A Methodology of Collaborative Synthesis by Artificial Intelligence

This project aims at establishing basic theories and fundamental methodologies for synthesis through knowledge systematization by exploiting the artificial intelligence technology, especially Ontological Engineering. The concrete objectives of the project include development several kinds of ontologies for knowledge systematization and development of a multi-agent collaborative synthesis framework. The formers mainly concerned with the domain-independent design object knowledge and the latter with domain-independent design process knowledge. This paper report on the intermediate results in the middle of the project term(five years) as well as on the future plan.
