The JCM 2016 originates as the 8th Joint Conference of ADM (Associazione Nazionale Disegno e Metodi dell’Ingegneria Industriale) INGEGRAF (Asociación Española de Ingeniería Gráfica) and AIP - PRIMECA (Ateliers Inter-établissements de Productique - Pôles de Ressources Informatiques pour la MECAnique). It invites all researchers, industry experts in the domain of "Interactive and Integrated Design and Manufacturing for Innovation" to disseminate their major and recent results, studies, implementations, tools and techniques at an international level.

The conference will take place in Catania, an Italian city on the east coast of Sicily facing the Ionian Sea, between Messina and Syracuse. Catania has had a long and eventful history, having been founded in the 8th century BC. In 1434, it witnessed the opening of the first university in Sicily.

The conference will be focused on the latest advances in Design Methods and Tools in Industrial Engineering and Architecture/Civil Engineering, with regard to:

• Innovative Design Methods
• Geometric Modelling and Industrial Design
• Virtual Reality and Interactive Design
• Integrated Product and Process Design
• Knowledge and Product Data Management
• Innovation in Architecture and Building Information Modelling
• Engineering methods in human-related applications

All the accepted papers have been published on Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering a book edited by Springer, indexed in SCOPUS.
