Dear Charles and all interested people,
Regarding the AI approach in Design I can suggest the articles published in
the free online journal GASATHJ, Generative Art Science and Technology hard
Journal, http://www.gasathj.com and the papers of Generative Art annual
conference since 1998, http://www.generativeart.com where it's possible to
find around 800 papers, many of them focused on Design advanced approach.
Kindest regards
Celestino Soddu

Subject: Re: Research Request -- Coverage
Ken and colleagues,
I am writing to suggest that there are 3 areas for design research that are
possibly not being addressed well in practice related research. This is
particularly true when there is an emphasis on formal methodology rather
than what actually happens or could happen. These areas, I think, are
Demonstrations, Semantic Correlation, and Algorithms in Artificial
Intelligence in the context of design practice. I would appreciate
references and/or comment on all three issues from members of the list. I
hope everyone will consider the issues they raise related to your research.
Demonstrations can involve the development, implementation, and management
of methods that change practice and its tools. The following papers describe
an example and point to the complexity that many research methods
deliberately avoid. "The Advanced Driver Interface Design/Assessment
Project" at www.
<http://www.independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette>independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette
<http://www.independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette>; Burnette, C.,
Schaaf,W., 1998: "Issues in Using Jack Human Figure Modeling to Assess
Human-Vehicle Interaction in a Driving Simulator", Transportation Research
Board, National Research Council Transportation Research Record No 1631,
Washington D.C., National Academy Press
Semantic Correlation is a method involving comparison and interpretation of
outlines that profile the content and process of design tasks and projects.
Outlines of design process have occurred through the history of design but
have rarely been tied to an ontological framework and compared. The analysis
and interpretation of information related to design and design
communications is lacking. The paper describing this interpretive approach,
"Building and Using A Theory of Design Thinking
<https://www.academia.edu/21920677/Building_and_Using_A_Theory_of_Design_Thinking>”
can be found at www.
<http://www.independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette>independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette
<http://www.independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette>
Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming a major tool for informing
design decisions, yet I know of no research that has considered how it has
been or could be applied in the context of design practice. Such research
must address commercially owned and secret algorithms and criteria for
selection, focusing, and evaluation of outcomes. If you know of or are doing
such research please let the rest of us learn about it. The paper "The
Future of Design thinking” which touches on this topic can also be found
at www.
<http://www.independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette>independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette
<http://www.independent.academia.edu/charlesburnette>
Finally, I am deeply concerned that design research is not focusing on
information that can shape future design practice rather than merely make
present practice marginally more efficient (if its findings are even
considered by busy practitioners). Design research that shapes the future is
badly needed, and in my view, should closely reflect the practical uses of
natural intelligence.
Or, so I believe,
Chuck
