IDETC/CIE 2015 CHAIRS’ WELCOME IDETC/CIE








We are pleased to welcome everyone to the 2015 ASME International Design and international committees, symposium organizers,
Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in authors, and reviewers. We would like to warmly thank all
Engineering (IDETC/CIE) Conference in Boston, MA, USA, August 2-5, 2015. of these members of our community for making IDETC/
This fl agship international meeting, for the ASME Design Engineering Division CIE 2015 and AM3D a landmark in terms of submitted

This year, IDETC/CIE 2015 will co-locate with the new 2015 ASME Additive
Manufacturing + 3D Printing (AM3D) Conference to highlight emergent
technologies that impact the critical engineering issues of product design and Tamas Kalmar-Nagy
development, manufacturing, and the management and integration of informa-
tion systems throughout the product life-cycle. Program Chair
Presentations of papers across a very wide range of sessions are complement- Budapest University of Technology and
ed by inspiring plenary and keynote lectures, lively panel discussions, and Economics
informational tutorials and workshops encompassing a rich spectrum of
cutting-edge topics related to engineering design and manufacturing, theoreti-
cal and experimental paradigms for nano- to macro-scale applications, as well
as the use of computers in engineering. IDETC/CIE 2015 and AM3D will
hopefully serve not only as a unique forum for the sharing of recent research
results and industrial fi ndings, but also as a superb forum for networking within
and between academia, government, funding bodies and industry.

Of the 1,336 draft papers originally submitted to the conference, 1,091 have
been included in the fi nal technical program.
A successful technical program depends on several dedicated conference
chairs, program chairs, technical committee chairs, and members of advisory
