An Application of CBR in Design System Generation

摘要: In this paper we are concerned with generating parametric design systems based on cases from existing design systems. Issues that distinguish this particular application of CBR in design from those commonly seen are highlighted. In summary: we are trying to reuse past knowledge of the design process rather than design results; Adaptation could be non-trivial and crucial to accomplishing this goal; The reuse is carried on in a decomposition hierarchy with subcase reassembly involved; Various other kinds of knowledge such as design object and decomposition knowledge play an important part throughout each stage of the CBR process.
