Special Issue "Advance of Cooperative Working in Design, Visualization and Engineering"

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, artificial intelligence, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), metaverse, blockchain, cloud computing and cyber security have become hot topics, shaping the computing landscape.

This new computing landscape opens a wider possibility to access to social media, e-business, e-learning, e-finance, crowdsourcing, and many other cooperative technology-supported services. We are excited to see that the scale and popularity have reached a level that our human society has never experienced before. This Special Issue aims to gather original, state-of-the-art research and development contributions from all types of cooperative working applications, with the focus on cooperative design, cooperative visualization, and cooperative engineering.

New papers, or extended versions of papers, presented at the 20th International Conference on Cooperative Design, Visualization and Engineering (CDVE2023)(https://www.cdve.org/) are welcome. Submissions must not be currently under review for publication elsewhere. Conference papers may be submitted only if they are substantially extended (more than 50%), and must be referenced. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed using the normal standards of the Electronics journal, and accepted based on their quality, originality, novelty, and relevance to the theme of the Special Issue.
