandro@ac.upc.edu</a><br><br>Kyle Chard<br>University of Chicago/Argonne National Laboratory<br><a href="mailto:chard@uchicago.edu">chard@uchicago.edu</a><br><br>For information or questions about Conference's paper submission, tutorials, posters, workshops, special sessions, exhibits, demos, panels and forums organization, doctoral colloquium, and any other information about the conference location, registration, paper formatting, etc., please consult the Conference’s web site at URL: <a href="http://cts2014.cisedu.info/">http://cts2014.cisedu.info/</a> or contact one of the Conference's organizers or Co-Chairs.<br><br>=============================================================<br>Ivan Rodero, Ph.D.<br>Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute (RDI2) <br>NSF Center for Cloud and Autonomic Computing (CAC)<br>Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering <br>Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey <br>Office: CoRE Bldg, Rm 625 <br>94 Brett Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854-8058<br>Phone: (732) 993-8837<br>Fax: (732) 445-0593<br>Email: irodero at rutgers dot edu<br>WWW: <a href="http://nsfcac.rutgers.edu/people/irodero">http://nsfcac.rutgers.edu/people/irodero</a><br>=============================================================</body></html>
