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 knowledge base, the method comprising:
extracting a first text segment from a corpora that describe one or more systems; applying a set of syntactic parsing rules to the first text segment to generate a first parsed text segment; and generating, based on the first parsed text segment, a first knowledge model element that indicates a first relationship between a first plurality of components of a first system.
