Modelling of Engineering Thermal Problems - An Implementation using CBR with Derivational Analogy
نویسندگان
چکیده
An interactive cased based reasoning tool for assisting engineers with the mathematical modelling tasks associated with the analysis of thermal problems is described. By representing fundamental thermal modelling scenarios as cases, complex physical systems are modelled in a piecewise fashion by successive application of matching cases. Retrieval is based on the use of qualitative indices, derivational analogy allows for generative adaption of retrieved cases, thereby providing a basis for validating cases in the context of the problem under consideration. This work represents an alternative perspective to model based reasoning approaches that have been applied to model generation to date.

Knowledge Engineering Requirements in Derivational Analogy
A major advantage in using a case-based approach to developing knowledge-based systems is that it can be applied to problems where a strong domain theory may be difficult to determine. However the development of case-based reasoning (CBR) systems that set out to support a sophisticated case adaptation process does require a strong domain model. The Derivational Analogy (DA) approach to CBR is a...

متن کاملAnalysis and Empirical Studies of Derivational Analogyy
Derivational analogy is a technique for reusing problem solving experience to improve problem solving performance. This research addresses an issue common to all problem solvers that use derivational analogy: overcoming the mismatches between past experiences and new problems that impede reuse. First, this research describes the variety of mismatches that can arise and proposes a new approach t...
متن کاملINTRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SURROGATE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK FOR SOLVING OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS
In this paper, we have outlined the surrogate management framework for optimization of expensive functions. An initial simple iterative method which we call the “Strawman” method illustrates how surrogates can be incorporated into optimization to stand in for the most expensive function. These ideas are made rigorous by incorporating them into the framework of pattern search methods. The SMF al...
