                            Call for Papers

                    Third Eurographics Workshop on
                        INTELLIGENT CAD SYSTEMS
                 "Practical Experience and Evaluation"

                           April 3-7, 1989
                  Hotel Opduin, Texel, The Netherlands


AIM AND SCOPE:
    This is the third workshop in a series of three Eurographics Workshops
on Intelligent CAD Systems which have the following topics

1.	1987:	Theoretical and Methodological Aspects
2.	1988:	Implementational Issues
3.	1989:	PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE AND EVALUATION

Applying knowledge engineering to CAD has during the last decade become a
major area of research, known as Intelligent CAD. The scope of this workshop
includes (but is not limited to):

-	Experiments with intelligent CAD systems.
-	The role of intelligent CAD systems in industrial design.
-	Acquisition and maintenance of design expertise.
-	Software engineering for implementations of intelligent CAD systems.
-	User interfaces for intelligent CAD systems.
-	Knowledge representation languages for design.
-	Integration of application software (finite elements, qualitative
	physics, etc.) to intelligent CAD systems.

The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
EurographicSeminar Books series. The record of the first workshop has already
been published by Springer-Verlag and the volume covering the second workshop
should be out before December, 1988.

DEADLINES:
-	Nov. 1, 1988	  Deadline for extended abstracts.
-	Jan. 15, 1989	  Notification of acceptance.
-	March 15, 1989    Submission of full papers.
-	April 3-7, 1989   Workshop.
-	May 15, 1989      Deadline for final manuscripts.
-	Dec. 1, 1989      Springer-Verlag third volume in book shops.

ABSTRACTS:
    We are planning to accept 20 papers and we shall limit the total
number of participants to 50. Please submit 3 copies of a single-spaced
extended abstract of at LEAST 1000 and at MOST 3000 words (not counting
figures and references) on A4 sheets before November 1, 1988 to the
workshop secretary:

    Ms. Marja Hegt, ICAD WS #3
    Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI)
    Kruislaan 413, 1098 SJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    Tel. +31-20-592-4058, Fax +31-20-592-4199, E-mail marja@cwi.nl.uucp

Submission by electronic mail is encouraged as long as the author sends
the additional material (e.g. figures) in time. The abstract should
include: title of the contribution, author's name, adress (phone, fax,
e-mail information is very useful), main text and figures, and
references. If you are interested only in participating (but not in
presenting a paper), then you are still required to submit an abstract
which should take the form of a position paper explaining how you regard
the issues of intelligent CAD. We are not planning to admit applicants
who have not submitted an extended abstract (or as explained, a position
paper).

WORKSHOP FEE:
    1100 Dutch Guilders. This price includes accommodation, food, and
a special excursion. The workshop starts on April 3rd (Monday) with dinner
and ends on April 7th (Friday) after lunch. The fee for an accompanying
non-participating person is 750.
