I am beginning a survey of the current status of work in applying Expert Systems technology to Computer Aided Design. This survey is being done for the Knowledge Engineering group at General Motors. I would greatly appreciate any descriptions of or references to research in this area, as well as information on what CAD expert systems and expert system shells are available for purchase. -- Scott Spangler, spangler@gmr.com -- Advanced Engineering Staff, GM

You may also write or send e-mail to Professor Sriram in the Civil Engineering Department here at MIT who has written an expert system for structural design called DESTINY. His e-mail address is sriram@athena.mit.edu- mine is bolasov@aphrodite.mit.edu or Olasov@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA. Good luck! Ben
