Advancing an Industry/Academic Partnership Model for Open Collaboration Research.

We propose a full day workshop focused on characterizing areas of research within the domain of Open Collaboration Systems (OCS's) where partnerships between academic and industry researchers can both increase our scientific understanding of OCS's and also support those systems through research. This workshop's purpose is to bring together researchers on both sides of the "data divide" to identify current challenges and opportunities for future research within these research areas, and to develop a preliminary set of requirements for improved resource sharing and collaboration between OC enterprises and academic research institutions.
