It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 19th International Conference on Cooperative Design, Visualization and Engineering (www.cdve.org), which will be held from 25 to 28 September 2022 in Krakow, Poland.

Recently, many important technologies have emerged or reached a new stage of development, such as cloud computing, machine learning, blockchain, the Internet of Things, big data, and mobile computing. This new computing landscape opens a wider possibility to access social media, e-business, e-learning, e-finance, crowdsourcing, and many other online services. We are excited to see that the scale and popularity have reached a level that our human society has never experienced before.

The prestigious CDVE conferences have been and will still be a unique meeting point for experts, researchers, developers, and practitioners in cooperative design, visualization, engineering, and other cooperative application areas. The CDVE conferences provide an opportunity for researchers to publish their research results, get inspired by peer researchers, and develop their professional networks. Many past participants established pivotal cooperation relationships in their research during the conference. You are most welcome to join us!

Within the scope of the conference are all the application areas concerning multiple users, multiple locations, multiple units, and multiple sensors, including but not limited to the following:

Cooperative design (CD):

• Multiple users, multiple location collaborative design applications;
• Concurrent design, collaborative editing, real-time user interactions;
• Cooperative User Experience (UX) design.

Cooperative visualization (CV):

• System architecture, prototypes, user interfaces for CV: web applications, textual and multimedia 2D, 3D desktop interfaces, 3D virtual world environments, and multiple user embedded systems;
• Visualization for multiple users, multiple locations, concurrent visualization;
• Cooperative visual analytics and communication.

Cooperative engineering (CE):

• Collaborative process planning, scheduling, control, conformance testing and interoperability checking, cooperative decision making;
• Human–machine interfaces, frameworks, reference models, architectures, tools and systems for CE;
• Concurrent prototyping, manufacturing, and engineering;
• Concurrent process modeling, product modeling, reference models, business models, data representations, and standards.

Cooperative applications (CA):

• Human–computer interface for cooperative working;
• Cooperation between humans and autonomous systems;
• Social networks;
• Crowdsourcing;
• Collective intelligence;
• Cooperative learning.

Basic theories, methods, and technologies that support CDVE (BT):

• Modeling of group behavior;
• Distributed systems, grid systems, real-time systems, groupware;
• Cloud computing, edge computing for cooperative work;
• Fog computing for cooperative storage, cooperative working;
