Abstract: Design can be viewed as a sequential and iterative search process. Fundamental understanding and computational modeling of human sequential design decisions are essential for developing new methods in design automation and ...

Abstract: Effective coordination of design teams must account for the influence of costs incurred while searching for the best design solutions. This article introduces a cost-aware multi-agent system (MAS), a theoretical model to ...

Abstract: Intelligent systems have been rapidly evolving and play a pivotal role in assisting individuals across diverse domains, from healthcare to transportation. Understanding the dynamics of human–artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Abstract: We compare the performance of human players against that of the efficient global optimization (EGO) algorithm for an NPcomplete powertrain design and control problem. Specifically, we cast this optimization problem as an ...

Abstract: Effective electrification of automotive vehicles requires designing the powertrain's configuration along with sizing its components for a particular vehicle type. Employing planetary gear (PG) systems in hybrid electric ...

Abstract: Existing hybrid powertrain architectures, i.e., the connections from engine and motors to the vehicle output shaft, are designed for particular vehicle applications, e.g., passenger cars or city buses, to achieve good fuel ...

Abstract: Manufacturers must decide when to invest and launch a new vehicle segment or how to redesign vehicles existing segment under market uncertainties. We present an optimization framework for redesigning or investing in future ...
