SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Innovation is universally recognized as a strategic leverage for growth
and jobs in a competitive global market. Researchers have taken up the
challenge of working on the development of innovation concepts, models,
methodologies, tools as well as computer-supported innovation. Among the
most recent innovation models, open innovation is gaining ground and
indicating some promising results. Open innovation is defined as a
paradigm that assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well
as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market. The
definition reflects the global trends towards social collaboration and
networks. Active subjects of the innovation process are final users,
research centers, partners or even competing companies living outside the
enterprise boundaries, hence defining a distributed network of entities
collaborating towards the goal of producing innovation. In this scenario,
technological, organizational and social aspects contribute to identifying
socio-technical environments fostering creativity, ideas exchange,
knowledge creation, product evolution, and ultimately successful
innovations.

The objective of this multidisciplinary Special Session is to bring
together researchers and practitioners to discuss what is the relationship
between collaboration and innovation; how collaboration technologies will
impact innovation practices; methodological, technical and organizational
aspects of open innovation.  Researches and practitioners are invited to
propose recent advances in methodologies, models and tools for supporting
innovation, and to discuss experiences of successful or unsuccessful open
innovation projects.

We are also inviting papers on the Next Generation Internet frameworks and
projects including Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) and
other ultrafast high gigabit networks which hold significant potential in
supporting adoption of agile engineering and other collaborations.
Researchers involved in various Next Generation Internet initiatives are
also encouraged to submit papers of their current work with application
potential to manufacturing, engineering and other domains.

After the conference, we plan to invite a selected number of authors to
submit an extended paper which will be reviewed for publication in one of
the leading journals.

Special Session Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to:
       Open Innovation
       Virtual Innovating Enterprises
       Collaborative methodologies and tools supporting innovation
       Cyber Technologies for Innovative Collaborative Partnerships
       Cyber Collaboration for Innovative Engineering Practices
       Next Generation Internet frameworks (GENI related and other ultrafast
high gigabit networks)
       Collaborative idea generation
       Collaborative creativity
       Ethnography in the context of innovation
       Social creative gaming
       Social networks and social network analysis in innovation
       Crowdsourcing approaches
       Communities of Practice
       Collaborative knowledge creation and management
       Knowledge elicitation
       Social innovation
       Computer supported creativity
       Group creativity
       Organizational memories for managing innovation
       Innovation management and governance in open contexts

Instructions for Authors:
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above
and other topics related to collaboration aspects of innovation.
Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted
elsewhere.  Submission should include a cover page with authors' names,
affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses.
Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6
keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400
words.  The full manuscript should be at most 8 pages using the two-column
IEEE format.  Additional pages will be charged at additional fee. Short
papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and poster (please refer to
http://cts2013.cisedu.info/home/posters  for the posters submission
details)  will also be accepted for submission.  In case of multiple
authors, an indication of which author is responsible for correspondence
must be indicated.  Please include page numbers on all preliminary
submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.

Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via email to the Special Session
organizers at j.ce... at okstate.edu, c.diamant... at univpm.it and
d.pot... at univpm.it.

Only PDF files will be accepted, sent by email to the Special Session
organizers.  Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews.  Papers
will be selected based on their originality, relevance, contributions,
technical clarity and presentation.  Submission implies the willingness of
at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if
accepted.  Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers
will be registered and presented at the conference.

Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings.
Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted
on the CTS 2013 web site.  It is our intent to have the proceedings
formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of
the conference.  The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE
Digital Library and indexed by major indexing services accordingly.

If you have any questions about paper submission or the Special Session,
please contact the Special Session organizers.
