WORKSHOP ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DESIGN 

AIMS
The aim of this IJCAI workshop, co-chaired by Mark Fox of CMU  and  John
Gero of Sydney University, is to provide a forum for both AI researchers
in design and  design  researchers  using  AI  to  present  and  explore
state-of-the-art and cutting edge developments in AI in design in  order
to enhance both AI and design research. At the same  time  the  Workshop
will continue the process of forming a scientific  community  of  design
researchers.

BACKGROUND
Design has long been an area of particular interest for  AI  researchers
who view it as uniquely complex intelligent behavior and AI  researchers
are choosing design as  a  domain  to  study.  Design  researchers  have
embraced the  AI  paradigm  as  a  means  of  developing  and  exploring
computational and  cognitive  models  of  design  independently  of  the
specific  application  areas.  Developments  in  both  AI   and   design
understanding provide a burgeoning potential for cross-fertilisation  of
ideas.

TOPICS FOR PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
The workshop is organised around three major topics:

1.   Design Knowledge and its Representation
         - what is the knowledge in design
         - design knowledge compared to other knowledge
         - compiled and case knowledge
         - issues in abductive design knowledge
         - ontologies and semantics of design knowledge

2.   Processes for Routine and Non-Routine Design
         - models of routine design
         - constraint satisfaction
         - planning
         - decomposition
         - case-based reasoning
         - architectures for routine design
         - models of non-routine design
         - processes to support innovation and creativity
         - architectures for non-routine design

3.   Managing Design
         - cooperation processes and protocols
         - managment of change
         - negotiation strategies
         - constraint management

WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop would run for one day and is intended to  conclude  with  a
panel identifying the key research topics.  There  will  be  an  opening
speaker and, based on refereed submissions (there  is  an  international
panel of referees), a number of 15 minute presentations as catalysts for
discussion. The goal is to run the workshop  with  a  roundtable  format
rather than with a speaker/audience format. Attendance at  the  workshop
is restricted to persons who have made submissions.

SCHEDULE
Closing Date for Submissions:

        Closing date for preliminary submission:  24 May 1991.
        Two forms of submission are available; either 1,000 word
        abstract/position paper or approximately 5-10,000 word paper. 

Refereeing:      Completed 14 June 1991 and authors informed.
Final versions:  Due in Sydney 10 July 1991.
Workshop:        Sunday 25 August 1991
