summary	--- Also printed in 1989 Civil Engineering Systems 6(1&2):11-20. Engineering is concerned with much more than calculation and numeric analysis. It is concerned with ideas, concepts, judgement and deploying experience which cannot be represented numerically. All of these appear to be outside the realm of traditional engineering computing. Engineers make use of knowledge about objects, events and processes and make declarative statements about them which are often written down symbolically. These limitations of traditional computing in civil engineering can be overcome by expert systems. In this paper a number of expert systems dealing with analysis, design and knowledge acquisition in the field of civil engineering are presented

title	Prototype Based Expert Systems
source	University of Sydney, 1989. pp. 179-199
summary	Expert systems made use of rules systems to represent causal knowledge. They were criticized for the shallowness of their knowledge. Hybrid systems were built which combined the capabilities of frames (or semantic nets) to add some deeper conceptual knowledge. This paper proposes that a prototype- based expert system using prototype schemas to represent generalized experiential knowledge can better provide the deeper knowledge necessary. By providing such a central framework it is argued that this allows for the integration of syntactical systems, such as CAD systems, with interpretative knowledge bases or other procedures

source	Southampton/Berlin: CMP/Springer- verlag, 1989. pp. 363-382. Published also in Artificial Intelligence in Engineering 5(2):363-383, 1990
summary	This paper presents the conceptual framework behind the Design Computing Unit's knowledge-based design research. It commences with a brief overview before introducing the role of experience in design. The conceptual schema 'prototypes' is introduced and described within a framework of design as transforming required or expected functions to structure descriptions. Current projects related to this conceptual framework are briefly described

title	Creativity in Design Using a Prototype Approach
source	Design Computing Unit, Department of Architectural and Design Science, University of Sydney, 1989. pp. 207-232. CADLINE has abstract only
summary	This paper discusses creative design as the creation of new syntax in response to required semantics. Various ways of producing creative designs are investigated and it is postulated that the key element in all of these is experience. The paper stresses the need to provide a schema whereby experiences are generalized and stored as concepts wherein syntax and semantics are associated, the prototype schema is seen as providing a suitable structure

title	Expert Systems in Engineering, Architecture and Construction
source	360 p University of Sydney: 1989. CADLINE has abstract only.
summary	Engineering involves both cognitive and calculational processes. It involves judgement as well as numeracy. Cognitive processes and judgement are better served by expert systems than other existing technologies. Expert systems are not designed to replace technologies currently used in engineering, rather they are and will continue to augment them. Clearly, better tools are needed and further education of engineers is needed. This conference aims to provide a forum for the presentation of developments and applications of expert systems in engineering, primarily in Australasia. The 20 papers accepted for presentation span the spectrum of engineering applications of expert systems from analysis and diagnosis, through simulation and modeling, learning, to design and synthesis

title	An Approach to Knowledge-Based Creative Design
source	NSF Engineering Design Research Conference. PREPRINT. 1989. pp. 333-346. CADLINE has abstract only
summary	When considering the design process as a search through a design space, creative design occurs when the design space is expanded by adding knowledge from outside the space. A design space includes a state space, points which represent partial design descriptions, and operators that enable the process to move from one state to another. The design operators embody generalized design knowledge about classes of design solutions, i.e. prototypes. The authors' approach to knowledge- based creative design provides mechanisms for prototype adaptation and generation through analogy and mutation. This model is illustrated by creative solutions to building design problems. The implementation is discussed

title	Requirements of a Reasoning System that Supports Creative and Innovative Design Activity
source	Knowledge Based Systems. 1989. vol.2: pp. 62-71 : ill. includes bibliography
summary	Innovative and creative design occurs when fragments of previous design episodes are retrieved and incorporated into the present design context. This paper presents an implementable approach to innovative and creative design based on notions of prototypes and instances within a dynamic memory model of episodic memory. Innovative and creative design are defined in terms of operators. The requirements of a reasoning system to support these classes of design activity are outlined. Examples of the processes are presented

title	Creative Processes : Can They be Automated?
source	Design Computing Unit, Department of Architectural and Design Science, University of Sydney, 1989. pp. 69-94. CADLINE has abstract only
summary	This paper attempts to identify the nature of creative processes and the relationship of those processes to the automated information processing techniques. Creative processes are characterized in terms of three categories of activity: problem solving, selection and reminding. Intuitive control is identified as a necessary component of any process capable of yielding a creative outcome. The nature of intuitive control is explored. The possibility of automating such control is considered. The implications of the presented characterization of creative processes in relation to the development of fully-automated systems and semi-automated support systems are described

source	TIPS'88 - Knowledge Based Design in Architecture, Acta Polytechnica Scandinavica (1988 : Helsinki, Finland). 143 p. 1989
summary	The technology of knowledge-based systems can be found in texts on artificial intelligence. There is very little published so far on knowledge-based systems in architecture. To this end an international conference -- TIPS' 88: Knowledge-Based Design in Architecture -- was organized for August 1988 in Finland. Thirteen papers from that conference have been selected and edited for this monograph. They are grouped under five parts: Introduction; Schemas and Models; Processes and Knowledge; Modeling Buildings; and Creativity and Knowledge-Based Systems

title	Optimal LPG Station Layout for Planning Permission Using Expert Systems.
source	CHEMECA - 89, pp. 345-352.
summary	CADLINE has abstract only. An expert systems approach is adopted to modeling the control regulations governing the siting of LPG stations. Procedural programs are used to estimate risk. Symbolic representation of the regulations allows for more comprehendible checking of proposed layouts. Additional heuristics allow the layout to be modified to reduce defined societal risk. The system is implemented on SUN workstations using the BUILD expert system shell.
