Track Description

This track solicits original research and industrial experience papers on the design, deployment, and evaluation of collaborative technologies across diverse industrial sectors. The objective is to highlight tangible applications, operational challenges, and emerging paradigms shaping enterprise collaboration at scale.

Contributions are expected to bridge theory and practice, demonstrating how enabling technologies support real-world industrial processes, optimize workflows, and foster innovation within complex enterprise ecosystems.

Submissions may address the full lifecycle of collaborative solutions, including conceptual models, system architectures, integration frameworks, performance evaluations, empirical studies, and industrial case studies. Papers without a clear application to collaborative systems are considered out of scope.
