Design Computing and Cognition (DCC'12)
AIEDAM Special Issue, Spring 2012, Vol.28, No.2
Edited by: Tracy Hammond & Julie Linsey
This special issue of AIEDAM aims to present cutting edge, state-of-the-art research in design computing and cognition from DCC'12, the Fifth International Conference on Design Computing & Cognition (http://mason.gmu.edu/~jgero/conferences/dcc12/).
Design is a fundamentally important topic in disciplines ranging from the more commonly associated fields of engineering, information technology and architecture, to emerging areas in the social sciences and life sciences. Design research aims to develop an understanding of designing and to produce models that can be used to aid designing.
Design research can be carried out in variety of ways. It can be viewed as largely an empirical endeavor in which experiments are designed and executed in order to test some hypothesis about some design phenomenon or design behavior. This is the approach adopted in cognitive science. The results of such research can form the basis of a computational model. Another view, and the most common one in the computational domain, is that design research can be carried out by conjecturing design processes, constructing computational models of those processes and then examining the behaviors of the resulting computational systems.
Topics in design computing and cognition include, but are not limited to:
- Agents in design
- Artificial intelligence in design
- Biologically-inspired and analogical design
- Collaborative design
- Cognitive theories applied to design
- Computational theories applied to design
- Creative design
- Design in practice
- Digital media in design
- Evolutionary approaches in design
- Games and design
- Human cognition in design
- Learning from human designers
- Machine learning in design
- Multi-modal design
- Situated computing in design
- Virtual environments in design
- Visual and spatial reasoning in design
All DCC'12 contributors including plenary session paper, poster, and workshop authors are invited to submit significantly revised and extended papers, or completely new papers. Note that your conference papers must not be resubmitted unchanged as they are already covered by publisher's copyright.
Submissions are not open to people who did not take part in the conference. All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by at least three 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 http://aiedam.usc.edu.
Inquiries about this special issue should be sent to the Guest Editors.
