Design Tools That Learn: a Possible Cad Future
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the concept of tools that learn. These are design support tools that acquire problemspecific knowledge as they are used to solve a problem. This knowledge is then reused in the solution of similar problems. The effect of this is that the tool is more efficient. An example is presented to demonstrate the idea.

متن کاملHybrid CAD/E platform supporting exploratory architectural design
Although computers prove useful in aiding human creativity, there is still shortage of adequate software for early-stage explorations in the design disciplines. One of such under-supported disciplines is architectural design. In response to this lack of proper software, architects adopted tools from other industries with a large level of success. However, despite the fact that several types of ...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation for Integrating Design Tools
This paper examines the need to provide a common interface to expert systems, simulation tools and CAD systems for architectural design. We observe that a large amount of information is duplicated in describing buildings to several different tools. We describe a frame based representation for building designs, and an interfacing mechanism to move information between various tools. We also exami...
