-------------------------- Call for Papers --------------------------
2017 IEEE 21st International Conference on Computer Supported 
Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2017)

April 26-28, 2017, Wellington, New Zealand
http://2017.cscwd.org/

Scope of Conference
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

Submission of Papers
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.
Submission Web Site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cscwd2017

Publication
All submitted papers will be reviewed by program committee members and 
selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and 
clarity of presentation. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE 
categorized conference proceedings and will be submitted for indexing to 
EI (Compendex), DBLP and other indexing services. Authors of selected 
papers will be invited to submit revised and expanded version of their 
papers to be considered for publication in special issues of well-known 
international journals.
