Guest Editors: L.H. Shu & Ashok K. Goel

This special issue of AIEDAM will be devoted to papers concerned with Analogical Thinking.

Analogical thinking involves the use of analogies for a variety of tasks such as

1) Generating novel concepts (design-by-analogy) and
2) Helping explain existing and new concepts

We welcome papers that report the study of analogies (and metaphors) not only in design, but more generally in engineering, analysis, manufacturing, as well as design education. We welcome work describing cognitive studies, computational theories and interactive tools.

One challenge in analogical thinking is that researchers mean different things by the term “analogy”, e.g., featural, conceptual and relational similarity. Therefore, we ask that authors clearly characterize what they mean by analogy in their work.
Suitable topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

· Sources of analogy/metaphor in design/education
· Identifying analogies/metaphors
· Representing/communicating analogies/metaphors
· Applying analogies/metaphors
· Types of analogies/metaphors selected/formed
· Effectiveness in and of using analogies/metaphors

All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by at least three reviewers. The selection for publication will be made on the basis of these reviews.
Information about the format and style required for AIEDAM papers can be found at http://aiedam.usc.edu/index.php/Authors/ForAuthors. Note that all inquiries for special issues go to the Guest Editors.

I'm a design methodologist and Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada. Adjectives that describe me include: secular humanist, meritocrat, and long-winded. Some people call me a positivist too, as if that were a bad thing. Go figure.
