AC 2013 - 4th International Workshop on Adaptive Collaboration (AC 2013)

Adaptation is a special property of human beings as highly intelligent creatures. It is also an emerging requirement for contemporary collaboration-related and computer-based applications, such as Service Computing (SC) systems, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) systems, Man-Machine (MM) systems, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) systems, Sensor Network (SN) systems, Social Networks (SN) and production systems. Adaptive Collaboration (AC) is to provide general methodologies and mechanisms to support adaptability of collaboration so as to improve the group performance of collaboration. Adaptive collaboration is significantly challenging. For instance, user/agent modelling, user/agent information acquisition, environment information acquisition, group structures, role/task models, user/agent evaluation, and dynamic role/task assignment must be addressed in order to facilitate adaptive collaboration.
The workshop will present techniques, methodologies, algorithms, system integrations, and architectures issues related to Adaptive Collaboration.
