An Integrated Data Description Language for Coding Design Knowledge

  • Conference paper
Intelligent CAD Systems I

Part of the book series: EurographicSeminars ((FOCUS COMPUTER))

Abstract

We present in a unifying framework the basic notions of I DDL (Integrated Data Description Language) to code design knowledge in the IIICAD system. IIICAD is an intelligent, integrated, and interactive computer-aided design environment we are currently developing at the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science.

Group Bart Veth consists of (in alphabetical order): Varol Akman, Peter Bemus, Paul ten Hagen, Jan Rogier, Tetsuo Tomiyama, and Paul Veerkamp.
