Is Design Using Analogical Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a framework for using analogical reasoning and generation to automate the process of designing forms and reports. We begin by separating successful cases into different regions, and then storing them in a knowledge base that allows future retrieval based on identity and similarity. The target can be obtained through a three-layered structure matching and analogical reasoning process.

Compound Analogical Design: Interaction between Problem Decomposition and Analogical Transfer in Biologically Inspired Design
Biologically inspired design (BID) can be viewed as an example of analogy-based design. Existing models of analogy-based design do not fully account for the generation of complex solutions in BID, especially those which contain compound solutions. In this paper we develop a conceptual framework of compound analogical design that explains the generation of compound solutions in design through op...
متن کاملThe Meaning of “Near” and “Far”: The Impact of Structuring Design Databases and the Effect of Distance of Analogy on Design Output
This work lends insight into the meaning and impact of “near” and “far” analogies. A cognitive engineering design study is presented that examines the effect of the distance of analogical design stimuli on design solution generation, and places those findings in context of results from the literature. The work ultimately sheds new light on the impact of analogies in the design process and the s...
متن کاملExtraction and Transfer of Biological Analogies for Creative Concept Generation
Biomimetic design, which borrows ideas from nature to solve engineering problems, has been identified as a promising method of concept generation. However, there are still many challenges. Previous research has revealed that novice designers have difficulties in extracting the analogical strategy present in biological phenomena and mapping the strategy even if the strategy is provided. This res...
متن کاملStructural constraints and object similarity in analogical mapping and inference
Theories of analogical reasoning have viewed relational structure as the dominant determinant of analogical mapping and inference, while assigning lesser importance to similarity between individual objects. An experiment is reported in which these two sources of constraints on analogy are placed in competition under conditions of high relational complexity. Results demonstrate equal importance ...
متن کاملAnalogical Matching Using Device-Centric and Environment-Centric Representations of Function
Design is hard and needs to be supported by software. One of the ways software can support designers is by providing analogical reasoning. To make analogical reasoning work well, the software makers need to know how to create a knowledge representation that will facilitate the kind of analogies that the designers want. This thesis will inform software makers by experimenting with two kinds of k...
