We are pleased to invite you to prepare and submit papers to the 20th International Conference on Engineering Design, ICED15! Click here to download the flyer. The iced15 conference will be held in Milan at the same time as Expo 2015, which gives a unique opportunity to participants of both events. The theme of EXPO 2015 "Nutrition of the planet, energy for life" was inspired by the motto of ICED15: "Design for Life", which indicates the role and responsibility of designers in improving human existence. "Design for a healthy lifestyle", "design for a sustainable life" and "design for a contented life" are three areas in which design can have a particularly strong impact, and therefore they were chosen as iced15 topics. The conference program will include applied, theoretical and result-oriented work in both academic and industrial environments. Substantial and original works based on careful analysis and argumentation will be considered for inclusion. We will be particularly pleased to receive documents aimed at stimulating discussions, for which special sessions will be prepared. The work should correspond to the topics outlined below, and, if necessary, the authors can assign it to one of the iced15 topics in order to improve its visibility in connection with Expo 2015. It is expected that all notifications will be complete, not exceeding 10 pages, in accordance with the guidelines and templates provided on the iced 15 website. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by three reviewers in a double-blind process. All accepted papers will be published both electronically and in paper form. Articles with Iced will be submitted for indexing by leading institutes (ISI web of science, Scopus, Google Scholar). Documents must be submitted using the iced15 conference management system. 

Each submitted article will be reviewed by three reviewers in a double-blind process. The evaluation criteria will be the novelty and level of the contribution, the validity of the proposals, the industrial or applied perspective and the formal characteristics of the contribution.The reviewed and accepted full texts of the reports will be published in the conference materials, provided that the final reports are received in due time and comply with the project recommendations. The conference materials will be made available to participants on the conference website and will be available after the conference at the ISBN number. Iced conference materials have been included in the Thompson Reuters conference materials citation index since 2002. The conference materials citation index, available through the web of science, helps researchers access published literature from major conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, seminars and conventions around the world. This resource offers a full understanding of conference materials and their impact on global research, allowing you to use the search for cited links to track emerging ideas and new research that goes beyond what is described in the journal literature.Outstanding conference papers will be recommended for publication in selected journals.

Articles will be accepted on the basis of a double-blind review by members of the scientific advisory committee. Review criteria will be new and the level of input, relevance of proposals, industrial or… To read more click on the title.
