Description: This project supports participation of six American scientists in a U.S.-Turkish binational workshop on `Description Models of Engineering Design` to be held at the Faculty of Architecture of Istanbul Technical University, in Istanbul, Turkey in the Fall of 1996. This project brings together a number of experts from the U.S. and from Turkey, as well as a number of experts from few other countries. The purpose is to encourage inter-disciplinary interaction and collaboration between researchers interested in describing engineering design for a variety of purposes, including : understanding, prediction, explanation, formal modeling, simulation, decision support, design assistance, and automation. Formal methods and tool development in the area of engineering and building design have had limited success. For example, computer assisted building design (CABD) has made little impact in the design delivery process or the actual performance of building or similar structures. Recently there has been an increase in the attention paid to understanding how humans design and how they use tools-especially electronic ones- while they design. Efforts in this area are carried out by the NSF supported Engineering Design Research Center, at Carnegie Mellon University, to develop design tools and understand their use, to improve performance in industry. Scope: This project supports a new idea for a workshop dealing with design as multidisciplinary endeavor applicable to many engineering fields such as in structures, machines, and other engineering systems. The workshop will serve as a medium for interdisciplinary exchange of findings and ideas between international participants who will be distributed between several key disciplines such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, building engineering, and architecture. The meeting will produce publications including pre-proceedings, and selected publications in the international journal of Design Studies, and later in an edited book. The meeting also is to forge a plan of cooperation among participating individuals and institutions. The cooperation will target key concepts: practice, tool, inter-disciplinary transfer, productivity and creativity. This project allows a U.S. team of eminent scientists to work in an international setting with foreign colleagues to stimulate this important area of improvement in design. The project meets the objectives of the Division of International Programs (INT). The Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems and INT are jointly funding this project.

描述：该项目支持6名美国科学家参加将于1996年秋天在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的伊斯坦布尔技术大学建筑学院举行的关于工程设计的描述模型的美土两国研讨会。这个项目汇集了来自美国和土耳其的一些专家，以及来自其他几个国家的一些专家。其目的是鼓励对描述工程设计的各种目的感兴趣的研究人员之间的跨学科交互和协作，包括：理解、预测、解释、形式建模、模拟、决策支持、设计辅助和自动化。工程和建筑设计领域的正式方法和工具开发取得的成功有限。例如，计算机辅助建筑设计(CABD)对设计交付过程或建筑或类似结构的实际性能影响很小。最近，人们越来越多地关注理解人类如何设计以及他们在设计时如何使用工具--特别是电子工具。这方面的工作是由卡内基梅隆大学的NSF支持的工程设计研究中心进行的，目的是开发设计工具并了解它们的使用，以提高工业性能。范围：这个项目支持一个新的想法，将设计作为多学科的努力来处理，适用于许多工程领域，如结构、机械和其他工程系统。研讨会将作为国际参与者之间跨学科交流成果和想法的媒介，这些参与者将分布在机械工程、电气工程、建筑工程和建筑学等几个关键学科之间。会议将在《国际设计研究》杂志上发表包括会前讨论在内的出版物和选定的出版物，随后出版一本编辑过的书籍。会议还将制定一项与会个人和机构之间的合作计划。合作将针对关键概念：实践、工具、跨学科转移、生产力和创造力。该项目允许美国著名科学家团队在国际环境中与外国同事一起工作，以促进这一重要领域的设计改进。该项目符合国际方案司(INT)的目标。土木工程和机械系统司和INT共同资助这一项目。
