ICED 2015 - International Conference on Engineering Design 2015(ICED 2015)

The ICED 15 program committee will organise various topics that cover substantial, original
and previously unpublished research. The ICED 15 sessions are composed of plenary sessions,
podium sessions, discussion sessions and workshop sessions from both academia
and industry based on rigorous analysis or argumentation.
