This group organised the academic conference series "Artificial Intelligence in Design (AID)"[1] published by Springer during that period.
AID was later renamed "Design Computing and Cognition (DCC)"[2] and is currently a leading biannual conference in the field.
Whilst these terms share in general an interest in computational technologies and design activity, there are important differences in the various approaches, theories, and applications.
[8] In recent years a number of research and education areas have been grouped under the umbrella term "design computing", namely: The main research groups working in this area span from Faculties of Architecture, Engineering and Computer Science.
Other relevant research groups include: The biannual International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition (DCC) brings together high quality research on this area, as do annual conferences by the Association for Computer Aided Design In Architecture and others.
