The February issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications has a short
blurb on Dixon and Simmons' expert system for mechanical engineering design.
Following the blurb, on p. 61, is the notice
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications is planning an issue
featuring articles on expert systems in computer graphics
applications in early 1985. Those interested in contributing
should contact Carl Machover, Machover Associates, Inc., 199
Main St., White Plains, NY 10601; (914) 949-3777.
The issue also contains an article on "Improved Visual Design for Graphics
Display" by Reilly and Roach. The authors mention the possibility of
developing an expert consulting system for visual design that could be
used to help programmers format displays. (I think automated layout
for the graphics industry would be even more useful, and an excellent
topic for expert systems research.) They cite
J. Roach, J.A. Pittman, S.S. Reilly, and J. Savarse, "A Visual
Design Consultant," Int'l Conf. Cybernetics and Society, Seattle,
Wash., Oct. 1982.
as a preliminary exploration of this idea.
