6th International Conference on Research into Design (ICoRD '17)
Design for communities
9-11 January 2017, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India.
Design is ubiquitous; it pervades all spheres of life, and has been around
as long as life has taken up the task of purposefully changing the world
around it. Research into design and the emergence of a research community
in this area has been relatively new. Its development has been influenced
by the multiple facets of design (human, artefact, process, organisation,
the micro- and macro economy and the ecology by which design is shaped)
and the associated diversification of the community depending on the
facets of focus or that of their applications. Design is complex,
balancing the needs of multiple stakeholders, and requiring a multitude of
areas of knowledge to be utilised, and resources spread across space and
time.
ICoRD '17 is the sixth 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 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.
The theme of ICoRD '17 is Design for communities. While Design
traditionally focused on the development of products for the individual,
the emerging consensus on working towards a more sustainable world demands
greater attention to designing for and with communities, so as to promote
their sustenance and harmony - within each community and across
communities. ICoRD'17 is hosted at the foothills of the Himalayas in the
North-East of India, which is home to myriad linguistic and cultural
communities with their own traditions, heritage and aspiration. It is only
appropriate that the theme for ICoRD '17 aligns with this ambiance.
The conference will have:
Invited/keynote presentations from eminent international experts and
practitioners;
Presentations of refereed papers as podium, poster, panel or theme
presentations;
Industrial sessions to present perspectives from industry and studies in
practice.
Presentation of ICoNNN Awards and Keynotes
Doctoral Symposium
Networking Sessions for Young researchers
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:
Design Theory and Research Methodology
Human factors in Design
Design for X (Safety, Manufacture & Assembly, Cost , Reliability etc.)
Enabling Technologies & Tools (Computer Aided Conceptual Design, Virtual
Reality, Haptics, etc)
Design Management, Knowledge Management and Product Life Cycle
Management, Design Analytics
Applications in Practice (Automotive, Aerospace, Biomedical Devices,
MEMS, etc.)
Eco-Design, Sustainable Manufacturing, Design for Sustainability
Design Creativity, Synthesis, Evaluation and Optimisation
Design Lexicon, Taxonomy, Ontology
Design Collaboration and Communication
Design Aesthetics, Semiotics, Semantics
Design Training and Education
Prospective authors should send an abstract of their paper (500 words)
including paper title and author details, by uploading the abstract on the
conference management tool latest by 15 February 2016, through the ICoRD
'17 website: http://www.iitg.ac.in/icord17.
All abstracts will be checked for their novelty and relevance for ICoRD
'17; all papers relevant to the conference with novel content will be
