distributed
collaborative information systems and draws on several
inter-disciplinary research activities. The conference has grown in
stature over the years and regularly draws a number of well known
researchers. This is the sixth Conference in the series and the fourth
conference organized by the International Foundation on Cooperative
Information Systems (IFCIS). The conference includes two keynote
addresses from well known researchers, two panels, one industrial
session, one tutorial, and 29 outstanding research papers. Edinburgh 
is
an exciting and vibrant city and you will be visiting it at the peak 
of
its festival season. It offers an outstanding range of museums, art
exhibits, concerts, and other tourist attraction and this all combined
with a lot of unique culture.
