This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering, CDVE 2010, held in Calvia, Mallorca, Spain, in September 2010. The 44 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address all aspects of distributed computing, and were organized in topical sections on cooperative applications, cooperative design, cooperative visualization, and cooperative engineering. Many papers in this volume reflect, in some degree, the active, rapid economic development in certain geographic areas in the world such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Eastern Europe which demand the cooperative work, particularly cooperative engineering more than ever. New concepts and new ideas of cooperative design, visualization and engineering have emerged to meet the higher demand in economic development in these areas. Another trend among the papers in this volume is to apply existing concepts and methods to new application areas.
