Commitment engineering: conceptual engineering without representations

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract It is largely assumed that conceptual engineering essentially about revising, introducing, or eliminating representational devices, in particular the intension and extension of words concepts. However, tying too closely to representations risky. Not everyone endorses notion representation as theoretically helpful even real. thinks concepts meanings should be understood terms representation. Does this mean not interesting relevant for these skeptics? In paper, I motivate propose a non-representationalist construal engineering. argue engineers can primarily linguistic entitlements commitments rather than devices. Note account non-representationalist, but explicitly anti-representationalist. Representations may play significant role when it comes justifying completing commitment projects.

Genetic engineering of handwriting representations

This paper presents experiments with genetically engineered feature sets for recognition of on-line handwritten characters. These representations stem from a nondescript decomposition of the character frame into a set of rectangular regions, possibly overlapping, each represented by a vector of 7 fuzzy variables. Efficient new feature sets are automatically discovered using genetic programming ...

Generative Representations in Structural Engineering

This paper proposes a new approach to representing structural system inspired by various models of complex systems. Several types of generative representations of steel structural systems are provided and empirically investigated. These representations utilize various kinds of cellular automata to generate design concepts of steel structures in tall buildings. In the paper, a brief overview of ...

ESCAPE Meta Modeling in Software Engineering: When Premature Commitment is Useful in Representations

This paper introduces, and provides a cognitive basis for, a prototype meta-modeling process called ESCAPE. This process involves users Explicitly Stating their own model of an entity of interest, CAPturing an alternative or correct model of that entity and consequently re-Evaluating their own model. The paper shows the model’s implicit, but already well established, use in the software enginee...

The flange climb derailment is one of the cause of derailment for a typical switch. The derailment for the switch is a complex phenomenon since the contact area is changing dynamically. The contact angle between the wheel flange and the switch point is investegated in terms of the risk on the derailment. The contribution of this study is proving that UIC716R standard recommendation about the sw...
