Intelligent Agents in Design
Edited by:
J. S. Gero and F.M.T. Brazier
Modelling single agent design processes is an acknowledged challenge
to the Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence research
communities. Modelling multi-agent design processes is a new
challenge. This challenge - acquiring the ability to model and
implement design processes as distributed reasoning systems - has
given new impetus to the study of design theory and methodology.
The international Workshop on Intelligent Agents in Design
(WAID'2002), held at MIT, and the Intelligent Agents in Design
Workshop at AID'02, held at Cambridge University, focussed on research
progress, objectives and directions. The goal of this special issue is
to further this area of research, exploring and extending the borders
of the use of agent technology in and for design.
Topics that may be addressed include:
- Agent-based design communities;
- Agent ontologies for design;
- Agent reasoning for design;
- Co-ordination of design agents;
- Creativity and design agents;
- Emergent behaviour in multi-agent design systems;
- Multi-agent design systems;
- Virtual design environments with agents.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by at least two
reviewers, and a selection for publication made on the basis of these
reviews.
