ORGANISATION OF THE WORKSHOP
Different types of sessions will take place over the first two days (9am-6pm):
1) Substantive presentations (45mn-1h) of current research in GIS research areas
2) Round tables and/or open discussions on new approaches and emerging issues
3) Special sessions will be organised to facilitate sub-group meetings on special topics or to discuss new research plans that could benefit from the cooperation of several GIS members and lead to new ideas and co-publications.
Building on the work done in previous workshops, we will have special parallel sessions to discuss the following four topics:
– Design theory and creation in philosophy and culture
– Design theory and Artificial Intelligence
– Design theory, cognition and psychology
– Design theory and management
Final programme and timetable: The chairs of the SIGs will draw up the final programme, taking into account the suggestions and proposals received from participants. Registration and workshop submission are detailed below.
