International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD) 2014

Design of complex artifacts and systems requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary design teams. The 2014 IEEE 18th International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2014) provides a forum for researchers and practitioners involved in different but related domains to confront research results and discuss key problems. The scope of CSCWD 2014 includes the research and development fields of collaboration technologies and their applications to the design of processes, products, systems, and services in industries and societies. The major topics include, but not limited to:

Collaboration theories and methodologies
Collaboration methods, mechanisms, and protocols
Collaboration platforms, software tools, and services
Collaborative computing (Clouds, Grids, Web Services)
Collaborative workflows
Collaborative virtual environments
Collaborative workspaces
Collaborative wireless sensor networks
Interoperability, ontology and semantics
Security and privacy in collaborative systems
