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.
