Automated Redesign with the General Redesign Engine

چکیده
Given a system design (SD), a key task is to optimize this design to reduce the probability of catastrophic failures. We consider the task of redesigning an SD to minimize the probability of particular faults by introducing components selected from a component library. We have implemented a General Redesign Engine (GRE), which uses model-based reasoning techniques and Boolean functional synthesis from component libraries, to automate redesign for combinational circuits. For a significant subset of observations leading to catastrophic (forbidden) modes we demonstrate that GRE trades off redesign cost for increased fault tolerance, and shows a significant advantage compared to the Triple-Modular Redundancy (TMR) method. Our algorithm has a wide application in AI, including automated software and hardware design, error detection, reconfiguration and recovery, and modular robotics.

Thermoelastic Analysis of Compressor Spool in Turbojet Engine and Redesign it Using Functionally Graded Materials with Opti-mal Coefficients
In this article, an exact analysis of compressors spool in a turbojet engine has been investigated. The spool is modeled as a rotating thick-walled hollow circular cylinder with free-clamp ends. It is subjected to centrifugal load due to its constant rotational speed, uniform internal and external radial loads and arbitrary thermal gradients. The analysis is initially investigated for the homog...
متن کاملTowards Redesign based on Ontologies of Functional Concepts and Redesign Strategies
This research aims at developing a redesign problem solver which proposes suitable modifications of a given artifact for a new requirement or an inconvenience. We concentrate on the two issues, capturing design rationales of the given artifact and organizing general redesign strategies. For the former issue, we propose an ontology of functional concepts, which enables the redesign system to ide...

Managing income is a considerable dimension in supply chain management in current economic atmosphere. Real world situation makes it inevitable not to design or redesign supply chain. Redesign will take place as costs increase or new services for customers’ new demands should be provided. Pricing is an important fragment of Supply chain due to two reasons: first, represents revenue based ...
متن کاملExperimental Assessment of a Process-Workflow Redesign Agent
Today, a second generation of computer-based reengineering tools employ knowledge systems technology to automate and support key, intellectual activities required for effective process-workflow redesign. But a central question remains as to the effectiveness of redesign through such knowledge systems. The research described in this paper is focused on testing the effectiveness of knowledge-base...
متن کاملA Dissipative Integral Sliding Mode Control Redesign Method
This paper develops a new method of integral sliding mode control redesign for a class of perturbed nonlinear dissipative switched systems by modifying the dissipativity-based control law that was designed for the unperturbed systems. The nominal model is considered affine with matched and unmatched perturbations. The redesigned control law includes an integral sliding-based control signal such...
