Call For Papers SECOND EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP ON INTELLIGENT CAD SYSTEMS -Implementational Issues- APRIL 12-15, 1988, THE NETHERLANDS Organized by CENTRE FOR MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE (CWI), AMSTERDAM Sponsored by EUROGRAPHICS AIM AND SCOPE This is the second workshop of a series of three Eurographics workshops on Intelligent CAD Systems which have the following main topics; - 1st, 1987: Theoretical and methodological aspects. - 2nd, 1988: Implementational issues. - 3rd, 1989: Practical experiences and evaluation. Since applying knowledge engineering to CAD systems seems very promising to solve the problems of conventional CAD systems, it has drawn attention from not only CAD researchers but also AI researchers. The first workshop which was held on April 21-24, 1987, in the Netherlands, aimed at discussing the results and problems in this highly interesting field. We have realized that ad hoc approaches will eventually result in increased complexity of CAD applications and that we need a robust theoretical basis for development. This second workshop in 1988 is planned to discuss implementational issues and to clarify problems associated with developing intelligent CAD systems based on those theoretical and methodological considerations. The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to; 1) Role of theories to implement intelligent CAD systems. 2) Implementations of theories for intelligent CAD systems. 3) Architecture of intelligent CAD systems. 4) Techniques and tools to implement intelligent CAD systems. 5) Acquisition and maintenance of design knowledge. 6) Innovative and large-scale implementations of intelligent CAD systems. 7) Problems and future tasks in implementations of intelligent CAD systems. We are especially interested in reports telling how theoretical work influenced implementations. SCHEDULE FOR THE SECOND WORKSHOP November 1, 1987: Deadline for extended abstracts and position papers. December 1987: Notification of acceptance for presentation. February 1988: Acceptance of participation. April 12-15, 1988: Workshop (Full papers are submitted just before the workshop). May 1988: Deadline for final manuscripts for publication. SERIES SCHEDULE Approximately 15 reviewed papers will be presented in this second workshop. Participants will be limited to about 50 based on invitation. Intended authors and participants are invited to submit extended abstracts or position papers. The results of this series of three workshops will be published by Springer-Verlag as Eurographics Seminar Books. The report on the first workshop held in April 1987, "Intelligent CAD Systems 1: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects," will be published in August 1987. This series of workshop is being organized under cooperation with IFIP Working Group 5.2 Workshops on Intelligent CAD Systems but with different scopes.
