The task of a high-level behavioural synthesis system is to create a structure to implement a given abstract specification of behaviour. The behaviour is specified at the algorithmic level, typically in the form of a high-level programming language. The synthesized structure is described at the register-transfer level. In such systems the synthesis task is guided only by the behaviour and some ...

The purpose of this position paper is to introduce the prototype of a design product knowledge representing system which is theoretically guided by our recent work on extending Function-Behaviour-Structure ontology. The basic constructions and data-storing strategies are presented in the paper along with its major interface, thus to give an outline of the working pattern of this system.

The majority of structural components and parts operate under complex stress conditions. Investigations into the behaviour of the magnetic characteristics of engineering materials under the action elastic and plastic strains provides a basis for monitoring loaded structural components.
