Towards Redesign based on Ontologies of Functional Concepts and Redesign Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 identify functional structures representing a part of design rationales automatically. It particularly includes a new category of functional concepts called meta-functions for representation of dependency among functions of components. For the latter issue, we describe an ontology of the redesign strategies. Some general strategies for proposing redesign solutions in terms of the concepts in the ontology are shown. It reveals conceptualization behind the redesign strategies and then helps us specialize the Soar architecture into a universal redesign engine.

Benders decomposition for Supply Chain Network Redesign with Capacity planning and Multi-Period Pricing
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 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...

A more sophisticated understanding of the unpredictable, disorderly and unstable aspects of healthcare organisations is developing in the knowledge translation (KT) literature. In an article published in this journal, Kitson et al introduced a new model for KT in healthcare based on complexity theory. The Knowledge Translation Complexity Network Model (KTCNM) provides a fresh perspective by mak...

Background and aims: In manual assembly industries, productivity could increase by scientific study, correct and accurate identification of activities and the time required for implementing each activity - with respect to the health, safety and human wellbeing. Although the positive effect of engineering interventions on the efficiency of production is evident, but its impact on the productivit...
متن کاملTowards Modeling Design Rational of Supplementary Functions in Conceptual Design
The importance of sharing designer’s intention (socalled design rationale, DR) is widely recognized. This paper focuses on modeling DR of supplementary functions which prevent undesirable states of a required function (e.g., malfunctions). Although they do not essentially contribute to the achievement of the required function, they play an important role in design and design improvement of arti...
