Abstract: This paper addresses the critical issue of effectiveness and efficiency in simulation-based optimization using surrogate models as predictive models in engineering design. Specifically, it presents ...

Abstract: This paper presents an optimization ontology and its implementation into a prototype computational knowledge-based tool dubbed ONTOP (ontology for optimization). Salient feature of ONTOP include a ...

Abstract: Focusing on the efforts towards a consistent preference representation in decision based engineering design, this paper presents a learning-based comparison and preference modeling process. Through ...

Abstract: A semantic information model to improve reuse and communication of engineering design knowledge is presented in this paper. We consider design to be a process involving a sequence of decisions ...
