Collaborative Design (CD)

CD (Collaborative Design) is a limitedly-rational, cognitively plausible, FORR-inspired architecture for two-dimensional layouts. Its premise is that collaboration among multiple agents can produce aesthetically pleasing, algorithmically economical solutions. Each agent is responsible for the location and manipulation of a class of related objects. Susan L. Epstein
Current Work
CD and FLO have recently been selected as the three-year focus of a GEOIDE project: "Simulation of Memory, Mental Imagery, and Mental Models - Applications to Spatial Planning and Electronic Map Use."
