Agenda:
The purpose of the Computational Design Synthesis SIG is to bring together international researchers focused on computational, formal, and algorithmic approaches to supporting design synthesis. The SIG will provide a means for researchers and industry to network, exchange ideas, share expertise and find synergies in order to advance fundamental research, tool development and integration of methods in industry. Further, the SIG will organize workshops and seek funding for both networking people and forming larger international research efforts.
Focus:
Synthesis is a fundamental activity in engineering design and is at the heart of the early and conceptual phases. The synthesis process involves task formulation, design representation, composition, design generation, design interpretation and re-interpretation, design evaluation, search and optimization.
The Computational Design Synthesis SIG will focus on the following research topics, all within the context of supporting design synthesis: computational synthesis, generative design, design automation, computational design representations for synthesis, engineering and design grammars, emergence, knowledge-based approaches, design spaces, computational problem solving, design optimization and search, machine-learning based approaches, software prototype and tool development, and integration of computational synthesis tools in design processes. The SIG will be multi-disciplinary including researchers from mechanical engineering, architecture, industrial design, and civil engineering as well as a range of industry sectors related to these disciplines.
