This paper presents a technique for product configuration modelling based on object-orientation and attribute grammars. The technique allows efficient interactive configurator tool...
Artificial Intelligence has contributed (formal) design models and software support tools to application areas such as architecture, engineering and software design. This paper exp...
We present an ontology of objects, functions, and generic shape representation that supports form-function reasoning. By reasoning from the mechanical and other functions of object...
A scheme, named tower of knowledge (ToK), is proposed for interpreting 3D scenes. The ToK encapsulates causal dependencies between object appearance and functionality. We demonstr...
