Abstract

We are pleased to report that this JCISE special issue on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Design attracted about 40 submissions with more than a hundred co-authors! These numbers speak volumes about the importance and vigor of AI in Design as an interdisciplinary field of study. We hope that this special issue will add to the momentum of research into AI in Design. Only 14 papers were included in this special issue based on technical quality and fitness with the scope of this issue.Research into knowledge-based design attends to several closely related issues that we may classify into seven categories: (1) uses of knowledge in design, (2) content and representation of knowledge, (3) organization and access of knowledge in memory, (4) acquisition and learning of knowledge, (5) communication of knowledge in human-computer interaction, (6) communication of knowledge in human-computer-human collaboration, and (7) methodologies for studying knowledge-based design. Briefly, use of knowledge pertains to design tasks and methods, such as the method of case-based reasoning for the task of proposing a conceptual design and the method of model-based reasoning for adapting a proposed design to meet specific design requirements. Content of knowledge refers to the types and ontologies of knowledge, for example, knowledge of specific kinds of objects, variables, concepts, relations, processes, etc. Representation of knowledge refers to forms of knowledge such as logical predicates and…
