Conference Themes

This conference will seek convergence from the conference participants on the following questions:

1. What is the State-of-Art reflected in the present design theory, optimization theory and information sciences literature with respect to using your work in industry ?
2. What are roadblocks/hurdles in implementing your work in industry ?
3. What research needs to be undertaken that will promote the use of your work in industry ?
4. What are the elements of a design theory and AI techniques necessary to support multidisciplinary optimization and design with high-end computing at its core?
5. What new developments in AI in design, analysis, and optimization methods are needed to exploit the full potential of the new hardware/software architectures for high speed and intelligent computing that offer massively parallel processing in a heterogeneous, distributed computing environment that will support multidisciplinary optimization?

Proceedings

A volume of extended abstracts will be published in either CD ROM format or hardcopy and made available to all participants at the conference.

Full papers, submitted by authors at the conference will be peer-reviewed rigorously by 3 reviewers and a bound volume will be published with the selected papers. It is envisaged that a recognized academic publishing company will be entrusted to pubish selected full papers in bounded volume(s). The name of this publisher will be announced at by 30 June 2004.

Authours will have a choice to communicate their papers to refereed journals for possible publication if their paper could not be included in the above bound volume.
