A Case-based Reasoning Framework in Value Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
Value Engineering (VE) is the title given to a set of value techniques applied during the design or ‘engineering’ phases of a construction project that has its origins in the US manufacturing industry. Currently, value engineers attempt to infer design rationale information from drawings and specifications for carrying out the value engineering analysis. Access to design rationales can help value engineers in different ways. Case-based reasoning is a technology for problem solving based on recall and reuse of specific experiences. Case-based reasoning offers techniques for representing and managing complex design rationale cases, augmenting a set of specific design experiences with generalized knowledge and formalizing a typically informal body of knowledge. Agent-based systems technology offers modularity and techniques for handling human-agent interaction, managing and searching information. This paper describes the utility of design rationales in value engineering. It examines the combination of case-based reasoning and agent-based technology to support value engineering analysis. Finally, it proposes a case-based framework in value engineering during design phase.

متن کاملImproving Agent Performance for Multi-Resource Negotiation Using Learning Automata and Case-Based Reasoning
In electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. In order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. In multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. In recent ...

Imagine you have traveled to an unfamiliar city. Before you start your daily tour around the city, you need to know a good route. In Network Theory (NT), this is the traveling salesman problem (TSP). A dynamic programming algorithm is often used for solving this problem. However, when the road network of the city is very complicated and dense, which is usually the case, it will take too long fo...
