Workshop on "Advances in Conceptual Modeling in Design"

In conjunction with 6th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
in Design'00, 26-29 June 2000, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester,
near Boston,
Massachusetts, USA

25 June 2000

THE WORKSHOP

The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing
an on-going state-of-the-art research and applications in conceptual
modeling as part of the artificial intelligence methodologies in design. The
variety of semantic design data and knowledge modeling (including
entity-relationship and object-oriented modeling), design process and
product modeling, and modeling for Web-based design environments are only
part of conceptual modeling in design. Conceptual modeling methods provide
the necessary framework for the representation of design information in all
design domains.

Conceptual modeling in a domain such as design has to take into account the
concepts of various disciplines with different conceptual concerns. For
example, in the building design architects are concerned with spaces and
form, engineers with energy control and flow of forces and constructors with
elemental and time concepts.
Other disciplines with concerns include facilities management and even
occupational therapists. This workshop is an attempt to bring together
experts in the field of conceptual modeling in design and domain experts
from different applied disciplines related to design, who are dealing with
different aspects of conceptual modeling.
