This biennial conference series provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art and cutting-edge design research with a focus on artificial intelligence, cognitive science and computational theories in design. The conference proceedings will form a continuing archive of design computing and cognition research. The conference will be followed by a series of state-of-the-art half-day workshops on specialist topics in design computing and cognition.

A set of research papers that have been refereed by an international board of reviewers will be presented and published as a book. Posters describing ongoing research will be presented.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Agents in design
• Artificial intelligence in design
• Biologically-inspired design
• Collaborative design
• Collective design
• Cognitive theories applied to design
• Computational social science applied to design
• Computational theories applied to design
• Creative design
• Digital media in design
• Evolutionary approaches in design
• Games and design
• Human cognition in design
• Learning from human designers
• Machine learning in design
• Multi-modal design
• Situated computing in design
• Virtual environments in design
• Visual and spatial reasoning in design

Attendees are invited to participate in the conference in the following ways:

• Submit a full-length paper on completed research relating to design computing and cognition.
• Submit a poster describing ongoing research; there will be time for oral presentations of posters.
• Submit a proposal for a half-day workshop on a topic related to design computing and cognition.

Researchers from all fields employing computation and or cognition in design are invited to participate.
