This paper presents an extended object model for case-based reasoning in product configuration design. In the extended object model a few of methods of knowledge expression are adopted such as constraints, rules, objects etc. On the basis of extended object model, case representation model for case-based reasoning is applied to product configuration design system. The product configuration knowledge can be represented by the extended object. The model can support all the processes of case-based reasoning in product configuration design such as case representation, indexing, retrieving and case revising. The model extends traditional object-oriented model by including the relationship class used to express the relation between the cases, constraints class used in the product configuration knowledge representation, index class used in case retrieving, solution class used in case revise. So the product configuration knowledge that used in the product configuration design can be represented by using this model. In the end a Metering pump product configuration design systems is developed on the basis of the proposed product configuration model to support customized products.

The interface was regarded as standard and not considered in traditional configuration design, which made it difficult to apply to the existence product configuration. The paper proposes an extension case-based reasoning for product configuration design. With matter-elements, reasoning model of Extension Case-Based Reasoning (ECBR) is established, and its corresponding algorithm is proposed. During the configuration design, the solution space of configuration schemes is obtained by the similarity calculation, and then the overall evaluation of similarity and compatible degrees is adopted to form the final configuration scheme. A prototype system of reducer configuration design is successfully developed according to the method, and it proves the proposed method that is feasible and effective.

The frequent use of past experience by human engineers when solving new problems has led to an interest in the use of case based reasoning (CBR) to help automate engineering design. In engineering design it often occurs that many past exp eriences must be combined to solve a new problem, and thus the process of case based adaptation must efficiently and systematically combine information from many sources. We have developed a constraint based methodology for case combination that allows its application across a wide range of problems. We have shown that our approach provides an efficient adaptation methodology that ensures convergence upon a solution if one exists, provides a uniform representation of cases, and is generalizable beyond just one domain. Our technique is implemented in a case based reasoning system called COMPOSER, which ha s been tested in two design domains: assembly sequence design and configuration design.

This study aimed to design a software reuse system by case-based reasoning (CBR) in order to reuse object models in system analysis. We developed a system including the methods and procedures for reusing object models, and also proposed how to express the cases of object models by CBR. Moreover, this expressed the rules for retrieving, reusing and modifying object models in accordance with the new problems. Furthermore, this study confirmed its adequacy through applying the system for reusing object models to the real-world business cases; and verified the assumed hypotheses that are related to this system.

The technology of product configuration in a Product Data Management (PDM) system was discussed in this paper. The paper presented the product configuration modeling technology by based on the ‘and/or’ tree of product configuration, the process relation and coupling relation between components, and then, a general model of the product configuration scheme was proposed. The product configuration algorithm based on the product configuration scheme was also introduced and the feasibility from the theory model to the program was proved. The paper also discussed the application of Case-Based Reasoning(CBR) technology in product configuration, and, the emphasis was given towards the similar component search by the Nearest Neighbor(N-N) method. Finally, the product configuration technology was implemented on hydro-generator design process, and the result indicated this technology was valuable to realize intelligentization and automation of product configuration.

Product configuration technology is the core of the modular design of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools. Combined with modular design technology and case-based reasoning (CBR) technology, this paper proposed a modular configuration design method based on CBR for CNC machine tools. Using the fuzzy similarity priority ratio and gray correlation analysis algorithm, respectively, the calculation of case priority and the case evaluation are realized and the best match case of the user needs is selected. The module configuration system was developed using MATLAB/gui. By designing the example and analyzing the result, the configuration system is more rapid and accurate than conventional methods in the process to find the best match instance.
