The 2023 International Symposium on Design Studies and Intelligence Engineering (DSIE-2023) was held in Hangzhou, China on 28 & 29 October 2023, providing a platform for professionals and researchers from industry and academia to present and discuss recent advances in the field of design studies and intelligence engineering.

The technology applied in design studies varies from basic theory to more application-based systems, whereas intelligence engineering also plays a significant role in design science, such as computer-aided industrial design, human factor design, and greenhouse design. Intelligence-engineering technologies also include topics from both theoretical and application perspectives, such as computational technologies, sensing technologies, and video detection. The conference aims to promote cooperation between industries and universities in these fields. Renowned professors from around the world were invited to speak on these topics in greater depth and to discuss in-depth research directions with the presenters.

We received 275 online submissions from researchers. All papers were reviewed by three or four independent experts. Based on the reviewer’s comments, 105 papers were accepted for publication in this book. We believe that this conference will foster cooperation among the organizations and researchers involved in these merging fields.

DSIE 2023 was sponsored by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University and co-sponsored by the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society-Industrial Design, Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, Techno India College of Technology, the Chinese Academy of Art, Xiamen University of Technology, and Tanta University.

We would like to thank all contributors for their efforts in submitting their manuscripts on time and we express our gratitude to the reviewers for their contribution. Thanks are also due to Mr. Maarten Fröhlich of IOS Press for accepting this volume for publication, and to his colleagues for their work during the typesetting stage of the volume.
