The prosperity of 5G and IoT brings revolutionary changes to our daily lives and generates an enormous volume of social data as well. These heterogeneous data are generated by a diversity of sources, such as mobile devices, sensors, vehicles, buildings, and human beings. How to handle these data has become an important issue. Just like a treasure waiting to be extracted, properly acquiring, storing, publishing, integrating and analyzing these data can help the recommended systems, privacy protection and intelligent traffic systems. The theme of this year’s conference is “Intelligently Collaborative Computing for the Better World”. New technologies, particularly non-contact communicationd, networking and worksharing technologies are encouraged to be investigated and disseminated in the academic and industry sectors.

The 18th International Conference on Collaborative Computing (CollaborateCom 2022) will be held in Hangzou, China, and will continue to serve as a premier international forum for discussion among academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and students interested in collaborative networking, technology and systems, and applications.
