Scope |
CAI is a young domain in the array of CAx technologies. The goal of CAI is to support enterprises throughout the complete innovation process. Although some existing ideas and concepts of CAI focus on assisting product designers in their creative stage, a more comprehensive vision conceives CAI systems beginning at the creative stage of perceiving business opportunities and customer demands, then continue helping in developing inventions and, further on, providing help up to the point of turning inventions into successful innovations in the market. As Product Life Cycle Management tools are being integrated with Knowledge management methods and tools, new alternatives arise regarding the Engineering Desktop.
It is expected that changes in innovation paradigms will occur through the use of Computer Aided Innovation methods and tools, which structure is partially inspired by modern Innovation Theories as TRIZ, ASIT, Axiomatic Design, Synectics, General Theory of Innovation, Mind Mapping, Brain Storming, and Lateral Thinking among others. On the other side the rouse of new information technology and methods, such as semantic web, data mining, text mining, theory of chaos and evolutionary algorithms are being increasingly used for more accurately foretelling the next steps in the technological evolution and in the development of new products. This conference is aiming at clarifying the essential factors characterizing these new arising tools for bridging the gap between the traditional methods and current trends in search of efficient innovation.
Aims:
Calling for contributions for clarifying the role of computer aided innovation tools
Contributing to the further development of the Engineer's Desktop focusing on end-to-end product creation process with methods and tools to ensure the feasibility and success of innovations in early stages of the innovation process
Product-related validation (e.g. requirements processing, simulation)
Process-related validation (e.g. frontloading)
Addressing the main motivations of the industrial sector, regarding the engineering innovation activity with computer tools and methods
Discussing organizational, technological and cognitive aspects of the application of CAI methods and tools, and also an evaluation of their effectiveness and efficiency
Addressing the main motivations of the academic community regarding theoretical foundations of CAI
