Tenenbaum@SRI-KL (Marty Tenenbaum) (03/18/86)
ANNOUNCEMENT
Subject: Seminar on A.I. in Design and Manufacturing.
Time: Every Wednesday from 4-5:30 during Spring Quarter.
Location: Terman Engineering Center, room 556, Stanford.
For further information contact:
Jay M. Tenenbaum, Consulting Professor, Computer Science
(415) 496-4699 or Tenenbaum@SRI-KL.
Purpose: To explore and stimulate the use of A.I. concepts and tools in
engineering.
This seminar will bring together engineers and computer scientists
interested in applying A.I. methods to engineering problems. We will
study the knowledge and reasoning processes used in designing and
manufacturing electronic and mechanical systems, and how they can be
codified for use in intelligent CAD/CAM systems.
Seminar Format:
An initial series of lectures, by distinguished A.I. researchers,
will describe ways in which engineering knowledge can be formalized,
and manipulated by a computer to solve design and manufacturing
problems. Subsequent lectures, by guest lecturers and students, will
present case studies drawn from the domains of electronic and
mechanical design, semiconductor fabrication, and process planning.
Seminal papers will be distributed and discussed in conjunction
with each lecture.
One unit of credit (pass/fail) will be granted for reading papers and
participating in class discussion. Students who elect to do a
programming project or an in-depth ontological study of some
engineering task will receive three units (graded).
