Abstract: One of the major objectives in computer-aided engineering has been to develop computer-aided support for using standards in design systems. To eliminate most of the problems that occur when the knowledge present in standards ...

Abstract: A standards modeling language is presented. The use of this language enables the complete separation of design systems, standards processors and standards. This paper presents the requirements of a standards modeling ...

Abstract: Within a building design system, such as the SEED system, applicable building codes and standards must be addressed so as to ensure that the synthesized building solution complies with these standards. Because there are ...
