Enquadramento
The present proposal occurs in the scope of an european project regarding concept creation technology.
This involves studying, conceiving and developing synthesis mechanisms for concept creation. Exploring explicit and implicit knowledge in order to expose new concepts, to enrich the semantics of concepts by discovering new meaningful relations, and to build new conceptual structures where to perform reasoning.
Objetivo
Informed by earlier and ongoing work this thesis will focus on the application of general purpose concept generators to a specific field: the design of 2D and 3D structures.
The adaptation of a general purpose concept generator to this field implies:
• Representing domain-specific knowledge and existent designs;
• Incorporating functional constraints in the evaluation;
• Developing a rendering engine for the presentation of the created structures;
