About the Book

This monograph provides a linguistic framework in which to describe an information model of design objects and processes in a discrete manufacturing environment. The author gives a theoretical and practical foundation for the model by means of a technical and philosophical analysis of past and current methods. The book features a comprehensive list of CAD database requirements, use of the full capacity of first order predicate logic, formalization of design requirements as a schema or formal theory and definition of the realization as an extensional database or interpretation, the dynamic process of design conceived as a series of evolving interpretations of a given formal theory. The key novelty in the book is the definition of a formal language for describing both the static and dynamic aspects of design within the setting of first order predicate logic. The book provides a theoretically well founded and practically powerful conceptual basis on which a wide range of CAD systems can be developed in a methodical way. This monograph on computer science, mechanical engineering, in particular CAD/CAM, knowledge engineering and artificial intelligence is intended for graduate students, researchers, software development engineers and designers in mechanical engineering.
