Special Issue, Fall 2007, Vol.21 No.4
Design Computing and Cognition
Edited by:
Andy Dong & John Gero
This special issue of
AIEDAM aims to present state-of-the-art and cutting edge
research and developments in design computing and cognition from the
Second
International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition
(DCC'06).
The themes of design computing and cognition form an
integrating framework to design research by recognizing the essential
relationship between human cognitive processes in designing, as models
of computation, and how models of computation in designing can inspire
conceptual realizations of human cognition. This reciprocal
relationship informs the kernel of research methods and issues that
unite researchers across design disciplines.
Topics in design computing
and cognition include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced digital technologies in design research
- Agents in design
- Artificial intelligence in design
- Collaborative design
- Cognitive theories applied to design
- Computational theories applied to design
- Creative design
- Design simulation
- Design synthesis
- Evolutionary approaches in design
- Generative design
- Grammars in design
- Human cognition in design
- Learning from human designers
- Situated computing in design
- Spatial reasoning in design
- Virtual environments in design
- Visual reasoning in design
All DCC'06 contributors
including plenary session paper, poster, and workshop authors are
invited to submit significantly revised and extended papers, or
completely new papers. Submissions are not open to people who
did not take part in the conference.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by
at least two expert reviewers, and a selection for publication made on
the basis of these reviews.
Information about the
format and style required for
AIEDAM papers can be found at
www.cs.wpi.edu/~aiedam/Instructions/.
However, note that all
submissions for special issues go to the Guest Editors, and not to the
Editor in Chief.
