Computer-aided methods and tools were established in design engineering before digitalization and the Internet of Things were elevated to megatrends. New challenges arise from increased data volumes, which result from an increasingly detailed description of products and processes and which must be both processed and archived. We are looking for contributions that address the modeling, simulation, calculation, optimization and design of technical products or the modeling and design of networked, digitalized development processes, in particular:
The conference language is German. The short written contributions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee and published in a digital conference proceedings. Papers can be submitted via the conference homepage. Please use the template below.

The research idea or research concept (A) is based on an outline of no more than two pages. This outline should include a short summary for the Book of Abstracts, a problem statement explaining the significance of the research project, a targeted state of the art / science and a concrete solution approach. Research results (B) are also submitted as an abstract of max. two pages. This submission option is aimed specifically at doctoral students who are about to present their dissertation or who wish to present a completed research project. In the case of research results, only the abstracts for the Book of Abstracts are taken. If the paper is to be submitted to the journal Konstruktion after the KT colloquium, this should be noted when submitting the paper to the KT colloquium so that feedback can be as targeted as possible. In this case, a longer version can also be submitted in accordance with the "Konstruktion" guidelines.

What do the sessions look like?
Depending on the maturity of the contribution, different presentation durations are planned. Research ideas and concepts (A) will be presented to the audience in a 10-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute discussion. For research results (B), a presentation time of 30 minutes is set, followed by a 10-minute discussion. In addition, various networking formats such as world cafés or workshops for doctoral students are planned. The topics for the workshops can be found in the conference schedule. Workshop registration is via the registration form.
