Design of complex artifacts and systems requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary design teams. The 2026 29th International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2026) 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 2026 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, s ecurity 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 (Cloud/Edge Computing, Web services, Blockchains)
    Cyber-physical systems, Industry 4.0, digital twins, industrial metaverse
    Industrial Internet, IoT, sensor networks
    Large language model, industrial foundation models, AI agents
    Security and privacy in collaborative systems
    Collaboration technology applications
