>'design', as well as speaking in grounded ways about the task of 
>design and the use of designed artifacts and processes. The 
>conference is a cross-disciplinary forum which brings together 
>researchers, teachers and practitioners to discuss the nature and

>theoretical and the empirical, research and application, market 
>pragmatics and social idealism.
>

>broad sweep to construct a transdisciplinary dialogue which 
>encompasses the perspectives and practices of: anthropology, 
>architecture, art, artificial intelligence, business, cognitive 
>science, communication studies, computer science, cultural studies, 
>design studies, education, e-learning, engineering, ergonomics, 
>fashion, graphic design, history, information systems, industrial 
>design, industrial engineering, instructional design, interior 
>design, interaction design, interface design, journalism, landscape 
>architecture, law, linguistics and semiotics, management, media and 
>entertainment, psychology, sociology, software engineering, 
>technical communication, telecommunications, urban planning and 
>visual design.
>
>As well as impressive line-up of international main speakers, the 
>Conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium 
>presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers. We would 
>particularly like to invite you to respond to the Conference 
>Call-for-Papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for
