CALL FOR PAPERS
FIRST EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP ON
INTELLIGENT CAD SYSTEMS
APRIL 22-24, 1987

ORGANIZED BY

AIM
Today, one of the main strengths in CAD research has become so-called
intellectualization of CAD systems, primarily, as an application of
knowledge engineering. This research may contain two aspects:
intellectualization of CAD systems by intelligence for helping
designers and intellectualization by problem solving ability. The
former approach may be achieved by developing intelligent user
interface concept, for instance, so that the designer can perform
his/her full ability, whereas the latter may be achieved by developing
systems, like expert systems, which can solve various engineering
problems.
However, it is obvious that either of these two approaches can alone
fulfill requirements to future CAD systems. It is necessary to
develop an integrated environment for intelligent CAD systems using
intelligent interactive techniques. Therefore, we pursue integration
of these two approaches in order to build intelligent CAD systems, and
we discuss issues such asL
- configuration of intelligent CAD systems,
- tools and techniques for developing those systems,
- methodology for developing.
We plan a series of three workshops beginning in 1987
- 1987: Theoretical and methodological aspects in developing
an intelligent CAD system.
- 1988: Architecture of an intelligent CAD system.
- 1989: Practical experiences and evaluation of an intelligent
CAD system.
SCOPE OF THE FIRST WORKSHOP IN 1987
1. Principle and configuration of intelligent CAD systems
2. Theory and methodology of development
3. Available tools for development, such as intelligent user
interace management systems and tools for problem solving
in design
4. Use and role of intelligent user interface systems in an
intelligent CAD environment
STYLE OF WORKSHOP
Approximately 10 invited papers and 10 refereed papers will be
presented. Participants will be limited roughly 50. In this workshop,
theoretical and methodological aspects are emphasized. The result of
this workshop will be published by Springer-Verlag.
SCHEDULE FOR THE WORKSHOP
December 1, 1986: Deadline for extended abstracts upto 1000 words
