Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back METHODS OF AUTOMATIC SEARCH FOR ANALOGS AND GENERATION OF TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS IN INTELLIGENT CAD SYSTEMS L.V. Kochina, A.V. Latyshev, V.B. Melekhin, M.V. Khacumov The paper considers the problems of searching for analogs of technological processes and formalized synthesis of specialized information-processing structures by modification of original algorithms according to certain rules. Various measures (scales of nominal, time and value) for the correct comparison of technological processes (presented in the form of graphs and hypergraphs) are given. Methods for comparison of technological processes are universal and applicable in different areas (instrument making, production, medicine). Rules of actions with the original algorithms, including split and merge, leading to the generation of new variants of local algorithms, characterized by uniform data representation forms are described. Each variant of the algorithms is compared with variants of their software or hardware implementation with defined quality indicators. The procedure of splitting of the algorithm graph into subgraphs with minimum connections between them, based on heuristic quality criteria is provided. The result is a construction of the optimized structure for the computing system or device. Key words: intelligent CAD, technological process, search for analogs, metrics, graph model, hierarchical structure, synthesis of technical solutions.
