The major topics include, but are not limited to:

*     Techniques, methods, and tools for CSCW in design

*     Knowledge intensive cooperative design

*     User modeling for cooperative design

*     Agents and multi-agent systems for cooperative design

*     Workflows for cooperative design

*     Virtual Reality technologies for cooperative design

*     Grids, Web services, Semantic Web for cooperative design

*     Mobile collaboration and applications

*     Collaborative wireless sensor networks and applications

*     Collaborative networks and applications

*     Collaboration in manufacturing, services, and businesses

*     Distance learning/training related to design

*     Practice and experience with collaborative systems

*     Other areas related to CSCW in design



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.
