CALL FOR PAPERS

The 2013 17th IEEE International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2013) June 27 – 29, 2013, Whistler, BC, Canada http://2013.cscwd.org/

Scope of Conference

Design of complex artifacts and systems requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary design teams. The 2013 17th IEEE International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2013) 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 2013 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. Collaboration technologies include theories, methods, mechanisms, protocols, software tools, platforms, and services that support collaboration and coordination among people, software and hardware systems. Related fields of research include collaborative workflows, collaborative virtual environments, collaborative workspaces, collaborative wireless sensor networks, interoperability, ontology and semantics, security and privacy, as well as social aspects and human factors related to collaboration. Application domains include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, logistics, transportation, power and energy, healthcare, infrastructure, administration, social networks, and entertainment.

Submission of Papers

Papers reporting original research results and experience are solicited. Each paper, written in English, is limited to 8 pages (IEEE proceedings format), including references and illustrations. Electronic submissions in PDF format are strongly recommended. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present the paper.
