FIRST EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP ON INTELLIGENT CAD SYSTEMS -Theoretical and Methodological AspectsAPRIL 22-24, 1987 NOORDWIJKERHOUT, THE NETHERLANDS
Organized by CENTRE FOR MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

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 his/her 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.
