KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION MODEL FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SYNTHESIS

Architectural Design Knowledge Modeling

We have presented an approach for automated knowledge modelling and re-use in design through the development of an algorithm that operates in conjunction with the machine learning technique. The approach presented has the advantage that such automated knowledge modelling system works in conjunction with the problem-solving process as the knowledge representation is in an embedded/distributed st...

Knowledge-based Collaborative Architectural Design

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Knowledge Acquisition Based on Representation (KAR) for Design Model Development

In recent years, knowledge-based systems have become one of the most popular approaches for solving engineering problems. Along with the rising complexity of the problem, knowledge management, acquisition, representation, inferencing, and refinement become increasingly difficult. Conventionally, tasks of knowledge acquisition and representation are accomplished separately and sequentially. Know...

Towards Reusing Architectural Knowledge as Design Guides

In recent years, architectural knowledge management has demonstrated its potential to improve software development and evolution practices; various tools and research prototypes now exist for documenting architectural knowledge. However, capturing such knowledge is not enough: according to practitioners’ feedback, a certain amount of knowledge postprocessing is required to make the captured kno...
