[comp.ai] Seminar at Dept of AI, Edinburgh University on 17th April

tw@aipna.ed.ac.uk (Toby Walsh) (04/12/91)

Departmental Seminar at 2pm, 17th April in F10, 80 South Bridge.

                         Ken MacCullam, 
                    CAD Centre, Strathclyde, 
               "Design Configuration Management"

Configuration is generally viewed as a task which involves the assembly
of components in different ways to meet a variety of requirements and
according to a set of constraints.

Most computer based systems for configuration are "once-through"
generation systems.  However in the context of engineering design
where exploration of different concepts takes place, there is a
requirement to "manage" configurations dynamically through the
product life-cycle.

This presentation will describe the results of an investigation into
a design configuration management system using non-monotonic
decision graphs, and the application of the system to large-scale
power generation systems design.
