Exploring The Design Potential Of Evolutionary / Adaptive Search And Other Computational Intelligence Technologies

  • Conference paper
Adaptive Computing in Design and Manufacture

Abstract

The paper investigates the integration of evolutionary and adaptive search (ES&AS) strategies with the various stages of the design process (ie conceptual, embodiment and detailed design). The paper primarily attempts to identify the manner in which relevant co-operative ES & AS strategies and related computational intelligence (CI) technologies can provide both a foundation and a framework for design activity that will satisfy the search and information requirements of the engineer throughout the design process whilst also taking into account the many criteria related to manufacturing aspects. Such strategies can support a range-of activities from concept exploration and decision support to final product definition, optimisation and realisation and therefore contribute significantly to design concurrency and integrated product development The objective is to identify overall frameworks to support the various CI technologies in a manner that will ensure their successful integration with design team practice.
