SYSTEM-LEVEL APPROACH TO GOAL-DRIVEN DESIGN

摘要

A design application is configured to perform a system-level optimization of a collection of system components. The design application iteratively executes a multi-objective solver to optimize structural and functional relationships between the system components in order to meet global design criteria and generate a system design. The design application initializes the design process by extracting from a knowledge base system templates having taxonomic, structural, or functional attributes relevant to the system design. The design application generates the knowledge base by mining taxonomic, structural, and functional relationships from a corpus of engineering texts.

1. A computer-implemented method for generating a system design, the method comprising:
parsing system criteria to extract a first attribute of the system design, wherein the first attribute has a first type; searching a knowledge base of data to identify a first model that includes one or more attributes having the first type; extracting, from the knowledge base, a first system template associated with the first model to include in a set of system templates; and causing the system design to be generated based on the set of system templates.
