ServDes 2016 (May 2016, Copenhagen)

Dates: 24-26 May 2016
Location: Aalborg University-Copenhagen
Website: http://www.servdes.org/
Deadline for submissions: 29 September 2015

ServDes, the Service Design and Innovation conference, is the premier research conference for exchanging knowledge within Service Design and service innovation studies. Born as a yearly Nordic conference, ServDes has now become a bi-annual international event with the aim of bringing researchers and practitioners together to discuss, share and evolve the emerging discipline of Service Design, and design-related service innovation.

I feel a change coming on…

I’m looking for input from you.

This is one of 4 blogs I keep.  It’s getting a bit challenging having 4 separate blogs.  So I’m thinking of merging this one with my other blogs.  There will be a separate stream for design CFPs, and there will be separate RSS feed too, so subscribers can just get the CFPs and not worry about the other stuff.

FYI, the new blog would be on Blogger (a Google product), not WordPress.

The one downside is that anyone currently enabled as an author will have to ask me again to be enabled as an author on the new blog.

I can probably merge the blog in a couple of days, so there wouldn’t be a significant interruption in service.

Does anyone have any serious reservations or concerns about this?

AIS/Design: Storia e Ricerche #7 (Dec 2015)

Theme: Design at work: the history of design between the profession and industry
Editors: Fiorella Bulegato and Dario Scodeller
Contact: editors@aisdesign.org
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 8 June 2015

“AIS/Design. Storia e ricerche” is the peer-reviewed online journal of the Italian Association of Design Historians, dedicated to the advancement of research into every aspect of design history and to the publication of higher scientific research.
Issue number 7, coordinated by Fiorella Bulegato and Dario Scodeller, is dedicated to the work of designers in the many different forms in which it has been expressed and developed since the 1930s, in the fields of product, visual and exhibition design. The intent is to examine, taking a point of view from within the profession, the relationship between design autonomy, and the constraints or opportunities represented by the context of organization, production and distribution – intrinsic to manufacturing companies and institutions – within which the designer must operate.

In the early design stages of design processes system architecture defines the interaction between product, process and company organization as well as the integration across different domains of design such as mechanical, electrical, software engineering.
