Conceptual Design Tools for Civil Engineering

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3062))

Abstract

This paper gives a brief overview of the tools we have developed to support conceptual design in civil engineering. Based on the UPGRADE framework, two applications, one for the knowledge engineer and another for architects allow to store domain specific knowledge and to use this knowledge during conceptual design. Consistency analyses check the design against the defined knowledge and inform the architect if rules are violated.
