Introduction to DDSS

Welcome to the web site of the International Research School

DDSS is an International Research School: a collaboration between the universities shown on the left. From these universities, research groups are represented in DDSS that are active in areas such as Computer Aided Design, Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Representation, etc., in the context of architecture and/or urban design and planning.

The research school aims to bring together the researchers, lecturers, and students from these groups in order to exchange experiences, share knowledge, and collaborate in projects and courses.

The main objective of the DDSS research school is twofold, namely:

1. To develop innovative and improve existing (components of) Design and Decision Support Systems for applications in architecture, building and urban planning; and
2. To play an active role in the dissemination of such progress to architectural, building and planning practice.
