Welcome to the Design Computation Wiki. We are a free semantic framework for design and computation theories, applications and associated technologies. Design Computation is a wiki written collaboratively by expert volunteers. This wiki aims to map the many interconnected domains related to design and computation theories, applications and associated technologies. Any invited collaborator with Internet access can write and make changes to Design Computation articles, except in limited cases where editing is restricted to prevent disruption or vandalism.
We run regular meetings and workshops on a number of topics. Please subscribe to the Meetup Group. One of the ways to explore the wiki is to research the categories.
To participate, please consult the Design Computation Manual of Style for information on formatting pages. Please consult the Mediawiki User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
