Calling all professionals and academics in the fields of computational design, artificial creativity, computer graphics, and interactive techniques, computer-supported collaborative design, urban computing, architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, hardware, software, visualization, games, visual effects, virtual and extended realities, and high-performance computing.

We invite you to submit your best works and innovations at the DC I/O Conference on computational design & algorithmic methodologies applied to design. We welcome papers, posters and presentation submissions and look forward to seeing you online in and face-to-face.

Conference Sessions

The DC I/O conference is organized into four sessions. At the core of the conference is the theme of Algorithms. This is further studied from a contextual perspective as activities generating Cultures of design and, from the natural sciences perspective, as the activities encoding Cognitions of computational design. The Applications session presents an opportunity to explore new processes and managerial models in industrial case studies.

Research Topics

DC I/O aims to create a taxonomy and ontology on all computational design. Some of the topics of the conference are listed below. We are constantly updating the conference DC I/O topics on the DCWIKI. We accept peer-reviewed submissions on the following topics.
