CSCW 2017 - 2017 IEEE 21st International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design

Design of complex artifacts and systems requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary design teams. The 2017 IEEE 21st International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2017) 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 2017 includes the research and development 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 communication, coordination and collaboration among people, software and hardware systems. Related fields of research include human-computer interaction, business process management, collaborative virtual environments, enterprise modeling, security and privacy, as well as social aspects and human factors related to collaboration and design.
The major topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:
Collaboration theory, ontology and methodology
Design of collaboration (methods, processes, mechanisms, and protocols)
Collaboration across disciplines (design science, service science and data science)
Innovative collaborative approaches (crowdsourcing, social media)
Collaborative computing (clouds, grids, services, sensor networks)
Security and privacy in collaborative systems
Collaboration technology applications in the following areas:
Aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing
Education, design, architecture, and engineering
Intelligent buildings and smart homes
Energy, logistics, transportation, infrastructure and facility management
Healthcare and homecare
Business and administration
Culture, social media and entertainment
