- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
-
- THE AAAI-93 WORKSHOP ON AI IN COLLABORATIVE DESIGN
- in conjunction with AAAI-93, Washington DC, 11-16 July 1993
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Design is recognised as being among the most complex of the intelligent
- human endeavors. AI in design has helped to develop renewed interest
- in design research and design computing by providing a symbolic
- approach to modeling complex recognition and decision making. Until
- recently, most AI in design research considered design as an activity
- carried out by a single person and provided support tools for the
- individual. Design, today, is rarely carried out by an individual working
- alone, but by individuals or groups working collaboratively. AI addresses
- models of problem solving for both individual and multi-agent activities,
- and consequently has the potential to shape this developing field.
-
- This workshop is of particular interest at this time because there is an
- increasing focus on the use of AI in design environments but a lack of
- comprehensive models for collaborative design. AI provides representation
- and reasoning paradigms which have extended the use of computers in design
- beyond graphical CAD and numerical analysis towards knowledge-based
- systems. Current developments in collaborative design focus on
- communication among individuals or processes across multiple domains,
- where collaboration can occur among homogeneous or heterogeneuos design
- views. Where AI-based design process models address an individual's
- multiple views, AI-based collaborative design must focus on merging and
- communication multiple views across multiple individuals.
-
- The organisers of this workshop provide two distinct perspectives on the
- topic of AI in collaborative design. One perspective is to view it as an
- AI problem, the other is to view it as a design problem. This workshop
- will bring together AI researchers and professionals interested in
- design problem solving and design researchers and professionals who
- use AI techniques.
-
- Objectives
- ----------
-
- The main objectives of this workshop are to provide a forum for
- researchers and practitioners in the field of artificial intelligence in
- collaborative design, to discuss state-of-the-art experimental research,
- and to set a new agenda for future research and development in the
- field.
-
- Topics
- ------
-
- The workshop will focus on the following issues:
- * DAI in collaborative design
- * languages for communication and cooperation
- * representation and communication of design intent
- * intelligent user interfaces for groupwork
- * intelligent synchronous multimedia interaction
- * models for developing groupware
- * symbolic approaches to visual reasoning
- * recognition of emergence of new properties
-
- Format of the Workshop
- ----------------------
-
- The workshop is designed to have a round-table format. Up to four
- presentations selected from the submitted papers will be given. The
- presentations will act as catalysts for discussion.
-
- Attendance
- ----------
-
- Attendance at the workshop will be restricted to people who submit
- papers. The number of attendees will be limited.
-
- Submission Details
- ------------------
-
- Four copies of either full papers (maximum 20 pages) or extended
- abstracts (approximately 5 pages) should be sent either electronically
- or as hard copy to:
