I am in need of information about one topic and a subtopic.
I am compiling a list of AI systems used in the design phase of:
- products
- materials
- costs
- scheduling
- etc.
My focus is on the first two, but any and all are welcome. I am
looking for AI systems in CAD and in Pre-CAD design. Typical
intelligent CAD systems I am interested in assist in:
- Saving integrity between drawings - products with multiple
drawings are structured to recognize a change in one drawing
and pass it to other associated drawings.
- Management systems in CAD for information, integrity, design
experience representation, etc.
- Encapsulation of designer experience into KB's
- Uses of OOP, frames, etc.
- Application of situational reasoning
- Hardware implementations
- etc.
The second topic deals with developing knowledge bases of designer
experience, techniques, rules in the design phase. I am interested in the
representational techniques, elicitation techniques, etc. that have been used
to encapsulate the design experience associated with:
- A part
- A specific domain
- An entire system
- A manufacturing line
- Etc.
I would appreciate any information on these two areas and associated
topics of Design automation and AI.
Thank you in advance
