Some of the issues in the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering Design

The Designer Model, a model based on the design methodology of a human designer, is examined to identify in detail the role of the Systems Design View Point (SDVP) in the solution of a design problem. The SDVP reflects complexity of a multidomain design problem due to coupling of domains, and introduces iteration or the element of search in solving the design problem. It is, thus, possible to use an appropriate performance index to direct the search techniques which are available in Artificial Intelligence in implementing the design solution.
