The design of complex engineered systems highly relies on a laborious zigzagging between computer-aided (CAD) software and rules prescribed by manuals. Despite the emergence knowledge management techniques (ontology, expert system, text mining, etc.), companies continue to store in large unstructured documents. To facilitate integration CAD software, we propose graph that structures set computa...

Abstract In engineering and architecture, different approaches have been developed that share the use of graph transformation to automate design processes or search for solutions by means computational synthesis. order give an overview these approaches, we provide a review articles published in last decade. Forty-eight were reviewed determine similarities differences approaches. Research fields...

A colouring of a strongly regular graph is an allocation of colours (or treatments) to the vertices of the graph. Such a colouring is balanced if every pair of distinct colours occurs equally often on the ends of an edge. When the graph is the complete regular multipartite graph a balanced colouring is just a balanced incomplete-block design, or 2-design. Some constructions are given. For examp...
