Representing and Aggregating Engineering Quantities with Preference Structure for Set-based Concurrent Engineering

摘要: The early phase of design intrinsically contains multiple sources uncertainties in describing the design, and nevertheless decision-making process at this exerts a critical effect upon drawing successful design. Recently, set-based concurrent engineering (SBCE) has been attracting public attention as an emerging CE paradigm. Representing communicating set-valued information are useful handling efficient for collaboration between designers environment. Even if we can readily know that SBCE is powerful enough large-scale management, existing literature does not give details methods to achieve principles. We have developed computer-based framework, called ‘preference design’ (PSD), implementing principles, which consists set representation, propagation, modification, narrowing, aggregation methods. This article focuses on representation tha...
