> Short Description of the Field:
>
> Education is emerging as a very important application field of grid
> technologies. In this sense, the grid enables access to large amounts of
> heterogeneous software and hardware resources that can be employed for
> educational purposes. Besides, typical grid-based applications such as
> remote laboratories or 3D virtual environments can also be employed within
> an educational context. Grid technology can thus provide significant
> benefits for education at different levels: K-12, high school, university,
> skill training and learning for life. Furthermore, there is a growing
> interest in developing tools and applications in order to support
> collaboration between users within a grid context. Grid-based
> collaboratories are a good example of these applications.
>
> Interestingly, Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is one of
> the major research fields in technology-enabled education that has grown
> out of wider research into e-learning and collaborative computing. CSCL
> applications can thus also benefit from grid computing by leveraging
> current research efforts focusing on the use of the grid for education and

> collaboration.

>
> Scope:
>
> This workshop focuses on the use of grid technologies for education or/and
> collaboration in general and for collaborative learning in particular. For
> this reason, CLAG 2006 aims at bringing together educators and researchers
> in grid computing, e-learning, collaborative computing, and CSCL to
> present their latest work integrating these fields.
>
> We are soliciting high quality papers reporting original work on a broad
> range of topics, including, but not limited to:
>
> * Advanced learning environments based on grid technology
> * Grid-based virtual laboratories for e-learning
> * Use of existing grid-based applications within an educational
context
> * New learning scenarios supported by grid technologies
> * Experiences on the use of grid technologies to support learning
scenarios
> in K-12, high school, University, skill training and life learning
> * Grid-based collaborative applications
> * Grid middleware for collaboration
> * Service-oriented development of applications for e-learning or/and
collaboration
> * QoS in grid-based applications for e-learning or/and collaboration
> * Grid service orchestration for e-learning or/and collaboration
> * Semantic grid for e-learning or/and collaboration
> * Grid-based agents for e-learning or/and collaboration
> * P2P grids for e-learning or/and collaboration
> * Grid-based CSCL applications

> Paper Submissions:
>
> CLAG 2006 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. CLAG
> 2006 also encourages the submission of outstanding "work-in-progress"
> papers. Authors are invited to submit papers of not more than 8 pages of
> double column text using single spaced 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch
> pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines, see
> http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. Authors should submit a
> PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer.
> Electronic submission by email is strongly encouraged. Hard copies should
> be sent only if electronic submission is not possible. Submission implies
> the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the
> paper. Please email your papers to clag@ulises.tel.uva.es which is the
> preferred method for submission. Put "CLAG 2006 submission" in the subject
> of the email.
