We would like to invite you to submit a paper to the 2nd Int. WS on
Collaborative e-Learning Systems and Applications (CESA 2009), which will be
held in Fukuoka, Japan, March 16-19, 2009.
The final DEADLINE for receiving papers is OCTOBER 30th, 2008.
We would appreciate if you could send us an abstract by October 15th.
We would like to direct your attention to the fact that the authors of
accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their
papers for possible inclusion as a chapter in the forthcoming book by

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Collaborative learning systems have caused a drastic change in the way
people focus work and learning, especially at a distance. An influencing
issue concerns the analysis of both the systems performance and group
interactions. The latter constitutes an important factor for group
monitoring, support and performance. To support and enhance collaboration
and learning, P2P and grid middleware and applications have opened new
interesting possibilities. One the one hand, P2P allows collaborators to
share their own resources; on the other hand, grid facilitates the access to
remote learning services and resources not affordable locally as well as the
increase of the participants' capacity to carry out specific tasks. Special
emphasis is given to systems and applications that focus on participants
that provide their own resources for the achievement of their goals.
This workshop aims at providing a forum for academic researchers,
professionals and practitioners to exchange their experiences and their
ideas about problems and solutions related to the design, development and
use of groupware learning systems and applications. Researchers can report
their ideas, models, designs and experiences on the proposed topics.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Monitoring and analysis of group interactions
Group awareness and scaffolding
Collaborative learning applications and case studies
Nomadic and mobile collaborative work
Multi-agent systems to support collaborative work
Semantic grid and ontologies for collaborative learning
P2P and grid-based applications for collaborative learning
P2P and grid middleware for collaboration
P2P and grid systems performance analysis
Case studies and experiences in learning grid
Self-properties in collaborative learning systems
Distribution and replication of shared information
