complex plant, etc.
* design processes: general systematic design - application,
management of design process, methods in various design
stages (e.g. for evaluation, representation, etc.)
* product development methodology, relationships to current
best industrial practice, methods such as integration,
QFD, TQM, concurrency, Taguchi methods etc.
* design for quality, especially design for manufacture,
assembly, distribution, transport, economics,
(especially costs), environment (ecology), reliability,
maintenance and repair, etc.
* design support by computers - design support systems
(including decision support), product modelling (e.g.
features-based), knowledge modelling, attachment of
properties to product models, etc.
* education for engineering design
The schedule of planning is:

EAST-WEST CONFERENCE
====================
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DESIGN
=============================
International Centre for Scientific and Technical Information,
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moscow, 5-9th September 1994
----------------------------
Conference Aims:
The conference is concerned with the creative human activity of
designing artifacts such as systems, structures, machines and a
variety of objects. It aims to reconsider an important question:
* How could we use information technology (IT) to enhance
human creativity and improve the effectiveness of designers?
The conference will build upon achievements and learn from
limitations of current systems. Examples of important questions
which we shall discuss in Moscow include:
* Why is it that we do not know how to employ information
technology at the conceptual stage of design when a major
creative effort is required?
* Do we know how to support concurrent engineering, i.e. teams
of designers from a variety of disciplines co-operating on
the development of new products with customers and marketing
specialists?
* What is the best way of using IT to aid the strategic
evolution of products, i.e. designing products that can
evolve with the changing requirements of customers?
Panel Discussion:
* The lessons of CAD history - the achievements, mistakes,
prospects.
Conference Language:
Abstracts and papers should be written in English. Presentations
can be made in English or in Russian. Professional interpreters
will be available for sequential interpreting during the conference.

All other submissions and enquiries should be sent to the Conference Office.
Fees
The Conference fee is expected to be #220 with an early payment reduction
of #25. The fee for registered students is expected to be #110 with an
early payment reduction of #15.
Publications
The best papers will be included in a book to be published in 1995.
Because of the visual nature of much of the material, a CD-ROM will also be
produced around the themes of the conference and all material submitted
will be considered for inclusion.
The venue
Brighton is situated on the South Coast, just 60 minutes by train from
London, 40 minutes from Gatwick Airport and 40 minutes from the
cross-Channel ferry terminal at Newhaven. The conference will take place
at the Grand Parade site which is a short distnce from the sea, BrightonUs
Royal Pavilion and other tourist attractions.
A number of student study bedrooms have been reserved at the Falmer campus
of the University which is a short bus or train ride from the conference
venue. These will provide accommodation at around #19 per night for those
who require it. Alternatively, righton has many hotels and boarding houses
at all price ranges and details will be provided on request.

CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
ICED 95 PRAHA
=============
International Conference on Engineering Design
----------------------------------------------
22-24 August 1995
-----------------
Czech Technical University (CVUT)
Prague, Czech Republic
This conference is called to review and extend the results of
long-term co-operation within the framework of ICED, and
particularly to transfer this knowledge into engineering practice.
It is the tenth in the ICED series, they started with ICED 81 Rome
and continued with growing success in Copenhagen, Hamburg,
Boston (MA), Budapest, Harrogate, Dubrovnik, Zurich and
the Hague. Since their inception, over 3000 experts from 59
countries have attended.
The proposed themes include:
* state and future trends of design science, research
and methods.
* state of current application of design science and
methods into engineering practice, problems and
consultation support.
* branch-specific design science, e.g. for machine tools,
complex plant, etc.
* design processes: general systematic design - application,
management of design process, methods in various design
stages (e.g. for evaluation, representation, etc.)
* product development methodology, relationships to current
best industrial practice, methods such as integration,
QFD, TQM, concurrency, Taguchi methods etc.
* design for quality, especially design for manufacture,
assembly, distribution, transport, economics,
(especially costs), environment (ecology), reliability,
maintenance and repair, etc.
* design support by computers - design support systems
(including decision support), product modelling (e.g.
features-based), knowledge modelling, attachment of
properties to product models, etc.
* education for engineering design
The schedule of planning is:
30th August 1994 submission of abstracts
15th November 1994 acceptance of abstracts
15th February 1995 receipt of camera-ready manuscripts
for Proceedings
Abstracts should be 400 to 500 words in length, must indicate
which of the announced topics is to be addressed by the
contribution, and must contain indications of references from
previous ICED conferences and the open literature. Working
languages for the conference and papers will be English and German.

EAST-WEST CONFERENCE
====================
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DESIGN
=============================
International Centre for Scientific and Technical Information,
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moscow, 5-9th September 1994
----------------------------
Conference Aims:
The conference is concerned with the creative human activity of
designing artifacts such as systems, structures, machines and a
variety of objects. It aims to reconsider an important question:
* How could we use information technology (IT) to enhance
human creativity and improve the effectiveness of designers?
The conference will build upon achievements and learn from
limitations of current systems. Examples of important questions
which we shall discuss in Moscow include:
* Why is it that we do not know how to employ information
technology at the conceptual stage of design when a major
creative effort is required?
* Do we know how to support concurrent engineering, i.e. teams
of designers from a variety of disciplines co-operating on
the development of new products with customers and marketing
specialists?
* What is the best way of using IT to aid the strategic
evolution of products, i.e. designing products that can
evolve with the changing requirements of customers?
Panel Discussion:
* The lessons of CAD history - the achievements, mistakes,
prospects.
Conference Language:
Abstracts and papers should be written in English. Presentations
can be made in English or in Russian. Professional interpreters
will be available for sequential interpreting during the conference.
