State-Space and Expert System Hybrid Model for Performance Measurement in Design Integration

摘要

The objective of this ongoing research is to improve the communication, cooperation, and coordination that is necessary for design integration by developing a quantifiable performance measurement methodology. The methodology is structured around a hybrid model of state-space representation, fuzzy modeling, and expert systems. Significant progress has been made, thus far, in the development of the state-space measurement model, the fuzzy modeling of performance metrics, and the identification of measurable points in the design process.
