Model for an Integrated Design Evaluation System using Knowledge Bases (1986)
article⁄Model for an Integrated Design Evaluation System using Knowledge Bases (1986)
abstract⁄Computeraided architectural design CAAD systems need to be integrated so that one unified system can generate and do various analysis and evaluation of building models. A data system can not solve this problem because all design concepts can not be stored in the database before the design is completed. As design stage proceeds, design concept and necessary information for analysis and evaluation become complex and detailed. In order to accommodate increasing entities and new relationships between them, knowledgebased systems are integrated into the database of building models. frame structure and production rules are adopted to represent knowledge about the database, and to represent evaluation rules respectively. The system is implemented in Prolog on an Apollo workstation.
