Artificial Intelligence Supported Design and Innovation

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence techniques and paradigms are having an ever-increasing impact across a wide range of activities associated with design and innovation. This impact can be seen from the way mass produced products are designed, developed, and produced through to the way bespoke artifacts can be automatically customized from generic designs. From our point of view, engineering design is not necessarily related to tangible products and CAD. Thus, in this Special Issue, we encourage authors to submit works that deal also with innovative use of artificial intelligence in user interface and user experience design, manufacturing planning design and in general in every aspect of engineering design process that produce a product or a service.

The primary objective of the Special Issue is to present a coherent and comprehensive analysis of developments relating to the application of artificial intelligent techniques in the field of design and innovation.  It is envisaged that either contributions will report on work that has already come to fruition that might act as an inspiration to others or articulate issues that need to receive further attention, together with an analysis of potential avenues for progressing them.
