The aim of the workshop is to discuss various cutting edge design exploration techniques for practical design problems through invited lectures from the machine learning and aerospace disciplines. The workshop is mainly focused on how machine learning methods can be used for aerospace applications, which generally contain multi-objective and multi-disciplinary features.

Workshop Topics:

1. Multi-Objective Design Optimisation
2. Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimisation
3. Robust Design
4. Data Mining
5. Data Fusion

Finally, the workshop aims to encourage researchers to apply their techniques and methods to the presented problems and to encourage continued research into similar problems from the field.
