INTELLIGENT DESIGN OF VEHICLE PACKAGE USING ONTOLOGY AND CASE-BASED REASONING

摘要

The similarity of varied vehicle package is a critical design feature that affects method selection, optimized design and driver performance. However there is limited understanding of what constitutes similarity in package design and limited computer-based support to identify this feature in a layout model. This paper contributes a case-based framework for representing and reasoning about layout similarity that builds on domain-specific ontological modeling and case-based reasoning techniques. Validation study of the system provides evidence that the framework is general and enables a more efficient package layout design process.
