Nowadays the globalization in design engineering and science field has been rapidly progressing under the background of the evolution of the computer and information technology. The systematization and reorganization of the academic field are advanced in many nations in the world.
The Japan Society for Design Engineering (JSDE) was established as the Japan Society for Mechanical Design and Drafting in 1966 and has continued to contribute to the development of the design engineering especially in mechanical engineering field through the annual conferences and publishing the journals. Many researchers, engineers and educators in the world met at ICDES2005 in Vienna, Austria, ICDES2010 in Tokyo, Japan, ICDES2014 in Pilsen, Czech Republic and ICDES2017 in Aachen, Germany, and discussed on many issues on design engineering and science.
Then the fifth conference will be held on November 4–5, 2020. The conference will also promote strong interactions between academic and industry in all the aspects of design engineering and science, including human resource development and education.
The theme of ICDES2020 is then set as
New Decade of Design Engineering and Science
