DESCRIPTION:
With its clear presentation of the main ideas of recent AI-based models of design, set within the context of inductive design models, the book offers an integrated view of current thinking about design. Also included is a brief review of some key AI-based problem-solving methods and classical design tools. It is both a creative process not easily defined and a thought process that can, with increasing success, be externalized, articulated, and modeled. This book aims to clarify the issues, providing an operational definition of engineering design and an explication of design as a discipline. In particular, the book focuses on the contribution of AI (artificial intelligence) to engineering design. The author closes with a look ahead at the roles that symbolic representation and knowledge-based (expert) systems can play in engineering design in practice and in education.. Design is a central activity in engineering
This places engineering design in a research context that has long been lacking. Dym not only provides basic insights about design, but also points the way to future work that will surely impact the design process." George Stiny, UCLA"Dym has done an excellent job of describing the design process, both the psychological processes of the designer and the interaction between the human designer and the design tools that are now available and becoming available to assist (or collaborate) in the task. "Clive Dym combines ideas and methods from engineering design and artificial intelligence to demonstrate persuasively that design in its full creative sense can be approached computationally with important practical consequence. The book is a valuable contribution to the design literature and should be of great use as a solid introduction to the field." - Herbert A. Also appreciated was the helpful index of topics, names, and people mentioned in the book." Max
It's very good for me Kenan Ok I have received it on time. It's very good for me.. A book about artificial intelligence applied to design This is not strictly a book about engineering or design, but about how to represent in artificial intelligence programs (AI) the information associated with engineering designs. The representation is geared to producing or checking designs, using AI techniques.The book has a usable bibliographic reference and should be of interest to the AI specialist working in the area. It does have some summary information about eng
