We propose a novel application of similarity-based evaluation for layout design. Basing evaluations on a pool of existing designs or quickly delivered graphical specifications enables an Evolutionary Algorithm to become an open-ended... more
This paper describes the conceptual framework of a general strategy for developing an engine crankshaft based on computer-aided innovation, together with an introduction to the methodologies from which our strategy evolves. It begins with... more
This paper describes the construction of an information flow that combines parametric modelling and genetic algorithms to optimize both the total weight of a structured steel roof and the shape of its surface to maximize the generation... more
This research spotlights the issue that decisions made at the early stages of building design have the greatest and impact on cost implications for construction and the building lifecycle. While the design of services (heating,... more
Within the software engineering community it is widely accepted that design patterns are very helpful to develop well-structured software. The same kind of support is expected of HCI-Patterns. In this paper we discuss an approach... more
The theory of evolution was possibly the most crucial discovery in the history of mankind. Its changes in the field of biology were ground-breaking. With further research, it has also impacted the field of computing and given rise to some... more
Most evolutionary computation (EC) applications in design fields either assume simplified, static, performance-oriented procedures for design or focus on well-defined sub-problems, to be able to impose problem-solving and optimization... more
Evolvable hardware (EHW) is a set of techniques that are based on the idea of combining reconfiguration hardware systems with evolutionary algorithms. In other word, EHW has two sections; the reconfigurable hardware and evolutionary... more
This study involves analysis of the sketches and the drawings produced during the design process of a house designed by Mario Botta and evaluation of the process itself. The conjecture/analysis model of design is assumed. The main outcome... more
IntroductionThis chapter describes our work in evolution of buildable designs using miniature plasticbricks as modular components. Lego1bricks are well known for their flexibility when it comes tocreating low cost, handy designs of... more
This paper is focused on the study, analysis and development of code for the defuzzification stage of type-2 fuzzy systems, through the average of two type-1 fuzzy systems. This proposal is based on the average method for systems where... more
Modern CAD systems ofier the most simple and natural way to represent complex mechanical structures heavily constrained through a variety of functional, aesthetic, and manufacturing demands. We present two concepts for evolutionary design... more
Die im vorliegenden Buch dokumentierten Untersu- chungen befassen sich mit der Entwicklung von Methoden zur algorithmischen Lösung von Layout- aufgaben im architektonischen Kontext. Layout bezeichnet hier die gestalterisch und funktional... more

We describe the first steps in the adoption of Shape Gram-mars with Grammatical Evolution for application in Evo-lutionary Design. Combining the concepts of Shape Gram-mars and Genetic Programming opens up the exciting pos-sibility of... more
