The original version of this paper is available on https://www.scientific.net/EH.16.-1.pdf

The International Conference on Design, Materials and Metaheuristic Algorithms for Engineering (ICDMME 2024) paved the way to understanding the latest technological and innovative advancements in the fields of optimization, design and materials engineering. The conference developed solutions to physical problems, questions on how things work in optimization, design and materials engineering, and how to make them work better in new and different ways. ICDMME 2024 aimed to enhance understanding of the recent trends in design and materials engineering, including optimization and innovation, and to improve research culture among the academicians for exploring the knowledge base and maintaining dynamism in the teaching and learning process.

ICDMME 2024 was organized by the Research and Development Cell, Jai Shriram Engineering College, Tirupur, India, on April 24, 2024. During the meeting, the researchers, academicians, industry specialists and students presented their research findings and benefitted from acquaintance with the latest trends and developments in design, optimization and materials engineering. The conference was conducted in a hybrid mode so that participants could attend the conference platform offline or online via Google Meet. The authors were given 10 minutes for presentation followed by 5 minutes for queries and discussion.

The conference featured two keynotes and seven technical sessions. Prof. Ir. Dr. Yusri Bin Yusof, Professor, Department of Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), Malaysia, and Dr. R. Mohan, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, gave their keynote addresses to the participants and shared their insights with the audience without reservation.

We would like to acknowledge the efforts of all attendees, guests, authors, reviewers and conference committees for their invaluable contribution to this meeting and for bringing this publication to life.

With best Regards,
