The forthcoming DESIGN 2014 Conference will continue to be a great event founded on tradition and excellence. We live in a networked world communicating and exchanging ideas by emails, virtual meetings and social networks. Opportunity to meet colleagues face-to-face, to exchange and share new ideas in implausible discussions, to build a personal network in a direct contact is the invaluable opportunity of DESIGN conference.
We invite high-quality submissions for DESIGN 2014 covering substantial, original and previously unpublished research. Applied, theoretical and results-oriented papers from both academia and industry, based on thorough analysis or argumentation, will be considered for the conference programme. Submissions should fit into one of proposed conference topics: * DESIGN THEORY AND RESEARCH, * DESIGN ORANISATION AND MANAGEMENT, * DESIGN PROCESSES, * DESIGN METHODS, * DESIGN SUPPORT TOOLS, * DESIGN INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE, * HUMAN BEHAVIOUR AND DESIGN, * DESIGN INNOVATION, * ENGINEERING DESIGN PRACTICE, * SYSTEM ENGINEERING AND DESIGN, * SOCIOTECHNICAL ISSUES IN DESIGN, * INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
