A design expert system for the ship structural design is developed to support inexperienced designers. To establish the knowledge-base, an expert system development shell, Nexpert, is used. Knowledge is extracted from the rules of a classification society of ships, and also from an existing ship structural program that is being used by ship designers. This knowledge is systematized using the objectoriented concept. The design support system is constructed by adding additional functions which are required for the conventional engineering design work. Added functions are; calculation of longitudinal strength, database of existing ship designs, graphical user interface, and visualization of design results. It is observed that visualizing the relationships among the rules, which are activated to draw a certain design decision, is helpful. The system can easily be updated according to changes of the rule books of ship classification societies.

Meeting electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements can be a significant challenge for engineers designing today's electronic devices. Traditional approaches rely heavily on EMC design rules. Unfortunately, these design rules aren't based on the specific EMC requirements for a particular device, and they don't usually take into account the specific function of the circuits or the many design details that will ultimately determine whether the device is compliant. This paper describes a design methodology that relates design decisions to the product's EMC requirements. The goal of performance-based EMC design is to ensure that electronic designs meet EMC requirements the first time the product is tested. More work needs to be done before this concept reaches its full potential, but electronic system designers can already derive significant benefit by applying this approach to products currently under development.

The purpose of this paper is to develop formal design principles towards flexible house plan. A flexible house plan accomodates spatial requirements corresponding to change of life style and provides a way of saving architectural materials. Design properties as a basis for manipulation of room includes adjacency, orientation and geometrical information which are suited well to flexible design. This paper has developed a formal grammar of shape which can be utilized to transform house plan. Flexible design presented here is based on the idea of various operations of the shape grammar. The shape grammar, as a set of rules, specifies manipulations of shapes for reorganization of spatial relationships of rooms in a house plan. It lists exemplary rules in control knowledge which guides design processes for modifying a plan. An example taken from house plan design is used to ilustrate important aspects of the flexible design which fundamentally provides the basis for architectural material saving.

The lead frame manufactured by press stamping process, is an important part of semiconductor. The recent technical trend of semiconductor, chip sized and high performance package technology, requires the lead frame to be of more multi-leads and of fine ILP (Inner Lead Pitch). As the ILP is getting finer, its corresponding punch of the stamping die is getting narrower. The punch narrower than its stamping limit has been broken due to local buckling. This paper analyzed the phenomena of punch breakdown. Moreover, the punch design was modified to increase the critical limit of buckling force. This paper, also, suggested new design rules of the punch, which asks the modification of its lead frame design that has to be considered in the stage of semiconductor package design. The new design rules of lead frame design yields a good reliability of semiconductor package as well as a good quality of lead frame.

With the advances in concurrent engineering, schedulability has become an important design issue in machine loading and routing procedure. In this paper, four rules to improve schedulability of loading and routing are formulated as a mixed-integer programming model based on machine, routing and tool flexibilities. In this model, these rules are represented as an objective function or constraints. The impact of rules on the quality of schedules for the result of loading and routing is measured with makespan, throughput and average machine utilization.

Discovery of association rules has been used useful in many fields, especially in the fields of the inventory display, catalog design and cross selling. In previous works, all transactions In the database are treated uniformly. In this paper, we present a method for partitioning transactions in the database using time weights. Transactions are assigned different weights as time goes on. Examples show that these method provides purchasing patterns in the database as well as finding association rules.

For the design of multivariable fuzzy control systems decomposition of control rules is a efficent inference method since it alleviates the complexity of the problem. In some systems, however, inference error of the Gupta's decomposition method is inevitable because of its approximate nature. In this paper we define indices of applicability which decides whether the decomposition method can be applied to a multivariable fuzzy system or not.

The important problem in designing a Fuzzy Logic Controller(FLC) is generation of fuzzy control rules and it is usually the case that they are given by human experts of the problem domain. However, it is difficult to find an well-trained expert to any given problem. In this paper, I describes an application of genetic algorithm, a well-known global search algorithm to automatic generation of fuzzy control rules for FLC design. Fuzzy rules are automatically generated by evolving initially given fuzzy rules and membership functions associated fuzzy linguistic terms. Using genetic algorithm efficient fuzzy rules can be generated without any prior knowledge about the domain problem. In addition expert knowledge can be easily incorporated into rule generation for performance enhancement. We experimented genetic algorithm with a non-trivial vehicle controling problem. Our experimental results showed that genetic algorithm is efficient for designing any complex control system and the resulting system is robust.

This paper describes the settlement rules in the basic market design for Korean Wholesale Electricity Market. The settlement rules are to be exercised after the Bid and Offer Processes as described in the pool rules(within the market rules) and to determine the payments to Generators, charges to Energy Purchasers and charges or payments to the Transmission Asset Owner(TAO).

The application of genetic algorithms to fuzzy rule generation holds a great deal of promise in overcoming difficult problems in fuzzy systems design. There are some aspects to be considered when genetic algorithms are used for generating fuzzy rules. In this paper, we will present an aspect about the control surface constructed by the resultant rules. In the extensive simulations, an important observation that the rules searched by genetic algorithms are randomly scattered is made and a solution to this problem is provided by including a smoothness cost in the objective function. We apply the fuzzy rules generated by genetic algorithms to the fuzzy truck backer-upper control system and compare them with the rules made by an expert.
