The presentations from the workshop are now available. You can also watch the recorded sessions and read a short report on the workshop in the NeSC Newsletter. We hope to get a workshop report out as soon as possible.
Last Minute Information
I have set up a blog for the workshop. You will be forwarded to a secure site, please accept the security certificate presented.
You can use the comment function to comment on existing entries or, if you want to be able to post your own blogs, please drop me a line at alex.voss@ncess.ac.uk and I will invite you to the system.
Using the Blog should be fairly straightforward, I have discovered only one problem so far: you need to enter at least one tag, otherwise you will get an error message and lose the blog entry you just entered.

Call for Papers and Submission
Note that the submission and review process for the workshop is now completed.
We would like to invite both full papers of up to 10 pages and short papers of 4 pages, dealing with Virtual Research Environments or Collaborative Work Environments as well as the relationship between the two. You can find the revised Call for Papers here.
Submissions should be emailed as PDF files to Alex Voss before 5pm GMT on the 23rd of April 2007 (note the revised deadline). They should be formatted according to the style guidelines of the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.
All submissions will be reviewed by a programme committee drawn from internationally recognised researchers in the area of e-Research, Collaborative Work Environments, Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Workplace Studies. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give a presentation at the workshop and authors of accepted abstracts will have the opportunity to present a poster.
