6st International Workshop on Collaboration tools for Preservation of Environment and Cultural Heritage at
WETICE 2015
24th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises
Overview
Cultural heritage are increasingly exposed to degradation, in particular historical buildings and monuments made of stone materials or metal, glassware, etc, due to their location, are directly exposed to the environment factors.
Their preservation is a challenge involving many scientific areas, especially for the protection against environmental deterioration processes or natural hazards like earthquakes.
Nowadays, mobile and wireless communications become a commodity and recently we have assisted to the emerging of wireless systems, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and wireless opportunistic networks (WONs). These emerging communication paradigms open even more new opportunities for many interesting research topics targeting at concepts, methodologies and techniques to support advanced mobile value-added services. Clearly, the development environment of new algorithms, the kind of applications, architectures, and systems will have a significant impact for the successful deployment of alternative tools.
On this basis, monitoring of Cultural Heritage in different scenarios may be crucial to develop methodologies that are tailored to complex systems. The aim of COPECH workshop is to bring together practitioners, engineers, scientists and researchers to give an overview on the Preservation of Environment and Cultural Heritage and also providing ideas exchange among specialists to exploit communication platforms and collaborative paradigm.
The collaboration of specialists in Preservation of Environment and Cultural Heritage together ICT technicians will give the workshop an innovative profile, mixing different technologies and strategies of intervention as result from cultural and technological practices.

Submission Details
In line with other WETICE 2015 workshops COPECH intends to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the key issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications, and trends in this research area. We encourage submissions of full papers (6-10 pages) and position papers (2-6 pages) presenting novel ideas that may lead to insightful technical discussions at the workshop.
Papers should contain original contributions not published or submitted elsewhere, and references to related state-of-the-art work. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their views of the field at the oral presentation. Papers should follow the IEEE format, which is single spaced, two columns, 10 pt Times/Roman font. Papers should include a title, the name and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words and no more than eight keywords. Authors should also provide contact addresses, if different from the submitting electronic address.
All submissions should be electronic (in PDF) and will be peer-reviewed by at least three program committee members. Full papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Note that at least one author from each accepted paper should register to attend WETICE 2015 to get the paper published in the Post-conference Proceedings. Please submit your paper in PDF format by accessing the easy Chair Submission Site available at the link:
