Design Science stands as a foundation for breakthrough ideas, transformative experiences, novel solutions, and the practical application of structured knowledge. This interdisciplinary field synthesizes principles from mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, bioengineering, and several other disciplines to pioneer scientific approaches in system and process design. Its role is pivotal in nurturing cross-disciplinary cooperation and propelling forward-thinking innovations in product design, thereby elevating quality of life.

 

The International Conference on Design Science (ICDS 2024) is set to convene at the State Key Laboratory of Mechanical System and Vibration, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. This gathering is supported by the SJTU-GEC Academy Center for Innovative Design for Interdisciplinary Studies, the Shanghai Society for Modern Design Theory and Methodology Research, and the Xie Youbai Design Science Research Foundation.

 

Building on the foundational achievements of the 2023 conference, ICDS 2024 will continue to explore cutting-edge advancements in design science, particularly with the integration of transformative technologies such as big data, digital twins, and artificial intelligence.

 

The 2024 agenda will underscore the critical role of design models and methodologies amidst burgeoning technological applications. The conference is designed as a premier venue for scholars, innovators, and industry leaders to showcase their most recent discoveries, deliberate on groundbreaking solutions, and uncover synergies for collaborative ventures. Topics slated for discussion include:

• Agile Design

• Fuzzy Logic in Design

• Data-centric Design Approaches

• Enhancements in Design through Digital Twins

• Pedagogies in Design Education

• Principles of Engineering Design

• Biomimicry in Design

• Leveraging AI in Design Processes

We warmly invite your participation at ICDS 2024, where diverse viewpoints and expertise will merge to forge the future trajectory of design science. Your engagement will significantly enrich the conference, fostering an atmosphere ripe for the exchange of ideas and cooperative exploration.
