AbstractSince the end of the 1990s, there has been an increasing interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) planning techniques to solve real-life problems. In addition to characteristics of academic problems, such as the need to reason about actions, real-life problems require detailed knowledge elicitation, engineering, and management. A systematic design process in which Knowledge and Requirements Engineering tools play a fundamental role is necessary in such applications. One of the main challenges in such design process, and consequently in the study of Knowledge Engineering in AI planning, has been the analysis of requirements and their subsequent transformation into an input-ready model for planners. itSIMPLE is a research project dedicated to the study of a project process to support the design phases of real-life planning models. In this paper, we give an overview of itSIMPLE focusing on the main translation processes among a minimal set of representations: from requirements represented in Unified Modeling Language (UML) to Petri Nets and from UML models to planning domain definition language for problem solving.

AbstractPlanning, scheduling and constraint satisfaction are important areas in artificial intelligence (AI) with broad practical applicability. Many real-world problems can be formulated as AI planning and scheduling (P&S) problems, where resources must be allocated to optimize overall performance objectives. Frequently, solving these problems requires an adequate mixture of planning, scheduling and resource allocation to competing goal activities over time in the presence of complex state-dependent constraints. Constraint satisfaction plays an important role in solving such real-life problems, and integrated techniques that manage P&S with constraint satisfaction are particularly useful. Knowledge engineering supports the solution of such problems by providing adequate modelling techniques and knowledge extraction techniques for improving the performance of planners and schedulers. Briefly speaking, knowledge engineering tools serve as a bridge between the real world and P&S systems.

Holistic Research

The objective of this chapter is to identify the role of BIMs in the architectural design process from the practitioners’ point of view. The chapter investigates the main factors affecting the practitioners’ use of BIM, and how BIM impacts their work and interactions. The chapter presents a holistic research approach as well as the findings from its application in four real-life projects. In these projects, much of the practitioners’ focus was on upgrading skills and improving technology. Nevertheless, a number of their challenges were linked to the nature of the architectural design process, particularly to its “hardto- grasp” iterative and intuitive features. A conclusion of this research indicates that the role of BIM is affected by the many interdependencies, relations and interfaces embedded in the highly complex and partly unpredictable real world practice. A future challenge would be to understand, master and balance these relationships - upstream and downstream across multiple levels, processes and activities. The presented holistic research approach and the related findings contributed to research which aimed to embrace the complexity of real-life problems and gain a more comprehensive understanding of what is happening in practice.

Today there is a new emphasis on a discipline related to knowledge engineering (KE): knowledge management (KM). The chapter shows that a Delphi methodology, developed and used with real success from 1986 through 2003, can be revised and up-dated to take a place in the spectrum of KE/KM. This new model combines elements of a Pareto technique at the front end of an small group Delphi paradigm/estimate-talk-estimate (SGDP/ETE) process to initially identify and sharpen the criticality of problems and their solutions. The final stage of the model uses real time Delphi (RTD) techniques. As a result, the final paradigm uses today's technology to achieve extremely accurate decision making and indicate what can be successful courses of action across many venues. Examples will be given of how this new model could be applied to current, real-life problems in three very different arenas.

One of the more visible tasks when designing a turbocharger is the optimized design for a compressor and a turbine. The ultimate measure of a successful turbocharger design, however, is how well it works with a specific engine at various operating conditions. Final design decisions must be based on the engine-turbocharger system as a whole, rather than only on the individual component performance. This paper describes the effort to develop an integrated design system which allows the user to design and optimize a turbocharger on a system level. With the basic engine parameters specified, along with simple models for other commonly used components, such as the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), wastegate, and intercooler, the program may be linked to two powerful meanline programs that can handle the fast iterations of the design and analysis of a compressor and a turbine. The output is either a new compressor or turbine that best matches the operation of the engine or the performance of an existing turbocharger at a specific engine operating condition. A case study is presented where the program is applied in a real-life design situation to fit a new turbocharger for a large locomotive 18-cylinder diesel engine. The tool is extensively used in guiding the selection of the turbocharger and in the simulation of the overall system performance. The test data from the new design show close agreement with the simulation results, as well as an improvement over the original design.
