Call for Workshop Proposals: WETICE-2004

 Due by October 27, 2003

  WET ICE-2004 will consist of a series of individual workshops, each including paper presentations and working group discussions, with the exact format to be determined by the workshop organizers. In addition, there will be joint plenary sessions and a final session to summarize each group抯 findings.  To avoid duplication of workshop topics, please see the list of ongoing workshops of WETICE.

   The workshop proposals should focus on the infrastructures issues related to collaboration in diverse application domains. The following is a non-exhaustive list of relevant topics. Prospective workshop proposers may combine these and other topics into a coherent theme.
