Theme: Rigor and Relevance in Design
We invite you to submit high quality design research outcomes to the
IASDR 2009 conference which will be held on 18-22 October, 2009 in
Seoul, Korea. This is a large, international design research
conference with an intensive and high quality program. This venue will
bring together top design researchers and practitioners to build and
advance knowledge in the field of Design. We encourage your
enthusiastic participation for this exciting opportunity.
Design has been evolved into a unique but highly influencing
discipline in this rapidly changing society. But it has also struggled
to find its own rigor and relevance as a disciplined field as its own.
In this conference, we invite various perspectives and research
outcomes that may address the issues of establishing our own rigor and
relevance of design research and practice in the field of Design, as
well as discussions and research activities related to all the
important design subjects as follows:
1. Design Theory and Methodology
2. Design Philosophy, Ethics, Values, and Issues
3. Design Education
4. Design Management and Strategy
5. Sustainability, Culture, History, and Society in Design
6. Human Behaviors, Perception, and Emotion
7. Semantics, Aesthetics and Experience in Design
8. Interaction and Interface Design
9. Design Tools and New Media
10. Universal Design/Inclusive Design
11. Design Creativity
12. Design Project Cases
<Important Dates for Paper Submission>
Abstract deadline: February 28, 2009
Notification of abstract acceptance: March 31, 2009
Full paper deadline: June 1, 2009
Notification of full paper acceptance: August 1, 2009
Full paper submission deadline: September 1, 2009
There will be two categories for the paper submissions—one is an
oral-session full paper category, and the other is a poster-session
paper category. When you submit your abstract, you will be required to
indicate either one of these options, and the reviewers will review
the abstracts according to the selected option. However, if an
abstract was submitted to the full paper category and if the abstract
does not meet the criteria for the full paper quality, there is
possibility to be suggested for considering poster presentations when
that is judged to be the better option. The oral-session full paper
category will have stronger rigor in the reviewing criteria comparing
to the ones for the poster paper category.
For the abstract submission, please check our website for details.
In addition, we also posted call for participations for other submission
categories such as tutorials, special sessions, and doctoral colloquiums.
Please visit our website regularly for these updates.
We look forward to active participants from all of you, and hope to
see you in Seoul, South Korea in October, 2009!
