Engineering modelling. A contribution to the CommonKADS library

Abstract

Generic knowledge components and models for the task of in particular engineering modelling are presented.It is intended as a contribution to the CommonKADS library. In the first chapter an executive summary is provided. Next, the Conceptual Modelling Language (CML) definitions of the various generic library components are given. In the following two chapters the underlying theory is developed. First, a task-oriented analysis is made, based upon the similarities between modelling and design tasks. Second, an ontological analysis is given, which shows that ontology differentiation constitutes an important problem-solving method (PSM) for engineering modelling, on a par with task-decomposition PSMs. Finally, three different modelling applications, based on existing knowledgeable systems, are analyzed, which analysis illustrates and provides data points for the discussed generic components and models for modelling. 50 figs., 77 refs.
