Since applying knowledge engineering to CAD systems seems very promising to solve the problems of conventional CAD systems, it has drawn attention from not only CAD researchers but also AI researchers. The first workshop which was held on April 21-24, 1987, in the Netherlands, aimed at discussing the results and problems in this highly interesting field. We have realized that ad hoc approaches will eventually result in increased complexity of CAD applications and that we need a robust theoretical basis for development. This second workshop in 1988 is planned to discuss implementational issues and to clarify problems associated with developing intelligent CAD systems based on those theoretical and methodological considerations. The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to; 1) Role of theories to implement intelligent CAD systems. 2) Implementations of theories for intelligent CAD systems. 3) Architecture of intelligent CAD systems. 4) Techniques and tools to implement intelligent CAD systems. 5) Acquisition and maintenance of design knowledge. 6) Innovative and large-scale implementations of intelligent CAD systems. 7) Problems and future tasks in implementations of intelligent CAD systems. We are especially interested in reports telling how theoretical work influenced implementations. SCHEDULE FOR THE SECOND WORKSHOP November 1, 1987: Deadline for extended abstracts and position papers. December 1987: Notification of acceptance for presentation. February 1988: Acceptance of participation. April 12-15, 1988: Workshop (Full papers are submitted just before the workshop). May 1988: Deadline for final manuscripts for publication. SERIES SCHEDULE Approximately 15 reviewed papers will be presented in this second workshop. Participants will be limited to about 50 based on invitation. Intended authors and participants are invited to submit extended abstracts or position papers. The results of this series of three workshops will be published by Springer-Verlag as Eurographics Seminar Books. The report on the first workshop held in April 1987, "Intelligent CAD Systems 1: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects," will be published in August 1987. This series of workshop is being organized under cooperation with IFIP Working Group 5.2 Workshops on Intelligent CAD Systems but with different scopes.

The algorithm does not have to be fast, but must be complete. Thanks.

I have a problem that is in dire need of a solution. Having very little direction, maybe some of you have an answer: I have wire-frame animation FORTRAN program on our mainframe (IBM 3081) that I would like to tape it directly to a VCR. Currently, I am using DISSPLA graphics to write to a Tektronics 618 screen (which is the graphics attachment to an IBM 3277 terminal). Since the TEK 618 has a refresh buffer, simple animations can be accompliced. The problem with this that the TEK-618 is a vector and not raster screen thus no way to record the graphics signal. My question is then : does anyone know of some 'relatively' low cost way of doing real-time video recording of a computer generated color animation. A couple of ideas I've been toying with are : 1. the Amiga 1000 - it preports to have a composite video output port but I have my doubts as to how well it may work in real-time 2. a PC or terminal with an RGB output connected to a computer video processor, to convert the RGB to an NTSC signal for the VCR - but I am only aware of 1 such terminal (TEK 4208) and only 1 video processor manufacturer. Any help or suggestions that anyone can offer will be GREATLY appreciated! Tom R. Loden ARPA = 'LODEN at LL' P.S. I have just recented joined this digest, so if this problem has already been discussed, please direct me to the relevant digest issues (in the event that the archives ever find an 'FTP' home). ------------------------------ End of INFO-GRAPHICS ********************
