Panel Abstract:
Collaborative computing has included many areas of computer science, e.g., CSCW (Computer Supported Collaborative Work), CoopIS (Cooperative Information Systems), workflow, groupware, collaborative filtering, and communications infrastructure, to name just a few. As the scope of collaboration grows wider, there is an increasing recognition that collaboration is a valid alternative to hierarchical organization. The panel will discuss the issues, tools, and the tension between collaborative and hierarchical organizations, with particular focus on enterprises.
Panelists:
- Yuecel Karabulut (SAP, Germany)
- Anish Mehta (Tata Consultancy Services, India)
- Bernardo Huberman (HP Labs, USA)
- Chengzheng Sun (Nayang Technological University, Singapore)
Panelists will give a short (10-15min) interactive introduction, followed by discussions.

Collaborative computing has emerged as a promising paradigm for developing large-scale distributed systems. Peer to Peer (P2P) and Grid computing represent a significant step towards global collaboration, a fundamental capability of network computing. Many have characterized collaborative network computing systems as self-organizing and self-repairing distributed systems that cooperate to exchange data and accomplish computing tasks. These systems have transpired as the dominant consumer of residential Internet subscribers' bandwidth, and are being increasingly used in many different application domains, ranging from commercial to scientific to military. With rapid advances in wireless and mobile communication technologies, such as wireless mesh networks, wireless LANs, and 3G cellular networks, collaborative computing is moving into wireless networking, mobile computing, and sensor network applications. In this panel, we will discuss some important opportunities and challenges of collaborative networks, collaborative systems, and applications and how they evolve towards global collaborative computing paradigms. The panel consists of experts in computer network, distributed systems, and computer simulation and e-science.
The panelists will present their positions by answering to and debating on the following questions.
Question 1: Are all distributed systems collaborative systems? What are the key properties that distinguish collaborative computing networks, systems, and applications from other types of distributed systems?
Question 2: Will collaborative computing become a dominating paradigm in future computing environments?
We need some panelists to be the promoter of this arguments and some be the opponent of this argument. This will make the panel interesting.
Question 3: What would be the three most important research questions and challenges for building and/or deploying large scale collaborative computing networks, systems, and applications)?
