Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO) MDO (Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation) is a methodology for the design of complex engineering systems that are governed by mutually interacting physical phenomena and made up of distinct interacting subsystems. These engineering systems are characterised by complex objective function formulations, where the individual constraints can be evaluated by different engineering teams. In the past few years, this new discipline has been recognised as an important tool to support the research and development area. Although the roots of MDO are being attributed to the field of structures in aircraft design, MDO technology has also expanded into several fields such as civil, chemical, mechanical and electrical engineering, operations research, materials science, etc.Workshop Goal To provide research and development engineering analysis community insight on methodology, process and problem formulation in MDO. It will also highlight some project realisations based on this new design optimisation approach. Specific Workshop Objectives
Workshop Organizers
Who Should Attend Engineers in all fields of activity, research and development scientists or engineers who are responsible of developing advanced analysis design tools or new products. Submission of papers Authors who wish to submit to the workshop should send either PostScript or PDF versions of their paper by email to the workshop organizers (see above), or else provide a URL for an online version of the paper. Hardcopy submission is discouraged. Submissions should be no more than 5000 words length. The first page of each submission should list the full contact details (including full name, postal address, email address, phone and fax number) of at least one author. Publication Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of CSCWD 2001 (CD-ROM version: ISBN: 0-660-18379-X). Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit revised and expanded versions of their papers to be considered for publication in a special issue of Computers in Industry on CSCW in Design and a special section in an issue of Communications of the ACM.
