Abstract:In product design, a decomposition of the overall product function into a set of smaller, interacting functions is usually considered a crucial first step for any computer-supported design tool. Here, we propose a new approach for the decomposition of functions especially suited for later solutions based on Artificial Intelligence.The presented approach defines the decomposition problem in terms of a planning problem-a well established field in Artificial Intelligence. For the planning problem, logic-based sol… Show more
