Topics NOT on call for papers - why your paper was rejected

• Only design, visualization, engineering and applications themselves NOT cooperative
We emphasize the cooperative aspect of the applications, not themselves.
• Basic therories, methods and applications with no direct relationship with cooperative design, visualization and engineering, nor any cooperative aspects
