CSCWD 2015 - 19th IEEE International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design

Design of complex artifacts and systems requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary design teams. The 2015 19th IEEE International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2015) 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 2015 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.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Collaboration theories and methodologies
Collaboration methods, mechanisms, and protocols
Collaboration platforms, software tools, and services
Collaborative computing (Clouds, Grids, and Web Services)
Collaborative processing of Big Data
Collaborative virtual environments
Collaborative wireless sensor networks
Collaborative workflows
Collaborative workspaces
Interoperability, ontology and semantics
Security and privacy in collaborative systems
Collaboration technology applications in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing
