They were ignored until Dr. O'Connor started taking his concerns to a bigger audience. After that, Dr. O'Connor faced a lot of vitriole, and had complaints lodged against him by his colleagues working at Health Canada. Thanks to Dr. O'Connor's efforts, the government of Alberta finally undertook a study of cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan, finding that what Dr. O'Connor said was true - there was a higher incidence of cancer than expected. Since then, Dr. O'Connor was cleared by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta when they dismissed the complaints against him. But even after all that, the only action that has been promised to the people of Fort Chipewyan is further research into the cancer rates. |

A recent article by Don Norman brings up some valuable and provocative questions about the value of design research. I read it as an extension of his previous shift in thinking about the value of usability analysis, where he concluded that it was vital for good to design, but it didn't lead to great design. In this new article he argues that design research has not led to breakthrough innovations or products, but is better suited for improving existing products and technologies. |

Sustainability is the only way forward for industry that does not lead to an environmental dead-end. Waste recycling has its place, but researchers in France suggest that from the outset the design of a product should consider the whole life cycle to offer any chance of sustainability. Writing in the International Journal of Design Engineering, the team explains how this approach might best be adopted by industrial and other designers. |

The 3rd International Conference on Advanced Design and Manufacturing (ADM2010) will take place in Nottingham, UK, 8th -10th September 2010. ADM2010 will follow the success of its previous 1st and 2nd conferences held in 2006 and 2009.
As prestigious conferences, the ADM2009 conference proceedings were published as volumes 419-420 of the refereed journal ‘Key Engineering Materials’ (http://www.scientific.net/KEM.419-420) which have been indexed by SCOPUS, EI Compendex and other major abstract media; the ADM2006 attracted about 600 abstracts, and about 190 high quality papers were finally selected for presentation at the conference, of which about 35 percent were chosen for post-conference publication in EI/SCI indexed and refereed international journals including International Journal of Production Research (Taylor & Francis), International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management (Inderscience), Lecture Notes of Computer Science (Springer), Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering (English edition) and International Journal of Design Engineering (Inderscience). |
