Welcome to NC-MDAO 2019!

The conference jointly organized by M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (MSRUAS), Design division of the Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI), Mechanical Engineering department of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru and Engineering Design department of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM), aims to bring together researchers and industry professionals working in the areas of multidisciplinary design, analysis, and optimization. Established techniques and emerging technologies are equally emphasized to take advantage of the past accomplishments and step up the future of, optimization-based design and model-based systems. The focus is on design and analysis as applicable to optimization of systems. Optimization in aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, biomedical and other application domains are within the scope of this conference.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Size, shape and topology optimization
  • Design of Experiments
  • Design Sensitivity Analysis
  • Meta-modeling or surrogate modeling
  • Systems design and optimization
  • Model-based systems design and optimization
  • Machine learning in optimization
  • Inverse problems
  • Uncertainty Quantification, reliability and robustness in design
  • Evolutionary Methods and Algorithms
  • Composite Material Optimization
  • Optimization application in emerging areas
  • System identification
  • MDAO applications in but not limited to:
    • Aerospace industry
    • Automotive industry (including autonomous vehicles)
    • Manufacturing industry
    • Biomedical industry
