Collaboration is aims to achieve common goals through human collective (>1) or human societal behaviours which have to involve human’s interactions, intentions, cultural backgrounds, etc. collaborative processes are a inherent part of daily life and work of human society.

Collaboration Technologies have been widely studied in various domains. With the progress in networking, computing, information and communication technologies, great opportunities have arisen for Collaboration Technologies and Systems.

ECTA’11 provides a premier forum for researchers and engineers alike to present state-of-the-art research and development progresses in all areas related to architecture, design, implementation, application and evaluation of Collaboration Technologies and Systems.
