Gordon Research Conference on Theoretical Foundations of Product Design and Manufacturing; June 11-16, 2000, Plymouth, NH

该奖项为戈登研究会议提供支持，会议内容涉及产品设计和可制造性的理论基础。会议将于2000年6月11日至16日在新罕布夏州普利茅斯的普利茅斯州立学院举行。它将汇集来自工程设计、制造、数学、经济学和决策理论领域的专家。会议形式包括上午和晚上的会议，下午有空闲时间进行小组讨论和海报会议。在每一次正式会议中，将提交几份简短的立场文件，随后将进行公开讨论。讨论的主题包括：最新技术，创造力在设计中的作用，决策理论在设计中的作用，数学表示和优化在设计中的作用，设计方法的验证，设计理论和设计工具的实现，集成工程，以及分布式设计。

This award provides support for a Gordon Research Conference on the theoretical foundations of product design and manufactureability. The conference will be held at Plymouth State College in Plymouth, New Hampshire, June 11-16, 2000. It will bring together experts from the fields of engineering design, manufacturing, mathematics, economics, and decision theory. The conference format consists of morning and evening sessions, with afternoons free for small group discussions and poster sessions. In each of the formal sessions, a few brief position papers will be presented, and these will be followed by open discussion. Topics of discussion will include: the state of the art, the role of creativity in design, the role of decision theory in design, the role of mathematical representation and optimization in design, validation of design methods, implementation of design theory and design tools, integration engineering, and distributed design.
