AIM

Today, one of the main streams in CAD research has become so-called
intellectualization of CAD systems, primarily, as an application of
knowledge engineering.  This research may contain two aspects;
intellectualization of CAD systems by intelligence for helping
designers and intellectualization by problem solving ability.  The
former approach may be achieved by developing intelligent user
interface concept, for instance, so that the designer can perform
her/his full ability, whereas the latter may be achieved by developing
systems, like expert systems, which can solve various engineering
problems.

However, it is obvious that either of these two approaches can alone
fulfill requirements to future CAD systems.  It is necessary to
develop an integrated environment for intelligent CAD systems using
intelligent interactive techniques.  Therefore, we pursue integration
of these two approaches in order to build intelligent CAD systems, and
we discuss issues such as

	- configuration of intelligent CAD systems,
	- tools and techniques for developing those systems,
	- methodology for developing.

We plan a series of three workshops beginning in 1987.

	- 1987: Theoretical and methodological aspects in developing
		an intelligent CAD system.
	- 1988: Architecture of an intelligent CAD system.
	- 1989: Practical experiences and evaluation of an intelligent
		CAD system.

SCOPE OF THE FIRST WORKSHOP IN 1987

	1. Principle and configuration of intelligent CAD systems
	2. Theory and methodology of development
	3. Available tools for development, such as intelligent user
	   interace management systems and tools for problem solving
	   in design
	4. Use and role of intelligent user interface systems in an
	   intelligent CAD environment

STYLE OF WORKSHOP

Approximately 10 invited papers and 10 refereed papers will be
presented.  Participants will be limited roughly 50.  In this workshop,
theoretical and methodological aspects are emphasized.  The result of
this workshop will be published by Springer-Verlag. 

SCHEDULE FOR THE WORKSHOP

December 1, 1986:  Deadline for extended abstracts up to 1000 words
January 1987:	   Notification of acceptance
March 1987:	   Acceptance of participation
April 22-24, 1987: Workshop (Full papers are submitted on site)
July 1987:	   Deadline for final manuscripts for publication

Subject: Can ya help me with a couple of files?

Hello,

I recently got a couple of what should be nice graph files from a friend
here on BITNET, and I've run into a problem.  Seems they're in GDF and
GL formats.  Hopefully this'll be the right place to ask this, but is
there any execs or programs out there floating around that will convert
those files over to a printable format for me on an IBM/370?  How about
an IBM-PC/XT/AT?  I guess I don't ask for much, eh?
     At the very least, can anybody direct me to a manual that will show
me how to convert these plotter codes into regular old penplots?  I'd
rather not reinvent the wheel, but I could always write my own
conversions, (being either brave or stupid, myself), and I'm not too
afraid to work.
     Since I'm not on this list, please respond directly to me:

                            DAVE@UWF.BITNET

I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Dave Jaquay
