Abstract

On June 20th, 1992, a workshop entitled the “Preliminary Stages of Engineering Analysis and Modeling” was held at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, U.S.A. The workshop was organized in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Design (AID ’92), and aimed to provide a forum for engineers and computer scientists to examine how AI techniques could be exploited effectively in assisting engineers with the preliminary stages of engineering analysis and modeling. This report has two objectives; firstly it serves as a summary of the workshop and secondly it introduces four of the workshop papers that have been rewritten and extended for this issue.
