************************************************************************
* SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DESIGN *
************************************************************************
* DETAILS ON REGISTRATION, ACCOMMODATION, WORKSHOPS & TECHNICAL VISITS *
************************************************************************


22-25 JUNE 1992
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, USA


Design is becoming a major research topic in engineering and architecture.
It is the key to economic competitiveness and the fundamental precursor to
manufacturing. However, our understanding of design as a process and our
ability to model it are still very limited. This conference series aims to
provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of
developments in artificial intelligence in design.


CONFERENCE VENUE
Gregg Hall, Level 1 of Porter Hall, Frew Street, Carnegie Mellon
University.


INVITED SPEAKER: PROFESSOR HERBERT SIMON
Herbert Simon is Richard King Mellon University Professor of Computer
Science and Psychology at CMU. His work has had a significant influence
on artificial intelligence in design. His talk is entitled `People and
Computers: Their Roles in Creative Design'


WORKSHOPS
Seven half-day workshops precede the main conference. They are held on
the weekend of 20-21 June 1992. The purpose of the workshops is to allow
participants to explore a topic in detail. Papers not accepted for
presentation at the conference should not be submitted to workshops. If
you wish to attend one or more of the workshops you need to contact that
workshop's contact person directly. Attendance at workshops is limited
to persons who register for the conference and the numbers in each
workshop are limited.
