title	Special Section on Architectures for Knowledge-Based Systems
source	CACM (28), 9, September
summary	A fundamental shift in the preferred approach to building applied artificial intelligence (AI) systems has taken place since the late 1960s. Previous work focused on the construction of general-purpose intelligent systems; the emphasis was on powerful inference methods that could function efficiently even when the available domain-specific knowledge was relatively meager. Today the emphasis is on the role of specific and detailed knowledge, rather than on reasoning methods.The first successful application of this method, which goes by the name of knowledge-based or expert-system research, was the DENDRAL program at Stanford, a long-term collaboration between chemists and computer scientists for automating the determination of molecular structure from empirical formulas and mass spectral data. The key idea is that knowledge is power, for experts, be they human or machine, are often those who know more facts and heuristics about a domain than lesser problem solvers. The task of building an expert system, therefore, is predominantly one of teaching" a system enough of these facts and heuristics to enable it to perform competently in a particular problem-solving context. Such a collection of facts and heuristics is commonly called a knowledge base. Knowledge-based systems are still dependent on inference methods that perform reasoning on the knowledge base, but experience has shown that simple inference methods like generate and test, backward-chaining, and forward-chaining are very effective in a wide variety of problem domains when they are coupled with powerful knowledge bases. If this methodology remains preeminent, then the task of constructing knowledge bases becomes the rate-limiting factor in expert-system development. Indeed, a major portion of the applied AI research in the last decade has been directed at developing techniques and tools for knowledge representation. We are now in the third generation of such efforts. The first generation was marked by the development of enhanced AI languages like Interlisp and PROLOG. The second generation saw the development of knowledge representation tools at AI research institutions; Stanford, for instance, produced EMYCIN, The Unit System, and MRS. The third generation is now producing fully supported commercial tools like KEE and S.1. Each generation has seen a substantial decrease in the amount of time needed to build significant expert systems. Ten years ago prototype systems commonly took on the order of two years to show proof of concept; today such systems are routinely built in a few months. Three basic methodologies-frames, rules, and logic-have emerged to support the complex task of storing human knowledge in an expert system. Each of the articles in this Special Section describes and illustrates one of these methodologies. "The Role of Frame-Based Representation in Reasoning," by Richard Fikes and Tom Kehler, describes an object-centered view of knowledge representation, whereby all knowldge is partitioned into discrete structures (frames) having individual properties (slots). Frames can be used to represent broad concepts, classes of objects, or individual instances or components of objects. They are joined together in an inheritance hierarchy that provides for the transmission of common properties among the frames without multiple specification of those properties. The authors use the KEE knowledge representation and manipulation tool to illustrate the characteristics of frame-based representation for a variety of domain examples. They also show how frame-based systems can be used to incorporate a range of inference methods common to both logic and rule-based systems.""Rule-Based Systems," by Frederick Hayes-Roth, chronicles the history and describes the implementation of production rules as a framework for knowledge representation. In essence, production rules use IF conditions THEN conclusions and IF conditions THEN actions structures to construct a knowledge base. The autor catalogs a wide range of applications for which this methodology has proved natural and (at least partially) successful for replicating intelligent behavior. The article also surveys some already-available computational tools for facilitating the construction of rule-based knowledge bases and discusses the inference methods (particularly backward- and forward-chaining) that are provided as part of these tools. The article concludes with a consideration of the future improvement and expansion of such tools.The third article, "Logic Programming, " by Michael Genesereth and Matthew Ginsberg, provides a tutorial introduction to the formal method of programming by description in the predicate calculus. Unlike traditional programming, which emphasizes how computations are to be performed, logic programming focuses on the what of objects and their behavior. The article illustrates the ease with which incremental additions can be made to a logic-oriented knowledge base, as well as the automatic facilities for inference (through theorem proving) and explanation that result from such formal descriptions. A practical example of diagnosis of digital device malfunctions is used to show how significantand complex problems can be represented in the formalism.A note to the reader who may infer that the AI community is being split into competing camps by these three methodologies: Although each provides advantages in certain specific domains (logic where the domain can be readily axiomatized and where complete causal models are available, rules where most of the knowledge can be conveniently expressed as experiential heuristics, and frames where complex structural descriptions are necessary to adequately describe the domain), the current view is one of synthesis rather than exclusivity. Both logic and rule-based systems commonly incorporate frame-like structures to facilitate the representation of large amounts of factual information, and frame-based systems like KEE allow both production rules and predicate calculus statements to be stored within and activated from frames to do inference. The next generation of knowledge representation tools may even help users to select appropriate methodologies for each particular class of knowledge, and then automatically integrate the various methodologies so selected into a consistent framework for knowledge.

summary	This paper analyzes different roles of technology in the creative process of contemporary visuality. Technology apparatus have their own rules, to which the operator submits, plenty of the times in a certain illusion of exercising a genuine freedom of creation. The danger of this illusion is an atrophy of the access to the imaginative capacities of the human being. Therefore, it is necessary to notice this kind of coercion operated by technology. Is the apparatus that seems to seduce the creator to a non-human place, somehow magic, in which the illusion of control can obstruct the access to the real potency of imagination.

title	The Implications of Expert Simulation Approach to the Simulation of Dynamic Process in Architectural Environments
source	CAAD Futures'91 International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Future. June, 1991. includes bibliography
summary	The simulation of dynamic process in architectural environments poses the problem of resolving the interaction of architectural objects with other objects such as humans, water, smoke etc., depending on the process simulated. Objects- oriented approach promises potential in solving this problem. The first part of this paper addresses expert simulation approach within the context of discrete events in architectural settings, then the second part summarizes work done in the application of such an approach to an emergency egress simulation

summary	This paper presents partial results from a process of a BIM application in the third period of the Architecture course of PUC Minas from August 2011. The study refers to a learning experience. It is, methodologically, an experimental research. The software learning process happens parallel to the design process. The students have to design a little house, with help of all disciplines of the period. The great advantage of BIM in the design process is that obtaining the details, cuts, plants, etc. occurs from detailed digital model of the building.

summary	Architects trying to promote design decisions to clients are faced with the dilemma of not having definite arguments that would convince clients of taking the right decision. Especially on urban design projects architects are faced with various contradicting wishes of citizens that most of the times is very difficult to justify. The paper exemplifies such a case where the architects had to invent a technique based on the theories of space syntax to help the municipality authorities to evaluate the design of a proposed urban park.

summary	Those who build are gradually, at the moment, subverting the traditional role of the architect. Architecture needs new ways of expressing itself. Architects need new ways of being architects. There are less and less jobs, and those there are are less and less to do with Architecture. In this essay, I am concerned to confront the question of what computers mean for education and professionalism (especially in architecture), and, thus, for us as architects and teachers of computing. The argument is centred in architecture, but its conclusions are, I believe, also more generally tenable.

title	Building Resilience - Using Parametric Modelling and Game Engines to Simulate the Impacts of Secondary Structures in Bushfire Events
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.749
source	Jeroen van Ameijde, Nicole Gardner, Kyung Hoon Hyun, Dan Luo, Urvi Sheth (eds.), POST-CARBON - Proceedings of the 27th CAADRIA Conference, Sydney, 9-15 April 2022, pp. 749-758
summary	Bushfires are a global phenomenon, closely connected to climate change and safety, resilience and sustainability of cities and human settlements. Government agencies, architects and researchers across institutions are committed to improving Australia‚s resilience to bushfires yet grappling with ways to further mitigate risks. ‚Build back better‚ is the often-used phrase to support bushfire resilience, yet there remains a limited understanding of how secondary structures, such as storage sheds, garages, and fences contribute to or mitigate fire loss. These secondary structures are integral to properties yet fall, largely, outside land use planning approval processes and other regulations. Computational modelling can be adapted to deliver visualisations that increase awareness. We developed several simulation approaches which addressed distances, relationship to and the construction materials of secondary structures, terrain slopes and environmental forces. We conclude that gaming engines may offer the optimal immersive opportunity for residents and others to visualise fire risks related to secondary structures to increase awareness and improve bushfire readiness behaviours.

title	Groupware Toolkits for Synchronous Work
source	Beaudouin-Lafon, M. (ed.) Computer - Supported Cooperative Work, Trends in Software Series, John Wiley
summary	Groupware toolkits let developers build applications for synchronous and distributed computer-based conferencing. This chapter describes four components that we believe toolkits must provide. A run-time architecture automatically manages the creation, interconnection, and communications of both centralized and distributed processes that comprise conference sessions. A set of groupware programming abstractions allows developers to control the behaviour of distributed processes, to take action on state changes, and to share relevant data. Groupware widgets let interface features of value to conference participants be added easily to groupware applications. Session managers let people create and manage their meetings and are built by developers to accommodate the group's working style. We illustrate the many ways these components can be designed by drawing on our own experiences with GroupKit, and by reviewing approaches taken by other toolkit developers.
