*Workshop Theme:*
The recent advances in networking have determined an increasing use of
information technology to support distributed cooperative applications.
Several novel applications have emerged in this area, like computer
supported collaborative work (CSCW), large scale distributed virtual
world, collaborative recommender systems, collaborative learning systems.
The definition of these applications requires to afford several
challenges, like the definition of user interfaces, of coordination
protocols, and of proper middle-ware and architectures supporting
distributed cooperation. Collaborative applications may greatly benefits
also from the support of cloud and P2P  architectures. As a matter of
fact, with the emergence of readily available cloud platforms,
collaborative applications developers have the opportunity of deploying
their applications in the cloud, or by exploiting a hybrid P2P/Cloud
architectures with dynamically adapting cloud support. This brings
possibilities to smaller developers that were reserved for the big
companies until recently. The integration of mobile/Cloud platforms for
Collaborative Applications is another challenge for the widespread of
these applications. This track  aims  to provide a venue for researchers
to present and discuss important aspects of P2P/Cloud collaborative
applications and of the platforms supporting these applications. The
track's aim is to investigate open challenges for such applications,
related to both the applications design and to the definition of proper
architectures. Some important challenges are,for instance, collaborative
protocols design, latency reduction/hiding techniques for guaranteeing
real time constraints, large-scale processing of user information,
privacy and security issues, state consistency/persistence.
The track will both present assessment of current state and introduce
further directions.

  * Large Scale Distributed Virtual Environments
  * Distributed Computer Supported Collaborative Work
  * Distributed Recommender Systems
  * Distributed Collaborative Learning
  * Distributed Collaborative Games
  * Exploiting Cloud Elasticity for Collaborative Applications
  * P2P Overlays for Collaborative Applications
  * Hybrid P2P/Cloud Architectures
  * Consistency/Persistence Issues
  * Massive-scale State and User Data Processing
  * Security and Privacy
  * Integration of Mobile/Cloud Platforms for Collaborative Applications
  * Multi-platform Collaborative Applications Support (phones, tablets,
    laptop,...)

We invite original papers previously unpublished.Full papers should not
exceed12 pagesand follow the
Springer LNCS Style. We solicit the submission of  papers representing
original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be
carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical
soundness and clarity of exposition. Papers should be prepared as the
.pdf files and submitted electronically to the LSDVE 2014 online
submission system
<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=europar2014ws>. Submission
of the paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of
the authors must register and present the paper at the workshop. Alla
accepted and presented papers will be included in the Workshop
proceedings that will be published in a separate LNCS Europ-par 2014
Workshop volume.**A selection of the papers submitted at the workshop
will be included in Special Issue of Springer Journal Peer-to-Peer
Networking and Applications (PPNA).**
