The call for papers covers the following themes:

Topics

Track 1. Sustainable Design Innovation Driven by Digital Intelligence

• Focusing on the integration of mechanical engineering and design, this topic explores the convergence of green manufacturing technologies and eco-design concepts. It examines low-carbon product development across the full life cycle, strategies for resource recycling, and optimization of intelligent production systems.
• Human-Machine Collaboration & Service Design: In response to the trends of Industry 4.0 and intelligent service transformation, this topic investigates collaborative robots and digital twin factories. By integrating theories and methodologies of service design, it aims to propose innovative service systems that balance technological advancement and human-centered values.
• Digital Translation of Industrial Culture: Based on design semiotics and communication studies, this topic analyzes the aesthetic genes and cultural symbols within industrial equipment and traditional mechanical craftsmanship. It explores the digital translation of mechanical culture IPs, cross-media storytelling strategies, and mechanisms for constructing cultural identity in a global context.

Track 2. Green Transformation of Manufacturing Led by New Productive Forces

• Green Decision-Making Systems Driven by Industrial Big Data: The topic analyzes the application of big data, AIGC, and related technologies in brand communication, public opinion management, and precision marketing, exploring digital storytelling and communication pathways for industrial development.
• Innovation in Intelligent Mechanical Systems and Cultural Tourism Equipment: Focusing on the development of intelligent tourism vehicles adaptable to complex terrains (such as sightseeing passenger drones), wearable guide devices, and IoT-based scenic area safety management technologies.
• Smart Technology Empowering Rural Revitalization: The topic examines cases in intelligent agricultural machinery manufacturing, digital communication of local culture, and eco-tourism infrastructure design, exploring innovative paradigms for rural revitalization through technological and cultural integration.

Track 3. Ecological Upgrading of the Cultural Tourism Industry through Digital Empowerment

• Virtual Reality and Immersive Experience Design in Cultural Tourism: Developing VR/MR-based cultural tourism scenarios-such as historical event reenactments and intangible cultural heritage experiences-this topic studies multimodal perception integration, virtual-real spatial narrative logic, and quantitative evaluation of user cognitive load.
• Green Supply Chains and Resource Circularity in the Cultural Tourism Industry: Integrating mechanical engineering and management science, this topic builds green supply chain models for tourism equipment manufacturing and scenic operation. It investigates remanufacturing technologies for obsolete facilities, intelligent tracking systems for energy and materials, and the long-term impact of circular economy policies on regional cultural tourism ecosystems.
• Digital Innovation and Communication of Cultural Heritage: Focusing on the convergence of digital humanities and creative technologies, this topic explores digital storytelling and innovative expression of cultural heritage. It covers areas such as digital revitalization of intangible cultural heritage IPs, immersive experience design for traditional craftsmanship, reconstruction of cultural memory, and visualization of architectural heritage genes.
• Intelligent Equipment and Interaction Design in Cultural Tourism Scenarios: Aiming at the upgrading needs of the cultural tourism industry, this topic explores the development of interdisciplinary products-such as intelligent service robots, AR/VR immersive devices, and digital restoration equipment for cultural heritage-and studies optimization of human-machine interaction, translation of cultural symbols into hardware design, and user behavior data analytics.
