Methodology of Intelligent Computer-Aided Design and its Applications to DC/AC Electronics

该工程启动奖的主要目标是 开发一种通用的方法，通过该方法， 特定的应用可以由计算机自主地生成 基于基本原理、专家知识和实际 绩效评价标准 这背后的假设是 研究表明，设计过程的某些方面可以重新设计， 变成一个高效、系统、自动化的搜索过程。的 基本的机制是所提出的THINK-SEEK-DESIGINE方案。 到 实现这一目标需要一个专家系统， 是为了测试这个方法 专家设计领域 系统将是DC/AC电子电路。 所提出的设计 系统具有产生创新设计的潜力， 与人类的直觉相反。 这一方法还将使 开发需要多个领域知识的设计 并将允许对新技术进行评估。 的 方法也可以扩展到创新的发展 分析技术。

The primary objective of this Engineering Initiation Award is to develop a general methodology by which an optimized design for a particular application can be generated autonomously by a computer based on basic principles, experts' knowledge, and practical performance evaluation criteria. The underlying hypothesis of this research is that some aspects of the design process can be recast into an efficient, systematic, and automated search process. The basic mechanism is the proposed THINK-SEEK-EXAMINE scheme. To accomplish this objective requires that an expert system be developed to test the methodology. The domain of the expert design system will be DC/AC electronic circuits. The proposed design systems has the potential to produce innovative designs that may be contrary to human intuition. This methodology will also enable the development of designs that require knowledge in more than one field and will allow for the evaluation of new technologies. The methodology may also be extended for the development of innovative analytical techniques.
