Registration for this event has passed

ICoRD’23 is the ninth in a series of conferences intended to be held every two years in India to bring together the international community from diverse areas of design practice, education and research. It will be held during 9th to 11th January 2023 at the Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, India. It aims to showcase cutting edge research about design to the stakeholders; aid the ongoing process of developing and extending the collective vision through emerging research challenges and questions; and provide a platform for interaction, collaboration and development of the community in order for it to take up the challenges to realize the vision. The conference is intended for all stakeholders of design, and in particular for its practitioners, researchers, pupils and educators.

 

Theme of ICoRD’23

Industry 4.0 signifies the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was driven by the introduction of mechanical power such as steam and water engines to replace human and animal labour. The second industrial revolution involved introduction of electrical power and organised labour. The third industrial revolution was powered by introduction of industrial automation. The fourth industrial revolution involves introduction of a combination of technologies to enable connected intelligence and industrial autonomy. The introduction of Industry 4.0 dramatically changes the landscape of innovation, and the way design, the engine of innovation, is carried out. The theme of ICoRD’23 is ‘Design in the Era of Industry 4.0’ – which explores how Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies influence the way design is conducted, and how methods, tools and approaches for supporting design can take advantage of this transformational change that is sweeping across the world.

 

The conference will have:

  • Invited/keynote presentations from eminent international experts and practitioners
  • Presentations of refereed papers as podium, poster, panel or theme presentations
  • Presentations on perspectives from industry and studies in practice.
  • Presenting ICoNNN Awards and Keynotes
  • Doctoral Symposium
  • Networking Sessions for Young researchers
  • Workshop Sessions

 

The organizing committee invites submissions of research papers in all areas of design. This includes all dimensions, e.g., people, product, tools, processes, economies and environments of design, with research results contributing to its understanding and support. Some example topics are listed below:

  • Application of Design Knowledge in Practice (Automotive, Aerospace, Biomedical Devices, etc.)
  • Design Evaluation and Optimisation
  • Design Ideation, Creativity and Synthesis
  • Design Modelling, Prototyping, Simulation and Visualisation
  • Design of/for User Interfaces, User Experience, and Human-Computer Interaction
  • Design Theory and Research Methodology
  • Eco-Design, Sustainable Manufacturing, Design for Sustainability
  • Fablabs, Makerspaces and Design Spaces
  • Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship
  • Design Aesthetics, Semiotics, Semantics
  • Design for X (Safety, Manufacture, Assembly, Cost, Reliability, Social Interaction, etc.)
  • Design Management, Knowledge Management and Product Life Cycle Management
  • Design of Systems, Services and Product Service Systems
  • Design Teams, Collaboration, Communication
  • Design Training and Education
  • Enabling Technologies & Tools (Computer-Aided Conceptual Design, Augmented/Virtual Reality, MEMS, Haptics, Smart Technologies, IoT, Collaborative Robotics, etc.)
  • Human Factors in Design (Physical and Cognitive Ergonomics; Design for Emotions, etc.)
  • Lexicon, Taxonomy, Ontology, Machine Learning and Data-driven Design

 

The conference is an endorsed event of the Design Society and the Design Research Society, and its members receive a discount on the conference registrations fee.
