Scope and Topics
-------------------------
Design of complex artifacts and systems requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary design teams. The 2018 IEEE 22nd International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2018) 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 2018 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 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, services, sensor networks, blockchains)
- Security and privacy in collaborative systems
- Collaboration technology applications

-----------------------
Paper Submission
-----------------------
Papers reporting original research results and experience are solicited. Each paper, written in English, is limited to 6 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.
