Design automation - theautomation of processes involved in the design of
objects and processes.
There is / has been a group within the ACM concerned with these issues for many
years called SIGDA, Special Interest Group of the Assoc. for Computing Machines
on Design Automation. This is the group the that laid the groundwork for
the CAD systems now in popular use and for VLSI design methodology.
A recent book which can get you up to speed on the current research is
_Creativity in Invention and Design_ by Subrata Dasgupta
More domain specific books include
_Engineering Design_ by Clive Dym
AI in Enginneering Design_ Chris Tong & Duvvuru Sriram
Modelling Creativity and Knowledge Based Design _ John Gero and Mary Lou Maher
I also suggest that you read our journal _Languages of Design_. It is
a transdisciplinary journal whose primary concerns are fairly theoretical.
If you send me your address, I'll send you a coupon for a sample copy.
