Book Description
Design optimization is a standard concept in engineering design, and in other disciplines which utilize mathematical decision-making methods. This textbook focuses on the close relationship between a design problem's mathematical model and the solution-driven methods which optimize it. Along with extensive material on modeling problems, this book also features useful techniques for checking whether a model is suitable for computational treatment. Throughout, key concepts are discussed in the context of why and when a particular algorithm may be successful, and a large number of examples demonstrate the theory or method right after it is presented. This book also contains step-by-step instructions for executing a design optimization project - from building the problem statement to interpreting the computer results. All chapters contain exercises from which instructors can easily build quizzes, and a chapter on 'principles and practice' offers the reader tips and guidance based on the authors' vast research and instruction experience.

Implicit Preferences in Engineering Design
Author: Haifeng JiPublisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783844395273

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
During the design of products and systems, a core challenge for design teams is to make choices between design concepts that reflect a group's opinion and allows decisions to be traced back over time. Underlying such decision-making is the notion of preferences in which a design team assigns priorities to a set of design choices. "Implicit Preferences in Engineering Design" presents a design team-centered approach for automatically extracting a team's preferences in an implicit, low overhead way, rather than more traditional, explicit strategies via voting, surveys or questionnaires. This work also explores how preferences evolve throughout the design decision-making process. The methods presented in this book provide a quantitative way to understand and represent qualitative design information using an information extraction method that can operate in the background, while design teams go about their normal work. An illustrative case study is included to indicate the applicability of the approaches proposed in the work.

ISBN: 3540928286
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
Multicriteria analysis is a rapidly growing aspect of operations research and management science, with numerous practical applications in a wide range of fields. This book presents all the recent advances in multicriteria analysis, including multicriteria optimization, goal programming, outranking methods, and disaggregation techniques. The latest developments on robustness analysis, preference elicitation, and decision making when faced with incomplete information, are also discussed, together with applications in business performance evaluation, finance, and marketing. Finally, the interactions of multicriteria analysis with other disciplines are also explored, including among others data mining, artificial intelligence, and evolutionary methods.
